Beth's mum has had a shower and she and Beth are reminiscing. Her mother wants her to be sure about Brad.
BUNNY: Are you sure he's good enough for you?
BETH: Yes.
BUNNY: You said that before, about Rob Baker.
BETH: Yeah, but that was different, I was confused. I wanted someone to look after me.
BUNNY: Not a bad thing in a husband.
BETH: Well, Brad will do that too, but we'll be more partners, we'll share things.
BUNNY: Good. This physical thing is all very well. I know.
BETH: Yeah, you do.
BUNNY: To my regret. I know what it's like to make a bad mistake and I don't want the same thing to happen to you.
BETH: It's going to be OK, Mum, honestly. Brad is everything I've ever wanted. Now that I've got him, I intend on keeping him. We'll be happy.
BUNNY: Good on ya.

BRAD: Sure.
He goes downstairs to finish clearing up the keg and Annalise takes the cheque out of her pocket and looks at it.

JULIE: She certainly did that.
ANNALISE: Fair enough you don't like her, but your dad did!
JULIE: It's hardly relevant now.
ANNALISE: She's been horribly upset about this whole thing, she never wanted it to turn out like it did.

Annalise has come to see Julie and Phil.
ANNALISE: Um...look. I know you've been thinking of going to the police about how Mr Robinson died. And yeah, it does look pretty suss, mum taking off, but she's done nothing wrong. It's not her fault that he died.
JULIE: Well, of course, she'd say that. What about my inheritance?
PHIL: Julie, please.
ANNALISE: Thanks. Look, I know mum better than anyone else. She's not perfect, but she wouldn't kill anyone...
JULIE: How would you know?!
ANNALISE: She was very fond of Mr Robinson, I happen to know that for a fact.
JULIE: Well, you're loyal to her at least.
ANNALISE: Look, I didn't come here to defend her, alright? I came here to straighten a few things out.
JULIE: Yeah, I can see that!
PHIL: Julie, come on! There's no problem with your job at Lassiter's in case that was on your mind, Annalise.

PHIL: I appreciate you coming to speak to us.
ANNALISE: Yeah, sure.

No.24
Brad pops round and without realising Beth's mum is on the couch, refers to her as "Godzilla"(!)
BUNNY: It's a serious commitment, Brad, it is not a game.
BRAD: Yeah, I know that, Mrs Lawson.
BUNNY: Good. Now then, perhaps you'd tell me what you're doing afterwards. Where are you planning on living?
BETH: Well, we need to find something fairly cheap.
BRAD: Yeah, and near the beach.
BUNNY: Why the beach?
BRAD: For the surf.
BETH: Oh, Brad(!)
BUNNY: You're a surf- head as well. Terrific.
Brad tells Beth that Swampy has suggested they could lease a caravan near the beach, and Bunny is appalled! Beth says she doesn't want to live in a caravan.
