Beth is banging on about wedding outfits and remind Lauren about the Wedding Rehearsal. When Beth has gone, Lauren rolls her eyes and looks fed up.

LAUREN: If this was the romance of the century, what was the groom doing fooling around with me?!
LOU: Oh, Lauren, be fair!
LAUREN: It's such a big sham! I mean, what sort of basis is this for a happy marriage.
LOU: Hey, hey, calm down. Now...if Brad wants to go ahead with it, there's nothing you can do.
LAUREN: The last thing I feel like is being a bridesmaid. I feel like such a hypocrite!
LOU: I know, but if you drop out now, you're going to let the cat out of the bag. Beth's too nice a kid, you can't do that.
LAUREN: That's why I feel so awful. I'm sorry, Dad, I shouldn't have sounded off like that. It's just I'm not feeling too crash- hot. I've got a grumbling gut and a lousy head.

Lou feels her forehead and allows that she does feel hot. She just has to wait for the result of the blood test now.

DEBBIE: I told him I didn't want him to, I told him to go to Sydney.
PHIL: Why?!
DEBBIE:(crying) Because...
PHIL: Come on, you can tell your old Dad.
DEBBIE: He...he just doesn't understand about the way I feel sometimes.
PHIL: Shh, don't cry. It's alright, you're going to be alright, Deb.

RICK: I think we ought to talk.
DEBBIE: If that's what you want.
RICK: I've, um...been wondering. Have you been really worried about what happened the other night?
DEBBIE: ...
RICK: Look, I'm sorry, Deb. Just you said...I thought you wanted it too. You must be feeling terrible.
DEBBIE: I did want to...but afterwards everything just seemed so different, you know? I mean, the first time, it should be special, but we just sort of rushed into it without thinking it through.
RICK: Yeah...I know I might have gone on a bit in the past about, you know, being a man of the world and all that. Well, it was all talk. The other night was my first time too.
DEBBIE:(surprised) It was?
RICK: Well, couldn't you tell?! OK, so, I was scared at first, but if I'd known you had any doubts I'd have backed off at a million miles an hour! You don't have to worry, Deb. If you'd rather we went back to the way things were, it's fine by me. I just care about you too much to wreck our relationship.
DEBBIE: What relationship? You here and me in Sydney?
RICK: But you *told* me to go!
DEBBIE: I didn't mean it!
RICK: You didn't?!
DEBBIE: What do you think?
RICK: Well, I won't go.
DEBBIE: But your parents want you to.
RICK: So what?! If you want me to stay, I'll stay. Do you?
DEBBIE: Yeah!
RICK: Right. That's all I need to know.

They smile at each other.

CATHY: Here, take this, but don't let your father see.
RICK: What is it?
CATHY: Shhh, I've opened a bank account for you, it's our secret. Don't you use it unless there's an emergency, do you understand?
RICK: Yeah, sure.
CATHY: And I'll make a deal with you. If the money's still there in a year's time, I'll double it, alright?

Rick opens the bank book and is shocked to see there's $2000 in there!

Lauren is having a check- up. Lou comes to see her.

LAUREN: The tests show that I've got PID.
LOU: What's that when it's home?
LAUREN: Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. Caused by an attack of chlamydia.
LOU: No, no, hang on love, tell me all that again in ordinary language.
LAUREN: Well...chlamydia's an STD. A sexually transmitted disease.
LOU: WHAT?! Just wait until I get my hands on that stupid surfie...
LAUREN: Dad, it mightn't be Brad's fault. I mean, well...I don't know how long I've had it for.
LOU: You mean Cameron could have...?
LAUREN: No, it's definitely not Cameron! We were always...careful, you know.
LOU: So, what do you do now?
LAUREN: Take a course of antibiotics.
LOU: It's as simple as that?
LAUREN: Well, that's what the doctor said.

ANNALISE: What a laugh, the bridesmaid passing out! I hope it's not a bad omen?
BETH: No, I don't believe in omens. Besides, as long as people are getting married for the right reasons, there shouldn't be any problems.
ANNALISE: Depends on what they think the right reasons are, doesn't it?
BETH: Well, I don't mean money. With me and Brad it's because we love each other. Simple.
ANNALISE: What, even though the engagement was a mistake in the first place?
BETH: What are you talking about?
ANNALISE: Don't you know?
BETH: Know what?! Look, Annalise, if this is another one of your vicious rumours, you're going to be sorry you opened your mouth!
ANNALISE: It's not! Stephen told me.
BETH: Told you what?!
ANNALISE: That when Brad gave you the ring in the first place, it was just a friendship ring.
BETH: My engagement ring?
ANNALISE: Yeah, then you went and jumped the gun and thought he was proposing.
BETH: Oh, that's ridiculous! You're just trying to get your own back.
ANNALISE: I'm not! It's the truth!
BETH: Well then, why didn't Brad *say* anything?
ANNALISE: I don't know, he just didn't want to let you down, I suppose. You know what a softie he is.

Beth looks worried.

Hospital
Pam is looking in on Lauren. Lou has had a word with the doctor, who has said Lauren will be fine after taking the antibiotics.

LAUREN: Pam, they said they were going to do a ... laparoscopy. What does that mean, exactly?
PAM: Well, the PID can sometimes cause lesions on the fallopian tubes, they just need to check you out. It's alright, it's a very simple procedure.
LOU: You mean, it's not a big operation?
PAM: Oh, no, no.
LAUREN: Well, these lesions...are they dangerous?
PAM: Well, there's a chance that they could cause infertility.
