Lou comes in and says that is the last of Phoebe and Hope off to Dorothy's. Lou says one down, two to go. Lauren is confused what he means. Lou says that the two are Lauren and Beth - only two mad women to live with instead of three or four if you count Hope. Lauren says thanks very much at being counted as a mad woman. Lauren doesn't know what Lou is complaining about as they hardly see Beth. Lou says it is hardly surprising under the circumstances. Lauren agrees he is right.

Lou thinks it must be awkward for the two of them. Lou thinks it must be the same for him and Brad and Lauren is unsure what Lou means. Lou says it is the way he and Brad keep avoiding each other. Lou says he hasn't been to the Waterhole in yonks in case they see each other. Lauren is not sure why. Lou says he could forget himself as he has a quick temper and he might say something he will regret. Worse still he might do something he will regret. Lauren tells him not to be silly - he doesn't need to be like that. Lou thinks it is a matter of opinion. Lauren says what's done is done. There is no point holding a grudge about something that's history. Lou thinks it's a good thing too. Lou tells Lauren she's better off without Brad. Lauren says she knows that. Lou tells Lauren to forget about Brad. Lou tells Lauren to get dolled up and go off and have fun and meet some new people. Lauren says he means new guys. Lou asks why not. Lauren rolls her eyes.

A Toyota car pulls into the Street. Wayne and Gaby are in the car and they are rather short with each other. They are glad to be back.

WAYNE: Great. Here we are then.
GABY: I'm glad to say.
WAYNE: Yeah well. You're not the only one. You did nothing but whinge the whole way.
GABY: I was not whinging.
WAYNE: You're joking! I'm sick of hearing about me and Troy.
GABY: Well what do you expect? When you act like a self centred pig headed (I'm not sure what the last word is)
WAYNE: Pig headed? I'm pig headed? That's a joke.

They both walk off to their own houses.

WAYNE: She's lucky she's not stranded on a road out in Allbury. I came that close to driving off and leaving her there.
BRAD: (laughs) That bad, hey?
WAYNE: She kept making all these wise cracks about Troy. It was like she had to go on and on scoring points.
BRAD: She really hates you.
WAYNE: Well I was in top form. Did she tell you about the Japanese?
BRAD: Yeah. She reckons he kidnapped her.
WAYNE: They weren't complaining. Gaby was the one with the problem. The same thing the night with the King's cross. Did she tell you about us on stage at the olds?
BRAD: Yeah. I thought she was joking! (Wayne shakes his head). I guess this is it then?
WAYNE: She'll see the funny side when she calms down.
BRAD: You reckon?
WAYNE: So she expects me to go crawling does she?
BRAD: Well - no - maybe.
WAYNE: I think I've done my dash.
BRAD: Mate - it's pretty dark. She was expecting posh dinners and sailing on the harbour.
WAYNE: I guess it was a bit out of control. I dunno. Maybe I should follow your example - retire from the mating game a bit. Bet your life's a lot simpler these days.
BRAD: Yeah. You sure that's what you want?

Gaby is on the computer and Philip is looking over her shoulder. He asks her what she thinks. Gaby isn't sure. Philip apologises for having to get Gaby in today - he didn't know what else to do. The whole system's a mess and Philip originally thought Annalise had wiped the lot. Gaby doesn't think this is Annalise's fault. Philip says it was alright before Annalise started fiddling with it. Gaby says she knows but she's been trying to undelete the files. She says it should be fairly straightforward but nothing's happening. Philip asks what she means. Gaby says there could be a virus on the hard disk. Philip says not again but Gaby thinks it is.

Gaby thinks the backups have gone as well. Gaby says they will have to reload all the data. Philip asks how long it will take. Gaby says it will take some time. Philip groans. Philip asks if it's a virus has someone interfered with the system. Gaby says that's what usually happens. Philip guesses it was Russell Butler. Gaby is confused. Philip says he was in in the beginning and Stephen warned him about Russell. Stephen had some conspiracy theory about him setting things up to make them fail. Philip didn't take much notice at the time. Now they've had an argument about the bill and now the computer crashes. Philip asks what Gaby thinks. Gaby thinks it's possible. Gaby wants to know how Russell got access. Philip doesn't know. Philip thinks Annalise might know.

Brad says it is best if he lays low for a little while just till things settle down. Lou thinks this is a good idea. Lou says he'll tell Lauren. Brad thanks him.

Wayne tells Gaby he is not apologising. He doesn't see he has anything to apologise for. He also doesn't see why they should be at each other's throats the whole time - it's not that important. Gaby says it is important to her. Wayne asks to agree to differ. Gaby says she doesn't know. Wayne asks Gaby if she would like to go to the show at Elliot Park. Gaby asks what sort of a show it is.

Wayne says he isn't but she wasn't interested in cow and she came to the livestock show. Gaby thinks it will bore Wayne to death. Wayne says especially if it bores him to death as it will make amends. Gaby is happy to agree and she accepts.
