No.32
Phil still can't get hold of Julie. He and Helen are both worried about her. They talk about the business and Phil says he's had enough of Gaby - it'll go one of two ways, either she'll fail, or she'll succeed and Phil will move on.

No.24
Raymond tells everyone that Chukkamental is a good opportunity. It turns out that Bright and Oaks are known to Raymond, and he's responsible for the current offer.

Hospital

Raymond shows Gaby some designs. She says she can't place a textile order at the moment as they have a lot of capital expenditure coming up with the Waterhole rebuild.

Lassiter's Lake
Brad finds Lauren sitting on a bench. She's very upset about the sale of Chukky. Brad reminds her that upkeep on a horse costs a lot of money, and they might end up cheating Chukky - if they sell him, he'll have the best food and stables, and the chance to be a real champion.

No.32
Phil is sitting in the jacuzzi talking to Tommy and Hannah. Apparently Tommy told the bullies to "rack off" today.
