No.28 (evening)
Gaby is cuddling baby Zac in motherly bliss. She, Beth and Doug make smalltalk then Pam comes in, wondering where Cody is. Apparently she's gone over to Rick's place to "study".
Gaby tells Pam carefully that she should call her boss back, but she says she can't work under that woman any more. Pam might sign up with a nursing agency instead, and Doug is supportive. He moans about how much paperwork he has to do in his job and wishes he could get another one.
No.30
Cody and Rick are looking at the photos of him, and they can't see his rash at all. Mark is missing Annalise. Cody and Rick suggests a game of Pictionary. Ren comes in and joins them.

Kim comes round to ask Debbie to come down to the salon tomorrow, to practise for the competition. Debbie isn't keen, but he assures her it'll be fine.
No.28
Gaby and Beth are cooing over Zac. Beth asks her if the birth was really painful and Gaby tells her to book an epidural now(!) But it was all worth it.
GABY: When I first looked down at that little human being. Perfect little fingernails and tiny ears...I remember thinking ever single moment's been worthwhile. Don't be scared.
BETH: I'm not scared. Well, maybe just a little bit. You make it sound so beautiful.
GABY: It is.
BETH: I'm starting to get excited. I just can't wait to *have* him. Her. Whatever, as long as it's healthy. Oh, Gaby, you should see Brad, he's clucky like you wouldn't believe!
Cody comes in and Gaby admonishes her for not studying enough.
No.28, the following morning
Gaby is on the phone to Alan Crowley, the new manager at Lassiter's. The conversation doesn't go well and he tells Gaby to move her stuff out of the office(!)
Lassiter's Lake
Gaby is stalking towards the Lassiter's Office when Rick comes over to see her. He asks her if he can have his contract.
Just then, they see a giant profile shot of Rick on a poster with the caption "A new profile in service". Both Gaby and Rick are delighted with it.
No.26

Pam is on the phone to the nursing agency, who have given her an evening shift tonight at a nursing home. Gaby is making a list of things to take to Darwin. She is upset about Alan Crowley being horrible to her - apparently he told her he didn't think she was capable of handling the work in Darwin. Pam reassures her that she's more than proved herself, and anyway, what would Alan Crowley know.
