Steph asks will it apply to her too if she goes with him and he says yes. Steph wonders if there is another way, but Woody tells her the police say no or at least not for a few years. Woody tells Steph he loves her and doesn't want to leave her and asks her to think about it. Steph says she needs time to do so but Woody says they haven't got time as he leaves tomorrow morning.

No. 30
Lou calls round to apologise to Toadie, but Toadie tells him to forget about it, so Lou says he will pay for a barrister to defend him instead. Toadie says it is too late as he couldn't get anyone to defend him and also there isn't enough time to prepare a case, and besides Lou shouldn't feel guilty. Lou asks Toadie for a favour - babysitting Lolly. Toadie asks him if he's got a hot date and Lou replies "something like that."
No. 26
Lyn and Joe aren't exactly happy with Steph's bombshell and tell her she isn't going. Steph says it is her decision, and that he's the right guy for her. Lyn reminds her what she is giving up and Steph says she will give up more by not going with Woody. Joe tries to tell her that he's used her and them but Steph says she is the one that told him to go to the police and to give evidence, and she loves him and can't let him be by himself. Lyn begs her not to go but Steph says she has to go with him.
Jack and Woody come back in and Jack asks if everything is ok. Joe replies it isn't because Steph is going to leave with Woody. Lyn now has a go at Woody for asking Steph and Joe says if he loves Steph he'd leave right now and Steph tells them all to stop.
No. 30

Flick and Michelle now know about Steph leaving and can't believe what she is doing. Steph says she doesn't want to lose them but she loves Woody and he needs her. Michelle storms through to the livingroom and tells Woody she hates him before going to her room. Lyn says there must be an alternative but Woody says he can't spend his life looking over his shoulder. Lyn now tries the heart stings approach by asking how his mother will feel not being able to contact him but he tells her she washed her hands of him when he went to prison. Lyn asks Steph to be certain Woody is the one as it is too big a risk to take on a hope.
