Coffee Shop
Susan and Lyn have got coffees and sit down at the nearest table. Susan asks how Lyn's week has been, which it's been on the Erinsborough gossip circle. Everybody knows what's going on, and helps out of need be. Susan isn't too sure if she likes the sound of that... She hopes Steph and Libby make up, it seems like Steph is a good friend to both Libby and Drew. Lyn assures her that even though they have had their ups and downs, they've always pulled through. Susan wants to know how Lyn's going, but Lyn doesn't have enough time to worry about her with all of Steph's problems, and Michelle's dramas but she wouldn't swap it for the world. Lyn thinks it's now Susan's turn, joking around about Susan starting the fan club for Dr Karl and The Right Prescription. In fact it's the opposite, she's asked him for a divorce. She can't go on being in limbo, wishing and hoping for something that might never happen and Karl can't either. Lyn thinks she should think about it but Susan has done nothing but think about it. Lyn's mobile phone rings, she presumes there are more dramas at home. In fact it's Michelle with good news, Connor's back. She wanted to make sure Connor can stay with them, and Lyn says if it's what he wants.

Stuey's doing sit ups in the lounge room. Toadie wanders in and asks Stu if it's just him or is it getting crowded in there. Stu's stuff seems to be spreading around like a bad disease or its breeding. Toadie asks if Stu can put it somewhere and Stu shoots back where, there's no space in his room. Toadie's sure Stu never had that much stuff before he left. Stu says it's amazing how much stuff you accumulate after being in the army. Toadie thinks its lucky Stu didn't spend too much time in the army or they would be sharing the lounge room with a tank. Bob comes running in and jumps all over Stu, preventing him from doing his sit ups. They have a bit of a love fest, of Stu talking doggie "aww you're such a good doggie" talk to him and Toadie gets a bit jealous, asking him to tell him how much he loves him. Bob replies with an angry bark, and he stays with Stu. Stu laughs at stroppy Bob and Toadie will remember that the next time Bob wants a treat. Bobby continues angrily barking at the Toad.

Steph's handing over the motorbike to the police. Lyn turns up asking if everything's alright and Steph just explains what she's doing. St. Douglas asks for the receipt, which Steph has, and Steph explains she didn't buy the bike it just turned up one day. Paid in cash and put in her name. St. Douglas asks if Steph knows who sent it, she doesn't really know but she thinks it was Mitch. She though the St. might need it for evidence or something. They'll take it down to the station and also St. Douglas needs to ask Steph a few questions. Steph asks if she wants to go inside but she thinks it would be best if they went to the station. Lyn asks St. Douglas how long it would take and she makes a plan to put the dinner on and then come pick Steph up later. Now Joe turns up wanting to know what's going on, so Steph explains it to him. Joe offers to go with her but Steph declines, saying it will be alright. She leaves in the police car and on the way into the house Lyn tells Joe not to say anything stupid to Connor. Michelle's forgiven him so they should too.

She wants to know how a lamb roast sounds and Connor thinks it sounds great. Lyn asks Michelle to come help and Connor offers to help too but Joe holds him back, wanting to have a word with him. The sit down, Connor saying he knows that Joe is probably a bit upset with him. He promises that he will never do that to Michelle again. Joe guesses that the fact Connor can't read or write is the reason behind Connor saying he wasn't good enough for Michelle. But what matters in life is not the problems we have, but they way we overcome them, and he hopes that Connor's learnt that doing a runner isn't the best solution. Connor acknowledges that he's been giving them the run around lately, and that he would understand if Joe doesn't want him to live there anymore but Joe thinks that would be a bit stupid, catching Connor by surprise. But as long as Connor is living under the same roof as Joe he knows what they are getting up too. He's not there to critisise Connor, he's here to help him which Connor appreciates.

Number 22
Susan's visiting Drew, saying she's sure he and Libby will work it out. He hopes they do, he hates fighting with Lib especially about all this. They both agree, but they would go about it in different ways. Libby should've spoken to Steph first. Susan has come to realise that she can be impulsive and very protective of Ben. And that's why Drew loves her! Drew says it's weird because he has no one to talk too about it, because he used to go to Susan and Karl for advice because they were experts. Susan laughs and says experts on fighting but no, Drew meant they could put things into perspective. Susan and Karl had been through it all; they've been a great team. Susan thinks if this is Drew's not so subtle way of saying what a great marriage she had and that she shouldn't get a divorce, he needs a change in tactics. They go over to the couch, Drew saying she did have a great marriage but Susan points out the past tense. Drew asks about the flashes of memory, doesn't that give Susan hope of all her memories returning. A few seconds of memory are not something to build a life on, that she can't just sit around waiting and hoping. Drew has one last ditch attempt, telling her this also affects the kids but she says she can't be responsible for everyone else's feelings. She's battling with her own. Drew wants her to do him a favour, get some legal advice. Maybe go see Toadie but she has no idea who he is! Drew offers to go get him now because he's only across the road but Susan will talk to Libby first and then she'll think about it.
Lou's Place
Stu's going along with the lie, telling random girl, Sophie, he's not sure what he wants to specialize in yet. He orders two more beer and says the others tell him that cosmetic surgery is where the money is but he would rather do something more for the society, maybe become a surgeon and work in emergency. Sophie asks if he knows anything about skin, because she has a mole on her back, and she asks him if it's bad. He compliments her shoulder and she means seriously, because she's really worried about it. Oh you're in a hole now Stuey! He suggests that maybe she should go see a real doctor, because he was only having a lend of her. He works at the hospital but he's a food server's assistant. She calls him a jerk and storms out. Toadie has arrived to see this little performance and asks Stu what his secret with women is and has a good old laugh. Stu explains what he did and Toadie continues to have a laugh, saying the only thing he helps with is tapioca and rice pudding that's hardly saving lives. Stu reckons he would've struck out anyway when she had realised he was living in a broom cupboard. Toadie has no idea what Stu is going on about, Joel spent many years in there quite happily. Anyway, Toadie wants to know if Stu's back on the horse again, over Flick and ready to move on. Stu doesn't look too sure, but he says maybe. Toadie thinks that if it is well he should try something besides "Hi I'm Stuart and I'm a doctor!" that maybe he should try "Hi I'm Stuart and I'm a rocket scientist!" or "Hi I'm Stuart and I'm an astronaut!" Stu shakes his head and ignores him while Toadie continues with different pick up lines, like Stu being the prince of Persia.

Joe's sitting at the dining room table reading the paper when Connor walks in asking what's the news. Joe can't imagine what it would be like to not be able to read the paper or a book or road signs. Ah Connor says road signs are easy, red means stop and green means go. Joe asks how he was able to keep it quiet for so long and Connor rpelies he bluffed, plus he had a good memory. Joe remembers that Connor was an usher at Steph's wedding but he had memorized the seating arrangements, he had got Michelle to test him. And when he had helped Joe on the site that was bluff and he had got Tad to help him. But he would never have put anyone on the site in danger.

Just to speak to her as a professional and tell her what she's supposed to do but he can't. He isn't fully qualified yet. But even if he was, he doesn't think he could because of personal interest. They are like parents to him so he couldn't get involved. Susan understands. Toadie says Drew was right in her seeking legal advice, and gets her a list of some reputable law firms that specialize in family law. He will also write down a list of questions to ask.
