Recap
- Stingray and Dylan being led into prison.
- Joe leaving.
No. 22
Paul is watching the CCTV coverage he has set up of around his house and Ramsay Street. He spots someone hanging around and switches off the lights before leaving.
Ramsay Street
Paul comes out into the street complete with a baseball bat and almost takes a swing at Kim but stops just in the nick of time. Paul apologises to Kim before heading back inside. Bree tells her dad Paul is weird before she spots his bags that Janelle threw at him before telling him to leave (he also tells her of the conversation they had in TSB). Bree isn't impressed at her father leaving even though he says he is only going to the caravan park and adds that both Janae and she can visit whenever they want, starting tomorrow so that she can show him the ropes.
No. 24
Joe is packing his belongings as Sky is a little down at him leaving. Joe promises that he is at the end of the phone anytime she wants to talk. Sky asks if she stuffed things up with Lyn over what she said but he tells her that it was Lyn who told him to go. Joe surprises Sky by telling her that he is taking B5 with him to the bush.
No. 26
Bree comes home to find Janelle in floods of tears due to watching a teary film on TV but quickly composes herself when she sees Bree. Bree asks if she's heard anything about her book yet from the publisher and Janelle replies that she hasn't but feels that she is being fobbed off by them. Bree asks her mum for help in writing a book she has an idea for, which it turns out is basically the story of Kim and Janelle, and wants to know who should make the first move - him or her but Janelle doesn't commit herself to an answer, telling Bree to work it out.
The General Store
Susan and Karl run into each other getting supplies. They reminisce over how things were in the good old days when they were together before Susan tells him all about what the Kinski's are up to. Susan notices Karl has something wrong with his back and asks if it is due to "a little unaccustomed exercise" when he replied that it was only a twinge, before asking him how "his energetic friend Jenny" is. Karl replies that she is fine and they are enjoying spending time with each other and no, he hasn't given her a key yet!
Bush
Boyd and Janae wake up and he volunteers to go and make breakfast but Janae has other ideas and quickly zips the tent back up!
Prison
Stinger gets a shock when the wake up bell rings and wants to go back to sleep because he didn't get much sleep during the night, but Dylan points out that the bell doesn't mean it's time to go back to sleep for 30 mins but that they have 5 mins to get ready for unlock and muster. As the other inmates are heading out, Stinger makes noises at them and Dylan quickly stops him before explaining what else they have to do - strip the bed and queue for breakfast. As they get ready, Dylan asks if Stinger got all the blubbering out of his system during the night, which Stinger denies happened, because if he shows any emotion outside during the day then it will be history for him. Stinger also promises keep his gob shut and his head down when Dylan reminds him how she should behave.
Bush
Boyd cooks up breakfast for them and tells Janae of his plans for once he's finished med school in 6 years time, one of which includes doing a spell OS for an aid programme. Janae isn't impressed with the thought of living rough as she grew up like that, she'll just have lots of babies (3 or 4) to cover the time when Boyd is going through med school but he replies that he only wants kids when he can afford them.
An annoying ring tone signifies a call for Janae - it's Bree telling her to get home because the air in one of her dad's tyres is escaping!
Ramsay Street
Bree hung up quickly on her call to Janae to wish Joe well for his trip. Sky hugs Joe before he departs in the famous yellow taxi after promising to come back soon.
Kim stops the taxi as it begins to move to wish Joe well, and he tells Kim that his thongs (no not his undies but his shoes!) under Janelle's bed before too long but Kim doesn't hold onto Joe's optimism.
Harold arrives and gives Sky a hug as they spot a security guard getting his instructions from Paul. Sky isn't very complimentary and Harold puts her politely in her place. Harold, to Sky's surprise, heads over to see if Paul has had any breakfast, he hasn't, and follows Paul inside.
No. 22 aka Fort Knox
Paul *bolts* the front door shut once they've entered the house as Harold tries to give Paul some of the excess food he's cooked but Paul doesn't want his food. Paul takes another shifty at the CCTV he's installed and Harold is surprised to see that Paul has had to install it, however Paul feels it is necessary given the poisoning and the bombing and therefore isn't taking any chances. Harold asks how Izzy is and Paul replies that she is fine and is due home today. He also comments that Paul could be done with some sleep too when he notices Paul yawning. Paul apologises for the way he treated Harold the other day and is a bit shocked when Harold tells him that there is no need to apologise.
Prison
Stinger has obviously forgotten his lecture from Dylan on how to behave as he literally behaves as if he is a clown in the circus and Dylan quickly tells him to stop and behave. Stinger explains the place is making him hyper ie a return of the ADHD and "threatens" to climb up part of the wall until Dylan reminds him that he'll get shot if he tries that.
No, 26
Janelle watches Kim change the tyre on the van from the house and wonders what is taking him so long, so Bree suggests that she can go out and lend a hand but Janelle is busy...sticking pins in her eyes. Boyd and Janae arrive home and she wants to know what the emergency was and twigs that it was Bree who let the tyre down to stop Kim from leaving until she could get home and persuade their dad to stay. Bree confirms that is partially true but the real emergency is actually Janelle's book before noticing how close Boyd and Janae are (she has her head buried in the nook of Boyd's shoulder) and wants her help in getting their parents back together as they were so close. Janae is reluctant given Kim's past but Bree begs her.
The General Store
Susan tells Sky that Joe will be back before conversation gets round to Dylan and Stinger. Sky is apparently on Dylan's list of approved visitors but is having doubts about their relationship given that she'll be 28 by the time Dylan is a free man if he does the full stretch and doesn't know how she'll feel about him in the future. Susan tells her not to give up hope just yet as there is still an appeal to be held. Karl's arrival ends the conversation and chat now gets round to Connor moving into No. 24 where he is moping around all day and sitting on Serena's bed and how Harold acting like nothing has happened. Susan suggests that it is just Harold showing compassion and Karl adds that he declares that Harold is a saint! Paul and Harold enter the shop and Harold reassures Paul that he'll be safe while he goes to make a coffee.
No. 26
Janelle wants the girls to come out with the truth but Bree can't bring herself to say it, so she says that Janae spent the night with Boyd instead. Janelle starts to go off on one for Janae lying to her but once Bree spells out in one word syllables, Janelle is over the moon! After a mother/daughter hug, Janelle wants details including if they used protection! Janae replies that it was wonderful and that they did use protection before going onto explain to her mum that she and Boyd are soul mates and that he respects her as well as liking and loving each other. Janelle is so pleased for her daughter, and Janae comments that she feels the same way as her parents do. Janelle doesn't like that comment and describes Kim as a lazy no-hoper but the kids point out that nobody is perfect, including her! Janelle remembers the list that Bree wrote which pointed that out and Janae tells her that she has a choice - remain miserable and thus making them miserable by rejecting Kim or taking a chance and be happy.
Ramsay Street
Kim eventually gets the tyre changed only to find another flat one courtesy of Bree. Janelle approaches him to say that she is off to see the boys and does he want a lift. Kim thanks her and as they walk to the car, wonders if she is worried that the boys will get the impression that they are back together if they turn up together. "Yes it might," replies Janelle before she gets into the car.
Prison
Stinger tries to convince his parents that everything is fine and nervously jumps when the bell to signify the end of visiting time rings. He also refuses to give Janelle a kiss and Dylan take the opportunity to tell his dad that they've got to get a plan together to get Stinger out of prison because he doesn't know how much longer he can protect his brother when he is trying to look out for himself at the same time. Kim tells Dylan that they are working on the appeal but it isn't easy before Dylan has to go back inside.
No. 22 aka Fort Knox
Paul again locks Harold and himself in the house when they return back from TGS and Paul takes a call as Harold puts the supplies into the kitchen. It's the police aka telephone chipmunk on the phone but it isn't good news - the police have lost Tony Corbett. Paul quickly gets on the radio to Eric the security guard from earlier to tell him to keep an eye out for Tony. Harold is bemused as to why Tony would be coming to Ramsay Street, so Paul explains that the police found evidence yesterday that Tony is an immediate lethal threat to his life and given that he's failed twice previously, Tony isn't going to stop until he succeeds.
Paul suddenly remembers Elle and dials her number as Harold asks how he can help.
No. 26
Janelle and Kim are back from seeing the boys and he is determined to get the money together somehow for an appeal. Janelle asks if they can be happy again and he twigs that she is referring to them. She admits that she is sick of fighting and just wants to be happy, and as he tenderly stokes Janelle's face, he tells her that she just has to say the word because he loves her. The girls watch as their parents lean in for a pash, happy to see them reunited.
