Honeymoon
The honeymooners are lolling about in bed. Donna wants to know what the gossip is back on Ramsay Street, but Ringo just wants to eat scones. She tries to send a text but Ringo takes the phone from her. . He wants to eat more scones, but Donna tells him she'll end up the size of a house. They decide to "work the scones off" and get all kissy (that bed is seriously creaky). Donna multi- tasks and sends a text whilst kissing. Eew, open eye kissing.
Police Station
Rebecca receives a text but doesn't read it. Det. Brennan comes in and wants to talk about what happened when Diana told Rebecca about Paul's cheating ways. Rebecca tells him it's private.
DET: It's relevant.
REBECCA: I don't want to talk about it.
DET: I know this must be hard, but the best way of helping yourself is by putting everything out on the table.
Rebecca refuses to say anything. Toadie bursts in, angry that Brennan started asking questions before he arrived. Det. Brennan tells him they were just discussing Paul's adultery with Diana.
Hospital
Everyone in Erinsborough has the same message tone. Dec also receives and ignores one of Donna's texts. Sophie and Cal drop by but the police won't let them see Paul. They ask Declan what happened.
Police Station
Toadie restates that Rebecca was at home and arrived at Lassiters after the attack happened. Brennan wants to know why she went back to Lassiters when the wedding was over. Rebecca wanted to confront Paul. Toadie advises her not to answer any more questions.
DET. BRENNAN: And when you found your husband?
REBECCA: He was already on the ground and I didn't tell you about this because I know what it looks like.
Nobody can confirm that Rebecca was at home after Diana left. Brennan tells Rebecca that if nobody can verify her account then she'll have to return to the police station. He and the other police constable leave and Rebecca begins to cry. Toadie comforts her.
Honeymoon
The couple are still eating and loafing. Donna thinks she could get quite used to it. There's a knock at the door. Donna tells Ringo to put some clothes on, but Ringo answers in his boxers anyway. It's the lady who owns the B&B ( I assume it's a B&B) and she's brought some flowers from the garden. There's a weird noise from outside the room. I think it sounds like turkeys. The lady says it's probably "her" getting a bit frisky.
DONNA: Ringo, will you please put something on.
MRS THOMAS: Oh, nothing I haven't seen before and she doesn't mind!
DONNA: (misunderstanding) I don't mind... I just...
MRS THOMAS: Not you dear, her.
DONNA: Who's "her"?
MRS THOMAS: The ghost! I hope she didn't keep you both awake, she can be pretty active.
Mrs Thomas thinks the ghost probably likes having a nice young man around. Ringo is like "yeah, ghost. Whatever." Donna is excited at the prospect and plans to stay up that night.
Hospital
Rebecca thanks Declan for sending Toadie. Dec can't believe that Diana just dropped her in it to get the police off her back. Rebecca tells him that Brennan thinks she did it and that she can't prove that she was at home because nobody saw her.
Sophie and Callum are still trying to find ways of getting a bunch of flowers to Paul, but the policeman won't let them in.
Harold's
Kate is all stressed out. Toadie asks if she's heard anything from the hospital and how Declan's doing. Kate wouldn't know. Just then Declan walks in. Kate decides to take her break after all and goes off into the kitchen. Declan follows her and explains that the police questioned Rebecca again and think she pushed Paul.
DECLAN: I'm the only one who can back up her story and I'm not an independent. She needs someone to say that they saw her at home late last night.
Kate realises that Declan wants her to lie to the police and makes it clear that she can't.
She follows him out of the kitchen apologising. Diana comes in and asks Dec what he's looking at. She tells him he's eager to point the finger, but Dec points out that she's the one who landed Rebecca in it.
DIANA: I told the truth. Your mother had just as much reason to push him as anyone else.
DECLAN: You did this. You're responsible for all of it. My mother is a good person!
DIANA: You would have pushed him too if you had the guts!
Declan storms out and Lou tells Diana that's enough, but Diana is on a roll now.
DIANA: Anyone here could have pushed him. You (pointing to Toadie) and that woman you married. Your mousey little friend here (I.e Sonya). The woman who owns this place. The Kennedy woman!
KATE: Get out.
DIANA: Oh you found your tongue.
KATE: I think you heard what I said.
DIANA: You're all hypocrites!
She slams out of the store too. The extras sport "well it's hardly like I pushed him, all I do is drink coffee and walk about" looks.
Honeymoon Exterior
Donna wants to know what's wrong with ghosts. Ringo rolls his eyes which does not go unnoticed by Donna. He doesn't understand why they're arguing about it when they're supposed to be "blissing out". Donna spots Mrs Thomas and runs over to find out more about the ghost. Mrs Thomas tells them that the ghost was a beautiful young girl who lived there when it was a farm and fell in love with the stable boy (obviously). They tried to elope but when her father found out he shut her in her room and sent the boy to war (even more obviously). He was killed on his first day, but he died clutching her photo to his heart. The girl never came out of her room, she just faded away. Mrs Thomas hands Donna a sprig of lavender and rosemary, the girl's favourites. I think I'm about the sceptic ship with Ringo on this one, but Donna thinks it's a wonderfully romantic story.
DONNA: Why can't there be a ghost in our honeymoon suite and why can't Mrs Thomas pick flowers for a girl who died of a broken heart and why the hell hasn't anyone replied to my text?!
She decides to text everyone about the ghost to get their attention. Ringo just rolls his eyes again. They're going to be spinning in their sockets by the time he and Donna are old and grey.
Hospital
Sophie picks up the text from Donna but tells Callum that Kate said to let them enjoy their honeymoon. She reads the text to Callum who thinks the ghost news is awesome. Sophie manages to sweet talk the policeman into putting the flowers in Paul's room. She tells Callum she has the gift of the gab. Yeah, really needed to kiss the Blarney stone to pull that one off Soph!
Dr Doug comes out and tells Rebecca that Paul's condition is deteriorating and he's recommending that they put him into a medically induced coma to give him the best possible chance of recovery. There are no guarantees though. Rebecca is upset.
Police Station
Kate would like to make a statement. Oh dear.
After the break Det. Brennan has read through Kate's statement and asks her some questions about when she saw Rebecca because Rebecca didn't mention seeing her. (Why didn't she just say that she saw her out of the window?) He asks if Kate is close with Paul. She says she is. (Yeah, when it suits the storyline...) He asks about the rest of the family and she explains that she and Declan were together. He's interested to know about Declan and Paul's relationship.
KATE: It's tricky. My uncle can be difficult and Declan he's...
BRENNAN: He's got a temper.
KATE: He's a good person.
BRENNAN: He's a good person with a temper.
Kate agrees that Declan can lose it at times but Paul is pretty hard on him. She admits that they fight. Brennan doesn't think it's surprising given his history. The history that is unknown to Kate. Oh dear.
Honeymoon
The moon is bright, the breeze is rustling the trees, the owls are hooting. Ringo is asleep but is semi- woken by the sound of Donna's phone receiving a text. He sleepily tells Donna that she got a message, is she happy now? He suddenly realises that Donna isn't there. He reads the message, which is from Callum via Sophie "OMG tell me about the ghost." Wow it took a while for that text to arrive! Ringo gets up to look for Donna. The creepy ghosty plinky plonky Casper/Harry Potter music leads him to eight sprigs of lavender and rosemary laid out under the window. Suddenly a ghostly veiled woman walks past the window, ever so slightly alarming Ringo. He opens the door a crack and sees the veiled woman walking down the corridor. He creeps out and suddenly Donna jumps out at him and pulls the sheet/veil off her head.
DONNA: Oh my god your heart is beating so fast. I didn't think you believed in ghosts.
RINGO: I don't.
DONNA: Then why are you running around the corridors in the middle of the night?
RINGO: Because I thought I saw something.
DONNA: What? A ghost? See you doubted yourself for just a second!
Donna is clearly enjoying herself. Ringo thinks she's crazy but he loves her. They go back to their room and Ringo tells her that he's not cleaning up the lavender. Donna doesn't know what he's talking about. Ringo gets slightly freaked out again and closes the window. Donna takes a sprig of lavender out of the pocket of her nightie. (Where did she get the granny gown from?)
Hospital
Kate finds Declan and he apologises for asking her to lie to protect Rebecca. She tells him that she went to the police and told them that she was with Rebecca. Declan is really grateful and says that he'll fill her in. Kate tells him that they asked her heaps of questions about the family, Paul and him and she told the truth this time. They told her about his criminal past - stealing cars and attacking people. She can't believe he never told her. The police are on to him. Kate asks Declan if he pushed Paul.
DECLAN: No!
KATE: I'm just warning you. The police have got it in for you.
Police Station
Declan (with his legal representation, Toadie) wants to talk to Det. Brennan. He'd like to make his statement. Brennan thinks the timing is good as they've had some news. Some of the blood on Paul's jacket wasn't Paul's. He'd like to know what Dec's blood type is and how he cut his hand.
