Number 24
Kate barges in and tells Lucas off for giving her the wrong idea about Jade and Mark. She calls him an idiot, but Lucas says she's being harsh - he didn't tell her to storm into the gym and act like a lunatic. Sophie hears them yelling and sheepishly tells Kate that the whole thing might be her fault. Sophie informs her sister that she caught Mark giving her "the look" and then asked Jade to suss things out. Kate acts like a brat about it and goes off to have a shower, so Sophie cons Lucas into making things right with everyone by stealing the TV remote from him.
Number 22
Paul overhears Andrew and Tomas working together on a new dance party and is impressed by their work ethic. Andrew tells his dad they're hoping to book DJ Matesh, but they need some "serious upfront cash" first. When Paul leaves, Tomas comments on Paul's connection to Lassiter's and realises why Andrew's so keen to make the business work: "You've got a lot to live up to".
Number 24
Lucas is still searching for the hidden remote, but Sophie has to hand it over when Kate wants to watch a DVD. When Lucas realises his options are watching a chick flick or speaking to Jade, he begrudgingly makes his way over to Number Thirty.
Lassiter's Complex
Andrew strikes a deal on the phone with DJ Matesh's manager, promising them they'll get an upfront fee if they can book her now. Paul eavesdrops and wonders where the cash is coming from, but Andrew says they're going to sell exclusive tickets to the gig online. Impressed with his son's business brain, Paul offers to back Robinson Entertainment. Andrew's stoked.
Charlie's Bar
Andrew bumps into Sophie and chats to her about the dance party. When he catches up with Tomas, some girls approach Sophie and ask for more information about the party, which makes Sophie feel cool. Andrew's good mood evaporates, though, when he hears Tomas on the phone to someone who's going to supply drugs for the party (but in Neighbours' vague G- rated dialogue it's all about people getting a "buzz" - where's Jack 'Crazy Dancer' Scully when you need him?). Tomas asks if Andrew's had any luck with sponsors, but Andrew lies about the Lassiter's deal, unsure about this latest dodgy development.
Lassiter's Complex
Andrew and Tomas sit outside the bar and chat more about the party. Andrew's worried that they'll be in deep if something goes wrong, but Tomas assures him he's been through this before. Andrew is concerned about the risk, but Tomas says without risk there's no reward. If this party goes well they're going to be in business for a long time.
First Commercial Break
Number 30
Jade isn't keen on seeing Lucas, preferring to shut the door in his face instead. Lucas tells her that Kate jumped to her own crazy conclusions, but she feels really bad about it all. Sighing, Jade says she'll go over and talk to Kate if Lucas chats to Mark and sees where his head it at re: Kate. Lucas isn't keen on the idea but Jade says she has a point to prove now.
Garage
Feeling uncomfortable, Lucas offers Mark a beer and tries to get him to chat about Kate (even though he hates conversations about feelings... And conversations in general). When Mark realises that Jade's behind this he's annoyed, but all he'll tell Lucas is that Kate lied to him and he can't get past that.
Charlie's Bar
While Sophie's picking up takeaway she bumps into Andrew and eagerly asks for more info about the dance party. Not willing to get his little cousin in trouble, Andrew pretends that the party is still in the planning stages. But just to make things more awkward, Mark overhears them and offers to get some uniforms to attend to keep the crowd under control. Andrew dashes off to avoid them and Sophie feels embarrassed when the cool girls from earlier realise she doesn't have tickets. Sophie then tries to chat to Mark about Kate, but he gently tells her to give it a rest.
Number 22
Andrew's in a funk about what to do with Tomas and the dance party. He thinks about calling Summer for advice, but knows he can't get her involved.
Second Commercial Break
Number 30
Lucas lets Jade know that it didn't go well with Mark. Jade thinks they should tell Kate that Mark's not interested in her anymore so she can move on, but Lucas thinks that's a terrible idea and doesn't want to deal with her tears. He tells Jade they have to keep this information secret.
Number 24
Sophie tells Kate about her embarrassment over the dance party before and admits it was just nice feeling cool for even a fleeting moment. Lucas brings Jade over and Kate apologises for acting like a crazy jealous person earlier. Sophie says everything was Mark's fault anyway - he just has to get over himself and admit he misses Kate. Lucas and Jade exchange a look, which doesn't go unnoticed by Kate, so Jade ignores Lucas's advice from earlier and tells her the truth about Mark. Kate looks stung but doesn't get upset like Lucas thought, admitting instead that at least now she can get on with her life.
Number 22
Paul hands over the contract to Andrew for the Lassiter's/Robinson Entertainment deal - he had it made up quickly to speed things along. Andrew feels guilty, especially when Paul says that Tomas seems like a decent guy. Sophie drops in to badger Andrew some more about the party. He pretends things are running smoothly, but as soon as Paul leaves, Andrew says he doesn't want Sophie coming. Sophie reminds him it's an all- ages gig, but Andrew says it won't be her scene. Later, once he's alone, Andrew makes a call to Tomas and asks him to come over.
Third Commercial Break
Number 22
Andrew finally tells Tomas that his dad is onboard as a sponsor. Tomas is thrilled and asks him if he's OK with "everything we talked about earlier". Andrew nods and rattles off Tomas's mantra from before - without risk there's no reward. Andrew says he'll handle the party and Tomas can handle everything else. They shake on it.
