Paul sees Andrew and comes over and tells him that the insurance company will pay out on the car. He'll throw in some extra too so that Andrew can get a decent car. Andrew is surprised, and Paul produces a cheque for $5,000! Andrew is chuffed.
Susan comes in and tells Paul that there's no retraction in the paper. He says there won't be one - he's agreed to pay for the repairs to Tash's house, so as far as he's concerned, it's job done(!) Ajay will just have to look after himself. Susan protests that Paul set Ajay up and won't let it all just fade away. If Paul doesn't sort things out, she'll go public with what she knows.

Paul comes in and asks Summer why she's "bleating about a broken heart" on the paper's Twitter feed. Summer realises to her horror that she's posted on the paper's account rather than her own! She frantically opens her laptop, apologising profusely. Paul is more concerned that Summer and Andrew have split up. He asks her if it's serious. She says it is.
PAUL:(gently) Just...try to be more careful in future, eh?
SUMMER: I will, I'm sorry.
He goes into his office.

Summer is writing a piece about Tash's party when Susan comes in. Summer tells her that she's found out a Conrad Jackson Facebook profile that's suspicious. Susan says as long as the piece is about defending social media, that's fine. She looks a bit worried, though.

Chris and Andrew have narrowed down the cars to just one. Aidan comes back. Chris awkwardly tells Andrew that he can't come for a test drive, as he and Aidan have arranged to go on a picnic. Andrew suddenly realises he's trashed their afternoon and apologises. He heads off.
Charlie's
Susan tells Paul that it's his last chance to print a retraction. She's written an article exposing Paul which she'll go public with - in the West Waratah Star!
(Later)
Paul is still protesting to Susan, but she is unmoved - Ajay has done nothing to deserve the way Paul has pursued him. Summer comes in and says she wants to get back to the Conrad Jackson article. Paul puts her off with another story.
When Summer has gone, Paul tells Susan that if she prints the article, he'll sack Summer.
SUSAN: Even your wouldn't stoop that low.
PAUL: Try me. You publish that article and I'm going to make sure she's out on her ear and that nobody else will touch her! Your choice.
