As they leave the house, Sonya fills Toadie in on Lucas's decision to cancel his wedding to Vanessa. Callum sits on the wall, looking glum. While Sonya goes off to speak to Vanessa, Toadie sits next to Callum and asks when he'll find out whether he got the part in the play. Cal says Rani just texted him; she wants to meet up and talk. Realising he's not worried about the play, Toadie asks how things are with Rani. Cal's not enthusiastic, so Toadie suggests he needs a big romantic gesture which will make Rani take notice of him - and promises to help him arrange something.

Kyle and Georgia are relaxing in the hot tub together; they raise a toast to everything going back to normal. Georgia thanks Kyle again for his support, and tells him she's meeting her nursing manager Carol later, to discuss going back to work. The pair kiss, and Bossy pops up to watch! But as things look to be getting steamy, Georgia gets cold feet. Kyle assures her no- one will be back for ages, but nonetheless she makes excuses and runs off, telling Kyle she'll see him later.

Georgia admits to Kate that she thought she was 'ready', but that she freaked out - it's nothing to do with Kyle, but she's never been with anyone other than Scotty. Kate reminds Georgia that Kyle is going to treat her better than Scotty did, but Georgia's worried Kyle will realise she wasn't worth the wait. Kate tells Georgia any guy would kill to go out with her, and promises things will be okay.

Lucas and Vanessa's Flat
Sonya and Vanessa have a chinwag. Vanessa knows she should have told Lucas about being married to Alek, but she thinks calling off the wedding was a bit extreme.

It's Parallel Conversation™ time, as Lucas confides in Toadie. He says he's given Vanessa everything he could, and now she drops this bombshell on him. Toadie points out that Vanessa was fairly young when she married Alek, but Lucas still doesn't know why she kept it from him. Toadie suggests it might be because of her family, leading Lucas to speculate that she must have thought about it when they almost got married last year.

Lucas and Vanessa's Flat
Vanessa tells Sonya she thinks Lucas has been looking for an excuse to end their relationship, so he can go and be with Steph. Sonya isn't convinced, but Vanessa reminds her Lucas was willing to run away with Steph before she went inside.

Charlie's
Lucas tells Toadie that Vanessa said Alek was the reason she couldn't go through with her sham wedding to Lucas. He has surmised this is because she was totally in love with Alek and devastated when it ended, and couldn't bear to revisit matrimony as a result.

Lucas and Vanessa's Flat
Vanessa speculates that Steph's return has reignited old feelings in Lucas, and Sonya admits that it's strange all this has happened since Steph came back. Vanessa thinks Steph's trying to win Lucas back, but Sonya still thinks they may be reading too much into it.

Charlie's
Lucas is worried that his relationship with Vanessa came not through burning desire but friendship - but Toadie says some of the best relationships start that way. He then gives the example of Lucas and Steph, which puts Lucas on edge!

Lucas and Vanessa's Flat
Vanessa says she doesn't know if she can compete with Steph for Lucas's love - but Sonya insists Lucas loves Vanessa and Patrick very much, and tells her to trust in that. In time, Sonya claims, Lucas will realise that cancelling the wedding was a big mistake.

Carol Crane tells Georgia how terrible she feels about jumping to conclusions regarding the missing drugs. She says the incident will be wiped from Georgia's record, and that she'll get back- pay for her suspension. Meanwhile, 'the appropriate authorities' are dealing with Tina.

Carol has another reason for meeting Georgia, however; she encourages her to apply for an emergency course she was interested in, and says she'd be happy to put in a good word. It could result in Georgia working overseas. Georgia says she's always wanted to do that, and thanks Carol for the opportunity.

Harold's Store
Georgia relays the news about the emergency course to Kyle, explaining it's always been a long- term goal of hers to work overseas. Georgia says if she got accepted, it would be at least a year before she left, but Kyle seems a little annoyed that yet another girlfriend could be jetting off without him. He goes on to ask her why she leapt out of the hot tub so quickly earlier, but Georgia just makes excuses again. Kyle says she can tell him if anything's wrong, but Georgia insists everything's fine. Kyle looks sad as he contemplates the prospect of Georgia leaving.

Sonya is concerned to see that Steph is riding Lucas's bike, and it's the last straw.

SONYA: You know, I'm just going to say it. You're overstepping the line, Steph.
STEPH: Erm, okay?! Besides borrowing a friend's bike, what have I done that's so horribly wrong?
SONYA: I'm talking about Lucas and Vanessa's relationship.
STEPH: I haven't done anything!
SONYA: Are you sure? Because since you've been back it feels like nothing's the same. You know, Lucas has moved on; he's engaged to Vanessa; they have a child together. And I think that you need to try harder to respect the boundaries.
STEPH: If Lucas and Vanessa are having problems it's got nothing to do with me.
SONYA: Oh really? Then -
STEPH: And frankly, after everything we've been through, it's a real shame you and I can't manage to be friends.

Sonya is silent as Steph gets on the bike and prepares to ride off.

Harold's Store
Karl has heard the news about Georgia applying for the course, and gushes to Kyle about it. Kyle pretends to be happy too, then asks Karl what chance Georgia has of being accepted. Karl thinks she has a very good chance, particularly with Carol vouching for her. Kyle asks how long the overseas posts tend to last, and Karl says he's known people who never came home! Kyle looks worried, and Karl thinks he's nervous that Georgia won't get the post - so does his best to assure him otherwise!

Lassiter's Lake
Rani tries to talk to Callum about the play, but he's too busy leading her towards his big romantic gesture.

CALLUM: You are amazing, okay? And awesome.

He tugs at a rope which he's rigged up under the gazebo, but nothing happens, forcing him to extend his repertoire of compliments.

CALLUM: And I've never met a girl who's as beautiful, or as funny, or as smart...

He pulls the rope again, to no avail.

CALLUM: Or who's been such a good director...
RANI: You're making me blush.
CALLUM: Well that's good, because blushing is the colour of... (tugs on rope)
RANI: What are you doing?
CALLUM: Great. I knew this would happen.

The rope finally gives, and Callum and Rani are showered with rose petals - most of which land up in Cal's mouth! Happily he has another surprise - a romantic picnic, which unfortunately is swarming with ants! Cal curses himself for taking Toadie's advice, but Rani kisses him on the cheek.

RANI: I think that it's really lovely. Even with the ants. Thank you.

However, she has bad news about the play; he hasn't got the part of Fictional Rani's true love Raj, which she's given to Bailey instead. Callum, however, will play Sanjay - the spurned fiancé! Cal is gutted, but makes out he's fine.

Steph turns up at the garage, and tells Lucas that Sonya had a go at her, accusing her of trying to come between Lucas and Vanessa.

STEPH: You don't believe that, do you?
LUCAS: No - no.
STEPH: I mean, I didn't even know you guys were having trouble until Sonya told me.
LUCAS: She said that?

Annoyed with Sonya, Lucas admits to Steph that he's called off his wedding to Vanessa - but reassures Steph it has nothing to do with her. Lucas promises to have words with Sonya, and hugs Steph, who is acting very upset at what Sonya said. Unfortunately, Vanessa is heading towards the garage with Patrick, and sees the pair hugging through the window. Afraid her suspicions have been confirmed, she runs off with the pram.

Lucas and Vanessa's Flat
Lucas comes in to find Vanessa packing clothes into a suitcase. She explains she and Patrick are going to stay with her mum.

VANESSA: You don't want to marry me, what do you want me to do? Stick around and suck it up?
LUCAS: No... Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe we do need some time apart.

Vanessa takes off her wedding ring.

VANESSA: Yeah. I thought you'd say that.

She marches out of the door with her suitcase.

Kyle has invited Georgia around for a barbecue, so they can talk about the overseas nursing course. She says she's just finished her online application. Clocking that Kyle's worried about it, Georgia asks him, if they're still together by the time she goes, whether he'd want to go with her overseas. He says he can't, because of the business, but doesn't want to stop Georgia doing what she wants. Georgia is disappointed, but Kyle says he can't do another long- distance relationship after what happened with Jade.

KYLE: So now I'm worried... if we get into this... it'll just make it harder when you leave.
GEORGIA: Maybe it's best I just don't apply?
KYLE: Come on, don't be ridiculous.
GEORGIA: I don't want to stop us enjoying what we have now.
KYLE: I don't want to hold you back.
GEORGIA: Look - I just got swept up in the idea. I don't want to lose this!
KYLE: Really?... I feel the same way. I don't want to lose you.

They hold hands, and kiss, before disappearing inside the house.

Charlie's
Callum and Toadie are drowning their sorrows with cola and beer respectively. Cal laments his failure to land the part of Raj, but Toadie points out he still has a good role in the play - and that unexpected twists like this can help make relationships stronger. Cal admits that the rose petals and picnic did seem to go down well, despite their flaws.

Kyle and Georgia come in looking happy. While Kyle gets drinks, Georgia heads straight over to Kate for a gossip.

KATE: Wow! You two look very loved- up! What have you been doing?
GEORGIA: Just talking.
KATE: Must have been some talk!
GEORGIA: We might have also... Taken Things To The Next Level™.

Kate is suitably impressed. Georgia says it was wonderful, but that she's worried it's not going to last - Kyle's too good for her, and she's going to get her heart broken..

Meanwhile, Kyle talks to the new barmaid Megan, who complains about Sheila being her boss, before Kyle reveals Sheila's his gran! Seeing them chatting, Georgia looks worried, despite Kate telling her that her self- esteem's probably just taken a knock because of Scotty, and that she and Kyle are meant for one another. Georgia agrees, but when Kyle smiles over at her, she looks far from convinced.

Lucas and Vanessa's Flat
Lucas is watching the racing when Steph turns up - he texted her to tell her Vanessa had left, and Steph thought he could do with some company. She's also brought some beers, and offers to cook him some steak. They crack open a beer.

STEPH: It's just like old times.

She smiles, glancing at Lucas.
