Lucy frowns, but Paul says that's his side of the story.

He points out that Jacob is grieving and probably needs professional help, and Sonya is not a trained counsellor. She says he saw an counsellor, and prefers to talk to her.

SONYA: All we do is talk about babies, and I listen.

Toadie is still worried, but Sonya promises she'll say something if it gets her down. She thanks him for caring and they kiss.

Josh tries to explain that he didn't kiss Ruby.

JOSH: I was the kissee.

She wants to know how long it lasted. He says a few seconds, and insists that he tried to stop it. Besides he was upset, and didn't know they were going to get back together.

AMBER: But we did! And it was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me.
JOSH: Yeah, me too!
AMBER: Really? Cos I can't see how that's possible when you were kissing someone else only hours beforehand.

Terese and Lucy are a table and Paul turns up for the "intervention". Lucy says it's a casual meeting to sort things out. Paul asks Terese if she was aware of the targets when she took the job.

TERESE: This is not about targets, Paul. This is about your whole attitude to me.

She points out that because of her attitude towards his sexual harassment, association with Marty Kranic and questionable campaign tactics, he's making her life hell. Paul acts innocent and asks Lucy if she's going to believe him or Terese.

LUCY: This rings all too true. I'm pulling rank.

Lucy tells him if he wants Terese to remain as manager, he must adjust her impossible targets and stop making her life hell. The alternative is that she will cut the hotel out of the Lassiters chain. Paul can't believe she's serious.
