Naomi's laptop is open, so Sheila decides to take a look and it's open at an art dealer's page. Naomi accuses her of snooping, and Sheila retorts that Naomi won't tell her anything. She asks about the page.

NAOMI: I have a Renoir stashed under the bed. I'm looking for a buyer.
SHEILA: And you wonder why I snoop.

Naomi claims she's looking for a job in an art gallery, then she makes a disparaging remark about Sheila's tracksuit. Sheila explains she's going to Self Defence classes, and invites Naomi. Susan arrives - she's going as well - and is introduced. Susan tells her that it's easy to pick up, and demonstrates some moves, but Naomi passes.

CALLUM: There's got to be a way we can reach more people.
BAILEY: We?

Lauren is annoyed that Brad would ask Matt to risk his career. Matt says that he won't do it, but he suggests they could hire a private investigator. He points out the downside: that it would be expensive. Lauren says they are not paying rent, and Brad would probably be willing to share the cost.

Chris tells Sheila how he's worried about his mum. She sends him out for some parsley. Naomi walks in and Sheila asks her how the job hunting is going - not well, as the jobs are too junior or they don't pay enough. Sheila suggests she ask her boss in Sydney to recommend her for something. Naomi says she doesn't feel comfortable doing that.

SHEILA: Since when were you so shy. You're the pushiest person I know.
NAOMI: No. You're the pushiest person you know.

Sheila asks her to cover for a casual worker at Charlie's but Naomi says no, and walks out. There's a SIM card in the bin, so Sheila fishes it out. She's just putting it in a phone when Naomi comes in and insists that she gives it back. Sheila accuses her of having an affair with a married gallery owner. Naomi says she doesn't know what she's talking about. Falling in love expends too much emotional energy, and financial security is the important thing. Sheila wonders if money is all she wants from the reunion.

NAOMI: So if you can dig up five hundred bucks by the time I get back, you'll never have to see me again.

Both woman are upset.
