LIBBY: No, I guess not.

Karl says that Libby would be devastated to hear that Ben was sacrificing his happiness for hers. Karl promises not to say anything, but encourages Ben to talk to Libby about it. He says he can't, so Karl suggests there may be other possibilities.
KARL: Surely there's a solution that makes you both happy.

She apologises for talking too much, and Daniel apologises for questioning her, saying she's probably already talked about it with Josh. She looks uncomfortable, and says no.

NAOMI: Great, sensational! Shall we knock someone off the perch soon, then?
Nursery
Amber gets a text saying that Imogen and Josh have passed their tests. Daniel asks if she wishes she was there, and she says she makes Josh nervous. Daniel asks what they are doing.
DANIEL: We said we wouldn't hang out anymore, but we do anyway and we both know that we nearly kissed before. You have a boyfriend and he's a really nice guy. This is wrong.
AMBER: You think I don't know that?
Amber says that this is all she thinks about, and it's driving her crazy. Daniel leaves to go to the darkroom.
No 28

Waterhole
Imogen is sending a photo of her driving licence to some bloke that she's not that interested in (how random) and asks Amber why she's not out with Josh. Sheila wanders over, and comments that she thought Amber had an assignment, otherwise she didn't think Amber would have missed the chance to go for a first drive with Josh... Sheila puts a menu card with Daniel's picture on the table. Amber looks uncomfortable
Ramsay Street
Ben and Libby are leaving. Ben gives Susan a story he has written: "The Space Father Left". He says it was either that, or "The Principal Who Chucked A Sickie".
