Toadie tells Josh that the video footage shows Conrad putting the illegal peptides in Josh's bag, so he is in the clear. Josh is thrilled and hugs Toadie, who tells him to thank Naomi as she's the one who found the footage. Josh asks if anyone else was involved, Toadie doesn't think so and Conrad has gone underground so until they find him there is no way of knowing. Sonya joins them and tells Toadie they have a babysitting crisis and they need to find someone to look after Nell tomorrow. Josh offers to babysit as a thank you for Toadie representing him, but Sonya says Nell doesn't really know him but if he's willing to help Sonya at the Nursery then it means she can get back to Nell quicker. Josh agrees. He gets a text from his dad and heads out to see him.

Kyle and Tyler discuss what Tyler should write for the ad for a new mechanic.
TYLER: How about, hot chick sought to work beside good looking male?
KYLE: Are you looking for an assistant or a date?
TYLER: Why not both?
KYLE: Don't mix business with pleasure. If I knew then what I know now, I never would have hired Amy.
TYLER: Yeah you would've.
KYLE: Yeah I probably would've. But still, working with someone you are attracted to is a recipe for disaster.
TYLER: Hang on, you're attracted to her?
KYLE: No, I'm just... speaking in general.
Paige arrives and Kyle goes back to work. Paige comments that it turns out that Lucas hired Tyler because he's a good mechanic and she's happy for him.

Sonya's Nursery
Josh helps Sonya at work. Sonya and Josh chat about his dancing. Josh hasn't been dancing as much anymore, which is probably for the best if he's going to be a dad as it would be quite awkward at Parent-Teacher meetings if he has given a lap dance to his child's teacher. Sonya thinks that would help, as at Nell's pre-school interviews they had to sit in the tiny pre-school chairs and it made them feel like they had been sent to the principal's office. Josh admires how well they are coping, Nell seems happy and content. As Sonya brushes her arm against a plant she pulls it back in pain, thinking she must have pricked herself on one of the leaves. She says it's fine though, just an occupational hazard.

After Nell doesn't respond, Paige says that her mum has packed a boring lunch and she'll have to eat before naptime. Paige then shows Nell the instructions that Sonya wrote to show her what she said. Paige then decides to give Nell some chocolate biscuits and some apple juice. She puts the biscuits in front of Nell, who starts to eat them.
PAIGE: Your folks are lucky that I'm a natural at this.

Sonya wants to go and collect Nell from Paige's, but Sheila says to leave Nell with Paige and get her wrist looked at. Sheila says she'll check in on her after work, no arguments.
As Sonya leaves, Terese arrives and asks to borrow some empty boxes as she's moving house. Sheila says it isn't very fair, and some people think it should be Lauren who leaves. Sheila says Terese will be missed on the street, she knows she'll see her at work but it isn't the same as being neighbours. Terese gets a text from Brad who wants to see her. She guesses Brad is just annoyed that he has to spend his school holiday packing boxes.
Number 22
Josh tells Amber that they know Paul set him up but there is nothing they can pin on him. Josh then tells Amber he knows that Brad is moving in with the Turners. He asks how Amber feels about it, and if it is awkward that it is happening so soon after her dad died. Amber says it is, but they've already crossed that line. It's also good for Paige to have both her parents under the same roof. Amber asks how Imogen and Piper feel. Josh says he'll talk to them, and he doesn't want them all to turn on each other just because their dad is staying with her mum. Amber goes back to studying and Josh turns to see Terese has overheard the conversation.

LAUREN: Terese you have to und...
TERESE: Don't you try to explain.
BRAD: What she's trying to say is I'll be there as a friend for a week at most.
LAUREN: Yeah just until he finds a decent place to live.
TERESE: He HAD a decent place to live!
JOSH: I guess there's not a lot more to say.
TERESE: There's a hell of a lot more to say.
Josh leads Terese away to pack. Terese stops for a moment.
TERESE: No, not pack. Unpack, we're staying. And I hope looking into my eyes every day doesn't take the shine off.
Number 32
Susan tells Paige that Nell is asleep. Paige wonders how Susan did it, bribery, threats? Susan read Nell a story, she was exhausted and needed a distraction.

Paige wanted to be a fantastic auntie for Amber's sake, Susan is sure she will be. Paige notes that her family is getting closer but Amber's family is falling apart. Susan says that kids thrive on love and they'll have plenty of that.
SUSAN: You can be the cool auntie, and by that time you'll have had tons of experience.
PAIGE: I can tell her about boys. I can teach her how to box. I can tell her how to get out of trouble with the police.
SUSAN: Or, how to stay out of trouble.
PAIGE: Yeah I'm going to be a great auntie. BRING ON THE ADOLESCENCE!
SUSAN (to avoid waking Nell): Ssshh!
