The Waterhole
Lyn says that Paul's done some pretty low things in the past but this is lower than any of them. Paul wants to explain. Steph wants to know what excuse Paul could have for fleecing an old man with Alzheimer's. Paul says he presented Doug with a business proposition and Doug accepted. Paul says that Doug is capable of making up his own mind. Lyn doesn't believe it so Josh says they should go and ask Doug himself. Paul says that Doug will confirm what Paul has said. Lyn says that Steph must be rethinking the deal. Steph doesn't know what to think and leaves with Josh. Lyn delightedly tells Paul he can kiss his motel goodbye.

No.32 Backyard
Doug is resting on a sun lounger as Brad is cleaning the pool. Brad suggests that Doug goes for a swim. Doug doesn't answer so Brad realises he is asleep. Josh arrives with Steph and asks if Brad knows about Doug making a business investment. This is the first Brad has heard about it.
STEPH: Paul says your Dad wanted to invest in his motel, but my Mum's saying he's conned him.
Paul arrives and claims it's a legitimate business agreement. Brad says Doug is in no fit state to make that kind of decision. Paul points out Doug seemed fine when he signed the cheque. Brad is confused about the cheque so Josh hands the cheque to him. Brad says there's no way Doug can afford $20,000. Paul is going to wake Doug and check with him. Brad refuses to let Paul do that so Paul will take the cheque and leave. Brad rips up the cheque as he refuses to let Paul have Doug's money. Paul says Brad has no right to do that. Brad says it's his right as Doug's son to protect Doug from Paul. Paul wryly comments that Doug is spending Brad's inheritance. Josh steps in to tell Paul it's time to go. Steph tells Paul he's also lost his main investor. Paul sighs and walks off.
Lassiter's Reception
Terese walks into Reception as Daniel is behind the desk. He tells Terese that there is something strange going on. He tells Terese that Imogen found out that the contractor Amanda is actually an engineer. Amanda made Daniel put some boxes into the storeroom the other day. Terese points out that isn't unusual. Daniel says that Amanda told him that no-one was allowed in there from now on under Julie Quill's orders. Amanda wouldn't say what was in the boxes and Daniel knew if Terese e knew. Terese doesn't know but doesn't think it will be hard to find out.
Julie arrives and Daniel welcomes her back. Terese says they weren't expecting her until tomorrow and Julie says she likes tor surprise. Julie would like a meeting with Terese away from the complex.

No.26
Imogen is working on her laptop as she, Xanthe and Piper are sitting at the kitchen table. Xanthe checks if Imogen minds doing this but Imogen doesn't mind. Piper says Imogen will be able to help. Imogen says she's not an expert on parole but they'll go through all the legalities and find the best way to formally challenge. Xanthe thanks her and Imogen is happy to learn a new area.
Kyle and Sheila arrive home. Sheila hopes they're not getting Imogen to do their homework. Xanthe announces Imogen's helping out with Gary's parole. Sheila doesn't think there's much they can do about that. Imogen says there'll definitely be a way to challenge the board, they just have to figure out the best way. Sheila wishes them good luck. Xanthe says they'll find a way to get Gary home.
No.22
Julie tells Terese that this meeting is strictly confidential and Terese agrees. Julie needs Terese to draw up a list of all the leases they have on the complex, who lets what and how long the leases have left. Terese agrees and asks why it is needed. Julie can't give Terese any further information at this stage. Terese asks if it is linked to the new contractor. Julie says it's one thing at a time and would like an update on what has been happening here.

TERESE: He used to own the place, thinks he can swan in whenever he likes.
Paul now gets the text message from Daniel telling him to avoid No.22.

Xanthe says the stuff that happened between Kyle and Gary can't get between them, Gary is their father. Xanthe wants to know why Kyle is being so weird and demands to know what is going on. Kyle tells Xanthe that Gary sabotaged his own parole by getting into a fight with an inmate. Xanthe asks why he did that and Kyle doesn't answer.

No.22
Terese tells Julie that she's compiled all the information on the contracts into one document. Terese suggests that Julie tells her what it's for then she could explain the particulars. Julie says she will in due course. Terese hopes Julie isn't doubting her loyalty to Quill. Terese occasionally bumps into Paul but she has nothing to do with him professionally. Julie says Terese should thank her lucky stars as she can't imagine how Terese managed to work under that witch for so long, Paul is a pig. Terese knows something happened between Paul and Julie.
JULIE: Paul and I met many years ago at a conference. He sweet talked me into bed and once he'd had his way he kicked me out.
TERESE: Wow. That's awful.
JULIE: He claimed he had an early morning meeting. Then I saw him in the foyer the next morning. He had another woman on his arm. When he noticed me he had the audacity to wave...
Julie excuses herself as she takes another call. Paul arrives and urgently indicates Terese to come outside. She does and wonders if he's trying to get her fired. Paul wants Terese to keep Julie talking so he can nip up the stairs. She tells him he needs to stay somewhere else tonight as Julie's staying for dinner. He says he'll be out in the cold as he hasn't any money. Terese reminds him that Julie was in the same situation a few years ago. Julie comes back so Terese gets Paul to leave.

Brad needs to talk to Doug about something that happened earlier. Paul says that Doug gave him £20,000 to invest in his motel. Brad says Paul must have conned it out of Doug when Doug wasn't feeling well but Brad has torn up the cheque. Doug says Brad has no right to do that.

DOUG: You have no idea what it's like to be me. Losing control of your entire life. This is something I can hold onto even if it's just for a short time.
Brad doesn't think Doug realises what Paul's like. Doug says he does and he just wanted to make one decision all by himself. They couldn't even let him do that.
Lassiter's Complex
It is now the next morning. Sheila asks Kyle on the phone if he's heard from Xanthe as she didn't turn up for school this morning. Sheila says she wouldn't be calling if she knew where Xanthe was.

She tells him to look where he's going and he asks if the vest isn't bright enough! Sheila wants to know why he's wearing suit pants. Paul says he hasn't had a chance to change since yesterday. Sheila says she was thinking it was the rubbish that smelt!
Terese arrives and says Paul looks less than presentable. Paul points out he spent the night in the Men's She and Terese says he deserved it.

Julie heard that he's opening a motel. Paul says it's a boutique motel. Julie says he shouldn't waste his time as Lassiter's has the monopoly in this area.

Julie comments Daniel is a wonderful employee and very dedicated.

Josh reminds Doug that they're fine and Doug doesn't need to give them his life savings. Doug says he wants to do it. Imogen appears and Doug asks Imogen if Brad can stop him doing this. Imogen says Brad has power of attorney which means he can step in especially if Brad can prove Doug isn't sound of mind.
Brad arrives and says he just wants to talk. Doug announces that he's going to talk and they're going to listen. Brad agrees. Doug understands why they want to protect him.

No.26
Xanthe and Piper are standing by the sink. Xanthe tells Piper that Gary didn't have the guts to tell her himself. Sheila and Kyle also lied about it. Piper points out they might be trying to protect her. Xanthe says she isn't a little kid and doesn't need protecting. It's ok as everyone usually gives up on her anyway. Piper doesn't think it's true but her Mum gave up on her and her Dad doesn't care. Sheila and Kyle will eventually do the same.
Sheila and Kyle arrive and say they have a surprise. Sheila was going to wrap it but she didn't have enough paper. Kyle presents a tuba.

Piper is amazed Xanthe can play it and Xanthe says she started to learn it at school. Xanthe thanks Sheila and Sheila suggests she tries it. Piper and Xanthe say they need to go so they'll try it later. As they head out the door Piper points out they don't want to get rid of Xanthe if they're getting her a tuba.

She won't be here any longer than necessary.
Lassiter's Hotel

Outside Erins Burrow
Steph and Paul arrive and Steph says it's a dump. Steph asks Paul if he thinks there's room for the motel and Lassiter's. Paul says he knows there is. The overflow will come here when Lassiter's is full.
Julie says she hates turning business away. They are planning a second hotel on the other side of the complex. The model she produces is put over the space for Harold's Café and Rebecchi Law. Terese confirms that this is on the complex. Julie says this will ensure this is the number one hotel on this side of the city. Their competitors won't stand a chance.
Paul says there's nothing he doesn't know about the local market. Steph points out this won't be cheap to do up. Paul says the building is very sound but it needs a cosmetic touch-up. He's done his sums so there'll be no surprises.
Terese asks about all the businesses. Julie says it makes financial sense to terminate those leases and demolish the buildings. Terese checks if they will able to fill all the rooms. Julie says they will when they slash their prices.
Paul says they'll be the low budget alternative and they step forward to take a closer look at the motel.
