Blaze outreach
Paige quickly comes round and reassures her dad/Jack that she is okay but suggests a trip to the hospital if it will help reassure them. Brad isn't amused at Jack wanting to accompany her, he thinks he's done enough already and orders him not to let Paige box again at Blaze before accompanying her to the hospital.
Cue titles!
Power Street
Charlie and Jimmy are chatting away on the way home from school when Archie stops them to comment to Jimmy about his mum but Charlie comes in to help his friend and asks back how Archie's mum is! Jimmy isn't too pleased at Charlie jumping in to defend him, thinking he's just made things worse.
Harold's Café
Lauren is relieved to see her daughter after Paige arrives back with a clean bill of health after her check up at the hospital. She isn't happy though when Lauren demands she doesn't box again (she's discussed it with Brad) but Paige isn't listening and plans to continue with the sport.
Tyler arrives and seems chuffed for Paige after she explains how she injured her face (there's a little cut on her cheek). She's still in a bit of pain from the injury so they head into the kitchen to get some ice.
Number 22
Terese has summoned Brad to discuss with him the financial arrangements for their separation and he seems somewhat stunned at how generous Terese is being over it. She explains that since he took care of the kids (when they were little) as she was building her career, he deserves a generous settlement. "I didn't do it for a reward," he comments and wants to study the document before signing it. Terese would rather he did so now but won't explain to him just yet why.
Harold's Café
Tyler now seems to be the only one in pain through holding the frozen peas against Paige's cheek! Jack comes by to check on how she is and to apologise (he felt the need to) but she doesn't want his apologies, she was the one who let her guard down. With Brad's words still ringing in his ear, Jack tries to get her to stop boxing but she isn't listening to his rationale especially since it's her equipment they are using.
Robinsons
Lucy tries to warn Paul off celebrating his re-purchase of Lassiters prematurely until the contracts are drawn up (she's just waiting for approval from the board). He isn't really listening and wants to make plans but after a call Lucy receives he'll have to do just that as she tells him that a rival bid has been submitted.
PAUL: Who could possibly compete against a former owner hey?!
LUCY: Terese Willis!
Cue smile wiped off Paul's face as we head into the commercial break!!!
Number 22
Paul is round to remonstrate with Terese but she isn't listening and explains to him (and Lucy) that with the aid of the great work Madison has done, she is heading a consortium of investors (with plans to have a small stake herself) and given her work in the industry, they trust her to look after their investment. Paul is furious at the fact a non-Robinson could even contemplate buying the hotel but Lucy points out that Terese has history with the franchise. Lucy then sends him packing so that she can hear Terese's proposal.
Road somewhere
Archie ups the stakes by sending Jimmy a defamatory text about Amy and the lad is at a loss as to why Archie is doing that. Charlie tells him what he did to Archie after he defamed Steph but Jimmy just wants to forget about the whole thing including telling his mum (who is still upset over the whole thing) as he feels guilty that it's all his fault because she was earning money to look after him. Charlie doesn't want to let it rest and in the end, Jimmy orders him not to come over any more. "Hey, I was just trying to help a mate," Charlie appeals to him.
Harold's Café
Lucy tells Lauren of the quandary she is in over who should get Lassiters. While she feels should help her brother, especially after the false imprisonment, she can't but be reminded over how he lost the hotel in the first place. Equally, she thinks that Terese is more than deserving given she's worked her way up through the ranks although there is the issue of the suspended sentence hanging over her. "What does your gut say?" Lauren asks and Lucy replies that she doesn't know and admits that she is having trouble re-focusing after being on maternity leave, so Lauren suggests that she treats them both as strangers and makes a decision that way.
Blaze outreach
Paige is round to beg Jack to teach her how to box and he initially refuses to but Paige eventually wears him down so he agrees to teach her.
Ramsay Street
Tyler passes on some stuff to Madison for Piper. She asks him if he/Paige are a couple and his reply is that they are simply friends. "Good!" Madison comments and explains that Piper was cut up. Tyler has heard that but explains his frustration that he's not allowed to be with Piper nor any random hook ups. Madison suggests that he could have broadened his horizons to someone beyond her sister. He gets that, conceding that it was stupid and hears that Piper admits that she pushed him away. Tyler has had enough talking and tells her if everyone thinks he's the bad guy then he'll just live with it.
Outside Grease Monkeys
Charlie approaches Archie to ask him to lay off Jimmy but he refuses to because its fun. He then tries to see how Archie would feel if he was the one getting hassle because of what his mum did to the hotel? Rather than answer him, Archie, with the aid of his silent groupies, carries and then throws Charlie into an industrial dumpster before padlocking him in.
"This isn't funny Archie!" he yells but they've run off and to make things worse for the lad, he can't summon help either as his mobile phone is lying on the ground outside.
Number 22
Lucy has made her decision and it's Terese who is the successful bidder. Paul is absolutely furious and Lucy doesn't think his motivation was right either; Terese's concern for buying the hotel was more sincere.
Lucy wants Terese to come with her to New York to sign the contract but she doesn't want to go, so she can stay and support Piper. This gives Paul ammunition that Terese isn't suitable but they come up with plan B - Madison will head to New York as her representative, accompanied with their lawyer, and conclude the deal via Skype.
Blaze outreach
Jack is teaching Paige boxing when they inadvertently end up on the floor. "Did I hurt you?" she asks before looking gazingly into Jack's eyes and after a moment he suggests she leaves.
(Later)
Jack decides a chat with the man upstairs is in order - he's still in a quandary over his calling/his feelings for Paige.
JACK: I know nothing can ever happen between us and that I have no right in stopping her from finding happiness with someone else but I'm just terrified of losing her.
Garage
Tyler receives a late night visitor - Paige who doesn't even say hello to him, simply pashes him!!! "What happened to let's be friends?" Tyler asks buy her reply is very simply - does he want this or not, so he rushes to close the door so they can get a bit of privacy!
The Waterhole
Sheila is relived at the decision Lucy has made, even if Paul will be a grump for a while! Lucy explains she is heading back to New York with Madison in tow and is told not to worry too much about Paul.
Lucy is fearful of leaving with the mess Amy is in but she explains that things are blowing up quicker than she expected and Jimmy spent a good day with Charlie too. It then dawns on Amy that Charlie isn't with him and Jimmy says he decided not to spend the night with him as he'd other stuff to do.
Outside Grease Monkeys
Charlie bangs on the dumpster and screams for help but there is nobody around.
