Apparently Emmett is fine, so Aaron is free to take Fay out. He suggests they take Chloe's 4 wheel drive to the lake and pop in to the Waterhole too.

When they've gone, Nicolette says she'll take a few hours off too if Fay's going out, pointedly saying to Pierce, "if it's allowed".

When she's gone, Pierce speaks up.

PIERCE: I don't think Nicolette's the right fit for us.
CHLOE:(surprised) ...

Harold's Café
Nicolette is sitting at a table looking furious. Jane sees her and goes over.

NICOLETTE: I had a run in with Pierce.
JANE: Oh, Nicolette, what have you done?
NICOLETTE: Wow. It was his fault actually, but well done on winning the Most Predictable Mother award(!)
JANE: Well, I'll match you for Most Predictable Daughter award! One for speaking without thinking and upsetting someone as per usual, I'm sure. No...I'm sorry, I take that back. Let me try again. What happened with Pierce?
NICOLETTE: We had a disagreement.
JANE: About the job.
NICOLETTE: Yes...and no...I completely stand by what I said but...I might have let my feelings get in the way. You were right...I may not have been 100% professional in the way that I expressed myself, but if I'd known that this job was going to come with a hovering He-man questioning my every judgement every five minutes then I wouldn't have taken it! I should just move back to Canberra.
JANE: Oh, no, no, no, don't, that's rather extreme. I mean, may I suggest you just wait until everyone calms down and simply focus on the job and try to put your personal feelings about the situation to one side.

BEA: This wouldn't be such a big deal if you just told your family and you wouldn't be sneaking around and getting me to do your dirty work.

Levi just makes excuses. Bea rolls her eyes when she hears the pharmacy is in Patterson Hills.

BEA: You owe me. Big time.

Waterhole
Fay is telling Sheila that Tyler and Piper will have so much fun in LA. She is glad for them to have a break after spending so long looking after her - she hates being a burden.

Ned is very pleased - he's got the contract!

Paul tells Terese that they need to get their relationship back on track and he doesn't want her going to LA to get away from him.
