- Wendy asking Andrew to work on who he is while she is away.
- Sadie wanting to move in long term to #32.
- Leo happy to be making a profit again, especially with a high income function.
- Leo telling Krista about the plans for a forthcoming birthday party event.
- Aaron turning down being Cara/Remi's sperm donor.
- Cara busy with maintenance work at Lassiters.
- Cara falling off the ladder while doing said maintenance work.
- Remi freaked out by Cara's injuries when she's taking into the hospital.
Hospital
Remi issues urgent instructions to the staff for treating Cara and then updates Dr Hart on how bad the injuries are - potential perforation to several of her organs alongside a possible head injury. Given the emotional state Remi is in, alongside the fact Cara is her wife, Dr Hart takes control of the situation.
Krista's office
Krista is finding out what happened from Holly, however Holly would rather be at the hospital until it is pointed out that Cara is undergoing surgery (Krista called for an update) and she'll need to wait until the next day to visit.
Holly swaps places with Leo and he's not had a good night either - the organiser of the birthday event has done a runner!
Hospital
Remi sits patiently waiting for an update.
Ramsay Street (next day)
Aaron arrives home after his run to find the card from Cara (and Remi) waiting and he seems fair taken with what is written inside.
Andrew then approaches him to see if he's heard about the accident (he hasn't) and so goes on to tell him.
Lassiters Complex
Holly confirms to Krista that she didn't get much rest but is fine and as the pair leave for the hospital, they run into Andrew/Sadie. Andrew has talked to Remi but didn't say too much as she is shattered. This lack of news has Holly concerned, but is reassured that Remi is simply focusing on Cara. We hear the boys don't know yet what has happened as both are still on their camping trip.
Hospital
Dr Hart arrives to update Remi - Cara is in recovery and we hear there were injuries to most of her internal organs, hence why the surgery was lengthy. Remi is shocked to hear that Cara flatlined but was quickly brought back. Stevie delivers some positive news - Cara hasn't suffered any brain injuries related to the accident. Naturally, Remi wants to see Cara but is told she will need to wait a bit until they finish tidying her up.
Number 24
As Nicolette calls by to drop one of Isla's teddies off that was left behind at #32, she spots the card sent to Aaron, but unlike him, she isn't impressed with what was written!
Harolds café
Nicolette is on the hunt for Aaron but Leo hasn't seen him and ends up hearing why she is after him. She is on her high horse about the contents and eventually Leo tells her to pipe down and why - at least she looks shocked on hearing about Cara. Leo also adds that she might not know the full story about Aaron/them either.
Hospital
The staff finish with Cara as Remi enters the room. She takes a seat next to her wife before picking up her hand and starts talking to her.
REMI: You have to get through this. I can't do it without you.
Out in the corroder, Krista and Holly arrive but don't enter the room. Holly questions if Cara will make it but Krista doesn't know and immediately, Holly blames herself for what happened until Krista reminds her it was an accident.
(Later)
Krista and Holly enter Cara's room this time bringing sustenance for Remi. Remi wants to know how her wife ended up in hospital and so Krista starts to explain things to her but a rapid bleeping has the conversation ending so Remi can spring into doctor mode.
Stevie comes in and tries to calm Remi down over why Cara isn't conscious yet. Remi turns down the offer of looking at Cara's scans, wishing instead that she would simply wake up. Barely seconds later, her wish comes true as Cara starts to wake up… but Remi panics when she doesn't fully wake up and questions if she does have brain damage! She is working herself up into such a state that Dr Hart raises her voice and warns Dr Varga- Murphy to "stop imagining the worst" because they aren't there!
The Waterhole
We hear from Andrew/Sadie that Wendy knows about Cara and isn't coming home, which they are pleased to hear because she sounds so excited about her placement.
While Andrew is in a good mood, Sadie drops it in that she is going to stay at #32 long term. He takes the news very well… well after trying to wind her up! In turn, she tells him to take his advice of "living it up" too.

Leo is still downbeat after losing $20k on the birthday event and being unable to track down the person who booked it. He's frustrated at himself too for not doing due diligence, thinking more about the potential profit instead of checking things out.
Ramsay Street
Aaron finally catches up with Nicolette and initially she was going to keep quiet over why she wanted to talk to him, but eventually she tells him about seeing the card and its contents. He does confirm that in "a perfect world" he would have agreed to be the VM's sperm donor. This causes her to question why he wouldn't have a child with her, although seconds later she blurts out why not (describing herself as "a chaotic hurricane")! Quickly he stops her to reassure Nicolette that he didn't mean it the way he said it, adding "I never said I wouldn't do it with you," and goes onto agree that yes, in a perfect world if he didn't carry the Huntington's gene, he would have another child with her. Those words very much reassure Nicolette and the pair end up hugging one another.
Lassiters Complex
Pondering on Wendy's phonecall words to him, Andrew tells Sadie when they meet up, that he's decided [when Wendy is ready] to go and see her. He plans to make a bit of an adventure of the journey to Murrayville by camping (and fishing) whilst wearing his new hat purchased from the Foundation to help him "reconnect." Sadie is pleased with what her dad has said.
Eclipse Apartment 702
Leo arrives with some news to share with Krista - courtesy of Byron, they've discovered polaroid photos from the party which will be handed over to the police to try and identify the birthday boy.
Hospital
Holly is standing watching Cara from the corridor when Sadie arrives. She asks how Holly is doing and the response is "not great" then goes onto list all her recent stuff ups which have affected others - Eden, Bowman, Heath and now Cara.
HOLLY: When's it gonna end?
Holly adds that she's implemented all the techniques Felix taught her but "nothing's working." Despite Sadie trying to say she's just been "unlucky," Holly is blaming herself and is getting worked up over potentially causing another person's death, especially since unlike "bad person" Heath, Cara is a "good person."
Krista's office
Leo drops by Krista's office with the pics from the party having identified who the birthday boy is from the photos found. He doesn't pick up on her reaction to seeing the person, and while Leo calls Andrew to let him know, she puts the photo of him [the only one] into her laptop and closes the lid. Krista then hands Leo the remaining photos as he's off to the station - unawares that there is one missing!
Hospital
Remi is tearily happy when Cara fully wakes up, even when told she looking terrible! "What happened?" Cara ask and Remi fills her in on what happened and what her injuries are, including the fact she "died".
REMI: That's why I look terrible!
With Cara now awake, Remi jumps back into doctor mode and does her obs which Cara passes with flying colours especially as she winds Remi up over what year it is!
Krista's office
Leo comes looking for the missing photo and Krista lies over its existence and suggests Leo retrace his steps. With him out of the office, she gets the photo out of her drawer and then gets her phone out… where we then see the same guy in a photo with Krista!
