Fiona rises from bed late, and Beryl gets her some breakfast.
Fiona asks if Beryl has made any plans for that evening, and then
adds that she's decided treat everyone to dinner, including Bill
and Susan. Fiona says she's looking forward to meeting Susan -
and Bill of course. Beryl offers to show Fiona the sights of Melbourne.
Fiona jokes, "See Melbourne and die?!" Later in the
day, Susan and Bill meet Fiona. Bill tries to get out of going
to the meal, but he eventually relents.
When John finishes work at the stud for the day, Wayne drives
after him and offers him a lift to Manly, in exchange for a beer.
When they get to the boarding house, Wayne asks "Scott"
if he thinks Wayne is up himself. He says the Angela and Simon
business was Patricia's idea, and they agree to forget it. John
tells Wayne that Fiona has gone to Melbourne on business, but
he doesn't know what business it is exactly. Jill bursts in and
"Scott" goes over to talk to her. She is angry because
"Scott" has left her a note, rather than talk to her.
Wayne overhears them arguing, and is very interested to hear Jill
say she agreed to play along and pretend she's pregnant. Jill
tells "Scott" that he and Angela would make a very good
pair! When Wayne has gone, "Scott" tells Jill that Wayne
overheard her and has probably gone home to tell Angela. Jill
says that to put Angela off further, why doesn't "Scott"
tell her that he lives next door to a hooker?!
Wayne tells Angela that Jill isn't pregnant and says everyone
has been laughing at her behind her back. Wayne says "Scott"
has also been lying about coming from Brisbane. He tells Angela
to stick with Simon.
The Palmers have a good night out. When Susan goes to help Beryl
prepare some nightcaps, Fiona is left alone with Bill. She tells
him it was a shame it took John's troubles for David to contact
her again, and says she may have been able to help John. Fiona
says it's funny John didn't go to any of his friends, and Bill
replies that perhaps John didn't want them to get mixed up in
things. Fiona says, "You help your friends..."
In the kitchen, Susan tells Beryl that Fiona is nice. Beryl shows
Susan a letter from Lynn which she has been trying to hide from
Kevin, but she has decided Kevin should have it, so she takes
it to his bedroom and gives it to him.
Next morning, John prepares breakfast for Jill. He takes it
in to her, but she says it takes more than burnt toast to get
round her. Jill then apologises for blowing things with Wayne.
"Scott" gives Jill a new copy of the Saturday Night
Fever soundtrack.
Beryl has a hangover, but Fiona is fine! While Fiona prepares
breakfast, Beryl tells her about Kevin, Lynn and the letter. Kevin
is 'ill' in bed. Beryl checks on him, then goes out. Shortly after,
Fiona also shouts that she's going out. When he hears the door
slam, Kevin gets out of bed, quickly gets dressed and retrieves
a packed-bag from beneath his bed. He goes into the living room
- and Fiona appears behind him! She tells Kevin that running away
won't help, and asks him what he was planning to do when he got
to Tasmania. Fiona tells Kevin to wait a while - if Lynn loves
him, she'll understand. She advises Kevin to get a job so he can
support the two of them. Fiona says, "You're just like your
brother," before hurriedly adding, "...he was a devil
as a kid."
Simon has organised a secluded villa for his and Angela's honeymoon.
Angela doesn't look impressed, but says it sounds wonderful. Barbara,
who is sitting listening, asks Angela to show her out. When the
two of them are alone by the front door, Barbara says, "You
don't love him, do you?" Mrs. Armstrong wants to know why
Angela's stringing her son along. She says the two of them shouldn't
muck up their lives. Angela admits she messed-up, but says it
got harder and harder to break from Simon - plus she didn't want
to lose Mrs. Armstrong's respect. Angela tells Barbara that she's
found she still has a chance with another guy. Barbara tells Angela
that she'll break the news to Patricia, but Angela must tell Simon
- which she does straight away. She tells her ex-fiancé that she
can't marry him because she doesn't love him and she won't change
her mind. Simon guesses it's probably for the best and says he
won't make a fuss. Angela thanks him for being so understanding
and then he leaves, looking despondent.
At the stud, Wayne and "Scott" break for lunch. "Scott"
goes off for a swim and Wayne spots "Scott's" jacket
hanging up. He rifles through it, not noticing the wallet that
falls on the ground. He does find "Scott's" keys, though,
and immediately takes them and drives to the boarding house. He
goes into Fiona's room and searches through the cupboards and
drawers. Eventually, he finds Fiona's envelope of newspaper clippings
relating to the Selmar murder, and he takes it. John finishes
his swim, and finds his wallet on the ground beneath his jacket,
and his keys missing.
Wayne goes to Dural and Angela tells him the wedding is off.
Wayne asks if Simon found out that Angela doesn't qualify to wear
white! He then asks if the decision has anything to do with "Scott
Edwards". He chucks Angela the envelope of clippings and
tells her that "Scott's" real name is John Palmer and
that he's wanted for murder. Wayne tells Angela that if she wants
any fun with John, she'd better hurry before the police pick him
up...
