A seriously ill Cameron told Paul that he wanted to join the family business, but only if Paul changed his ways. Pleased to be making progress with his son, Paul arranged to see a psychiatrist, but shortly after Paul left for his first appointment, Cameron’s condition deteriorated and he was taken for emergency surgery. Meanwhile, Paul admitted to his shrink that he wanted to change and that prison made him a worse man and had left him unable to form normal bonds with people. After the session, Paul returned to Ramsay Street to apologise for his behaviour towards Izzy and told her that he’d never stop loving her, but that they’d be better apart as they bring out the worst in each other. Izzy agreed, and told Paul that she was leaving Erinsborough. As the former couple proved that good Neighbours could become good friends, Lyn arrived and rushed Paul to the hospital, where shortly after arriving they were told that Cameron hadn’t survived. As the news spread, the residents were devastated, particularly Max, who struggled to adapt to the fact that he’d killed a man, whilst Paul made plans for Cameron to be taken home to Tasmania for the funeral, accompanied by him, Elle & Sister Mary Catherine.

Blaming herself and her lies for Cameron’s death, Elle revealed to Dylan, who had not long returned from his cooking course that she’d lied about her illness to keep him and told him to go back to Sky. However, as Dylan told Sky that Elle had lied and that he wanted to be with her, Sky pushed him away, not wanting to lie to keep him as Elle had done. The trouble teen soon changed her mind when a mistakenly disposed box of medical records brought about an unlikely bond between her and her old adversary, Izzy, who told Sky that the lives of her and those around her would’ve been better if her secret hadn’t come out, and Sky should learn from that. With Izzy’s words fresh in her mind, Sky relented and took Dylan back, for the good of herself, Dylan and the baby. Meanwhile, with Paul still over in Tasmania with Gail & Elle, Lyn sought Carmella’s help to win the debtors over and get them to drop the ‘baby belt’ lawsuit in a bid to save the Scully house and Paul’s business, with an out of the habit, Sister Mary Catherine hoping to use the Cammeniti name to scare them into doing so. Sadly, with Rocco in prison, the name was worthless, as was Lyn’s bluff regarding the other company’s business activities, and they failed, leaving Lyn forced to sell her house.
