In a four episode week, a long-term resident had a close shave whilst a confrontation by another didn’t exactly go swimmingly...

Ringo was shocked to see Pepper & Rosetta kissing and after very little convincing, revealed all to Frazer, leaving him and his masculinity feeling inadequate, however, Rosetta & Pepper decided that it was a one off thing and moved on. Desperate to prove his masculinity, Frazer offered to help Steph fix a spotlight at Scarlet Bar, but ended up giving himself an electric shock instead, much to Oliver & Carmella’s amusement. As news spread around the 20 somethings group, they put two and two together and came up with five, leaving them convinced that Rosie & Pepper were a couple especially as Rosetta had admired how hot a motorcycle rider was in front of Toadie not realising that it was Steph. Upon hearing what Ringo had seen, Pepper & Rosetta was horrified to learn that everyone thought that they were a couple.

Ned was wary when Paul offered to pay his remaining debt with Ari, and buy furniture for his apartment and rightly so as he was blackmailed into mugging Paul for the Lassiter’s takings he was carrying to the bank. As Glenn walked in on Paul & Elle talking about their schemes for the Timmins’ and saw the supposedly stolen cash, they were forced to work on damage control in case she had heard, concocting a story about Paul winning big at the casino. Meanwhile, Glenn revealed to Janae that her affair with Boyd was much more than a kiss, but Boyd continued to say otherwise, however as Elle convinced Glenn to stay, Boyd revealed that it was a full on affair. As the week draw to a close, Janae heartbroken to learn that the affair was more to Boyd than just a meaningless fling.

Rachel was impressed when Ringo showed her the new name of the blogzine, ‘The Borough’ telling her that he had paid for it using his own money. Seeing that Rachel still had her Valentine’s card, Ringo planned to reveal his true self to her and asked her to meet him at The General Store, however Rachel was less than impressed to learn that he was her secret admirer, but upon seeing him with Lolly began to realise that she was feeling jealous.

Toadie made a big impression on Abby’s daughter, Zoe, but as Steph saw Abby kissing another man in The General Store and assumed that she was taking Toadie for a ride, Toadie worried the Abby might meet someone better than him through her escort work and move on.

Karl & Susan set off on their much anticipated trip to London, leaving Zeke planning a party. At the airport though, Susan was annoyed to learn that she and Karl didn’t have seats on the plane as Karl hadn’t realised that he needed to ring and confirm the seats, leaving Lou, who was scheduled to be on their flight, facing her fury as a representative of BonzAir. As Karl & Susan returned early, interrupting Rachel & Zeke’s party, her anger soon turned to joy as one of the kids shouted to Zeke that is granddad was there, leaving her thrilled as he headed down to A Good Hair Day to have it shaved off. Meanwhile, Karl & Susan were shocked to realise that their delayed trip would leave them with financial problems, as Susan would be missing two weeks worth of wages and due to renovations they wouldn’t be able to stay with Mal & Catherine as planned. However, as Susan felt compelled to apply for the upcoming Principal’s position, a role she didn’t want, Karl took it upon himself to bring home the bacon, applying for the job of Legal Secretary at Tim Collins & Associates, but Susan worried that he hadn’t thought it through.

Lolly was horrified to learn that with Lou away working for BonzAir, Sandy would be coming to stay, leaving Ringo questioning why she was scared of her stepmother. Ringo told Lolly to put an end to her abuse, but was horrified to learn that Lolly hadn’t taken his advice in the way he meant it and had tampered with the brakes on Sandy’s car, however the pair were stunned to see Sandy return in the car, safe and sound. As Sandy cleaned the pool at number 24, Lolly confronted her, telling her that she was going to tell the truth, but as the pair argued and Sandy moved to hit her, she was pushed into the pool by Lolly, hitting her head as she fell.

Also this week, the residents rallied round to be tested as bone marrow donors for Kerry, however as Bree questioned Harold over Loris, Susan was stunned to realise that Harold knew where she was and wouldn’t reveal the truth.
