In Scarlet Bar, Glenn and Boyd discuss dinner plans. Glenn says that this is the first time they'll have dinner together since she moved in and wants to them to have it like a proper couple. Boys tells her that he'll be home around six and kisses her as she leaves, meeting Janae entering the bar. She asks Boyd for the order Dylan placed for Janelle's birthday party, brushing off Boyd's offer of support and help. She tells him that their marriage is over and it hurts her to pretend that everyone is alright between them.

At number 26, Steiger tells Bree that its all clear as she opens the door to him. The house has been decorated with balloons and Steiger tells her that he left Janelle down at the hospital and managed to keep her occupied all morning by going power walking. He asks them if they're ready to go. Bree says she is, but Dylan isn't going, he has been in the kitchen all morning. Steiger tells her to wait in the car as he goes to talk to him. Dylan is flat-out preparing for the party as Steiger tells him that he has loved getting to know the kids since going out with Janelle and that he never believed he'd be singing the praises of the Timmins boys before complimenting Dylan on his bravery - when he is scared witless but goes on anyway and not letting down those he loves. Dylan says he is ready and follows Steiger out to the car.

At number 30, Rachel tells Ringo that she has been reading his piece for the blogzine, she says its good but he overuses exclaimation marks making out that they're all 'Wacky funsters.' He is visibly annoyed and she asks him if he is getting upset because she criticized his punctuation. As they sit, he asks why they never laugh together and she replies because the fight, they spark. Ringo tells her he is sick of fighting and she tells him if they don't fight, they can't make-up, he smiles before kissing her.

At the hospital, everyone is eagerly awaiting the results of Kerry's tests. Steiger tries to comfort a worried Janelle. Zeke enters and gives Bree a note, and tells her to read it later before leaving. Sky is frantic with fear, wanting to see Kerry but Dylan calms her down, saying they have to be strong for Kerry's sake irregardless of whether the news is good or bad. Dr. Marley then appears inviting Sky and Dylan to come through to her office. She tells them that Kerry will have to continue to have tests over the next few weeks and it is too early to give them a definitive answer however the test results indicate that the transplant was a success. Sky and Dylan are overjoyed and share the news with the family, who are ecstatic. As they hug, Stingray walks to Sky and embraces her and she thanks him. Harold is praying, thanking God that he didn't take Kerry, Stingray tells him to put in a good word for him before inviting him to come and see Kerry.

She tells him that her parents are renovating their beach shack and they could move in. Boyd asks about uni and she tells him that her uni is only twenty minutes away but thinks he hates the idea. He says that it is just a shock and points out his commitments to Steph at the bar and a trip with Summer to visit Max during his holidays. Glenn says that they can't live across the street from Janae forever. He tells her that it is a great idea but he's committed to Erinsborough, before asking her about the second thing she wanted to say. Nervously, Glenn tells him that it was the beach house and moving in, before continuing her meal.

At number 30, Rachel and Ringo are kissing and he asks her if she wants to go somewhere more comfortable but he angers Rachel, who tells him he always ruins things. He says he thought she would want to because with Stingray being older, he assumed she'd be used to it. He tries to explain himself, saying he feels stupid as Stingray is older and seems so cool. Rachel tells him that he is an idiot, explaining that Stingray isn't here and Ringo is. She wants him and the pair notice that they've had another fight and make-up with a kiss.

At number 32, Boyd has to leave to fill in at work, he apologizes for his negativity before, but he reckons its a good idea and says he will talk to uni about a transfer tomorrow.

Back at number 32, Glenn leaves a message for her mum on the phone, whilst waiting on the results of her pregnancy test but Boyd's sudden return causes her to throw it in the trash. She offers to put the bag of rubbish in the bin outside but Boyd insists and takes it himself, unaware of the test inside.

The following day out on the street, preparations are underway for Janelle's birthday party. Steiger is bust trying to put up a '39th' birthday sign and Harold arrives with food, before leaving to get Sky. Once again, Rachel tries to talk to Stingray but is interrupted by Bree.

Janae jokes that Colac girls do start young but Bree tells him that the sign has been recycled for a couple of years, much to Steiger's surprise. Stingray notices that Ringo is staring and tells Rcahel to put him out of his misery, promising to talk to her later. Janelle comes out of the house in her pyjamas and everyone shouts "Surprise" and begin to cheer.

Sky doesn't know how to thank him for everything he has done for them but he tells her that just being around is enough for him. Before leaving she tells him that last night, for the first time in ages, she had no nightmares

Back on the street, Glenn looks through the rubbish bag for the test but stops and talk to Janae, telling her that she doesn't like the situation any more than Janae does but says that she and Boyd will be moving soon, thinking it ill be better for everyone but Janae has nothing to say and returns to the party.
