At number 22, Andrew walks in and Paul is on the phone, Paul ends the call and asks Andrew if he got the book from the bar. Andrew tells Paul that it doesn’t feel right that Elaine Lawson will be taking a cheap settlement when she has mounting medical bills. Paul laughs this off and asks Andrews what he would prefer ‘lose Lassiters, the house, be made bankrupt?’ Paul asks again about the condolence book. Andrew tells Paul he did not get it, Tash refused to hand it over and she’s planning to leave Erinsborough and go overseas. Paul is pleased by this and says to Andrew ‘the sooner she goes, the sooner I can tell you what to do’.

Sonya goes into Toadie's bag and finds some papers on ‘Regaining your memory through exercise and diet’. Sonya, obviously shocked, confronts Toadie, but he is concerned that Sonya may never remember or recover and that really scares both him and Callum.

At the garage, Mason and Lucas are talking about car parts, Mason drops a box on the floor and show Lucas the magazine he was given.

At Harold's, Kate and Sophie are talking about the music scholarship. Kate tells Sophie that Paul will ‘freak out’ when he finds out what she did. Sophie tells Kate that the school is ‘perfect for her, it’s where she needs to be’. After further discussion about keeping in touch and Kate suggesting she gets a transfer nearer to Sophie, Sophie tells her not to do that as she has Harry to keep an eye on her. Kate agrees to let Sophie go to Sydney. Sophie is happy, but wants Kate to come with her so she can tell Paul.

Back at number 22, Paul is outraged; he didn’t give his consent for Sophie to go to Sydney. Sophie tells Paul that it was the consent form he signed, not the excursion trip to Canberra. Paul threatens to ring the school and retract the enrolment form, Kate steps in to calm the situation and Sophie pleads with Paul as she promises to study and get good grades. Andrew and Tash walk in holding hands, and Paul remarks ‘So you’ve decided to chuck your life away and go globetrotting around the world?’ Andrew tells Paul he’s decided to go to Paris with Tash and wants him to buy his shares of Charlie’s. He tells Paul it’s a good investment and he wants out, he can’t do it anymore. Paul tells them all to go, as he doesn't care what they do.
