Belinda is walking past the Community Centre, when Sonya rushes to catch up with her. She tells her that Toadie had nothing to do with reporting her to the hospital for having an affair with Steph. But Belinda simply replies that Toadie is a controlling bully, and that no-one else knew or had a motive. Again Sonya states that Toadie is not lying and adds that he’s a good man that just cares about Steph. Belinda asks Sonya if she think’s that she doesn’t care about Steph, and declares that she loves her. Sonya asks Belinda why she went to Paul. Belinda explains that she was genuinely worried about her, with Sonya replying that Toadie was genuinely worried about her too - that’s why he’s involved in all of this. Belinda doesn’t believe her and thinks Toadie wants Steph out of her world and back in his, adding that Toadie is ‘a selfish manipulator who can’t stand someone else being close to her!’ Sonya, getting angry, tells Belinda that she doesn’t even know Jarrod, and doesn’t know what she is talking about. Sonya concludes that Toadie is not lying, but Belinda doesn’t believe this and again states he is a liar. She says that she’s lost her girlfriend, possibly her career and declares that she’s not going to let him get away with it, before walking away.

At Erinsborough Police Station, Mark is interviewing Paul, who is claiming that Sue Parker received her house on the Freestyle development as payment for consultancy work at Lassiter’s – and not for fast-tracking the development through council. Paul says to Mark: “It’s very similar to the arrangement I had with Terese Willis. She’ll confirm that.” The interview then shifts to Terese, who says: “That’s correct. There was an arrangement in place whereby the house in Ramsay Street was part of my employment package at Lassiter’s.” “Right. But did he put the house in your name?” asks Mark. “The lease was in my name,” she explains. Mark asks Terese to confirm she was never given the property, like Paul is claiming Sue Parker was. The interview moves to Mark interviewing Daniel, who says, “Yes, I was asked to put Sue Parker’s name on one of the properties.” “Right. And what sort of business did she do to earn the house?” asks Mark.

Mark is now interviewing Shay. “I have no idea,” she says. Mark asks her, “So after working at Lassiter’s, and looking through all the files, you can’t say what Sue Parker was contracted to do for the company?” Shay explains: “But that’s it. She wasn’t contracted.” “There was no official record?” is Mark’s next question. “Correct,” says Shay. Mark is now asking Daniel if Sue Parker’s work was in fact to get the Freestyle development through council. Daniel tells Mark that he didn’t know the details. Paul tells Mark that the fact Sue Parker signed off on the permits for Freestyle doesn’t mean there was anything untoward going on, but Mark points out there’s a clear and obvious conflict of interests. Back in Shay’s interview, she tells Mark, “Well, when someone’s consulting and getting paid a stipend as large as a house, you’d expect to see paperwork pertaining to it.” Mark continues to question Terese, who says: “Well, Paul often works with people outside my management.” “Well, yeah, but if he’s paying these people, surely there’s a paper trail?” asks Mark in reply. “No, not necessarily. Sometimes the deals are worked out privately,” Terese says. “What information is valuable enough to earn a free house – and yet you, the manager, knows nothing about it?” Mark then asks Daniel if he saw any evidence that Paul bribed Sue Parker. Daniel claims not, so Mark asks if he’s heard anything. Back in Paul’s interview, Mark tells Paul the police can interview his employees without a search warrant – "so there’s no time to run off and line up your ducks in a row. Falsifying and backdating documents won’t be possible." Mark also tells him that if he’s charged with bribery his assets will be frozen. Mark hands over to the detectives from the anti-corruption unit to continue the interview. Mark leaves and Paul looks worried.
