Karl expresses his displeasure at Olivia... Elly is keen to know what is mentioned in the book so that she has advance warning... Naomi informs her family
that Levi will be arriving in Erinsborough... Heather discovers that she and Dee are working on the gardening programme... Owen informs Andrea that Dee will
be visiting the prison on Friday... Owen plants a shiv on an inmate to force the prison into lockdown... Dee drinks some water that Owen gave her, and later
collapses... Andrea greets her sister...
At Goodwood Prison, Heather is in a panic and reports to the guards that she cannot find Andrea, but the guard, Bonnie, isn't interested.
 ..
Meanwhile, at no. 30, Yashvi and Ned arrive home from a workout and volunteer to take Nell and Hugo to the park, sensing that Toadie is overwhelmed with work.
An unhappy Elly is at Harold's, describing Olivia's book to Bea as 'pure trash' after reading it, with Bea upset that they are still having to pay for what
Finn did to them. Noticing that her sister is looking a bit down, Elly explains that she dreamed about Finn last night and is hopeful that this doesn't set
Bea down the wrong path after the progress she has made. Despite Elly's confession Bea assures her that she is determined to keep looking forward.
 ..
Back at the prison, Heather heads into the garden area and spots who she thinks is Andrea lying on the ground. However, upon turning her over, she is
surprised to see that it is Dee.
At no. 26, Sheila is also angry about Olivia's book and is taking out her frustrations by busily tidying up Kyle's bedroom. Although initially upset that
Sheila has been in his room, Kyle is understanding when he realises the reason for her behaviour. He then becomes annoyed again as Sheila mentions about
finding a nice girl for him, despite Kyle making it clear there is only one girl he is interested in, Roxy.
 ..
A little later Kyle is busily looking online for a car and nearly runs into Bea at the bottom of the no. 26 driveway. He starts to talk to Bea about
Olivia's book before quickly changing the subject as Sheila arrives on the driveway. Sheila has a spring in her step and volunteers to go with Kyle to
look at purchasing a car but Bea, realising that Kyle isn't too keen on the idea, volunteers to go instead under the proviso that she is a mechanic.
Surprisingly Sheila falls for this and heads off, leaving Bea to genuinely offer to go with Kyle to the dealership to make sure that he doesn't purchase
a lemon.
After her surprise at seeing Dee, Heather is in the recreation room at the prison when Bonnie enters. She tries unsuccessfully to convince Bonnie that the
lady in the infirmary is Dee and not Andrea and then tells her that they can check who it is as Dee has a scar and Andrea doesn't. Bonnie seems reluctant
to get involved but then takes Heather's claims seriously at the mention of the police.
 ..
Over at the Waterhole, Sheila heads over to chat to Elly, who is just finishing her call with Shaun by warning him not to read Olivia's book. Sheila is
shocked that Elly decided to buy a copy of the book even if it was just so that she could find out what was written about her. She considers what has
been written in the book about Gary, but Elly assures her that it is not too bad just sensationalised, admitting that this is the one part of the book
that is correct as it leans on the tragic nature of his death. Although taking some comfort in this, Sheila then becomes annoyed that Olivia's
over-exaggerated account of the events on the island is allowing her to turn a profit. Elly confesses that she is worried that people will believe
that what is written in the book is the truth, but Sheila reminds her that as long as the residents know the truth, they are stronger than anything
written on a page. Feeling heartened by Sheila's comments, Elly thinks that putting the book in the bin is the best option, but Sheila has a better
idea and tells her to come over to no. 26 at 4pm and to bring the book with her.
On Power Road, Kyle pulls up to the garage in a 4x4 car that he has just purchased, explaining to Bea that Sheila has been nagging him to settle down
and start a family, and this is the perfect car as it is family friendly. They are both surprised to see a police car pull up behind them, although Kyle
cannot see that he has committed any infringement. It's revealed that the police officer is Kyle's cousin Levi, and Kyle gets out of the car to give him
a hug, before introducing him to Bea. After extending a hand to Bea Levi jokes that he is from the good side of the family, admitting that turning up
unexpectedly was an opportunity too good to miss. As Levi talks to his cousin about having a gun and a taser Bea asks him if he has any real police work
to do, noticeably aware that he is giving her the eye.
 ..
At Harold's, Toadie is surprised as he bumps into Russell Brand whilst focused on his phone. Toadie learns that Russell has stopped off in Erinsborough
for the writers' festival. Before they part Russell gives Toadie a copy of his book, but Toadie is seemingly more concerned with his phone call and
rushes out of the cafe, telling the caller he will be there right away.
A concerned Heather and Dee are waiting in the Governor's office at the prison, debating as to why they didn't pick up on what Andrea was planning. It
is only when Toadie arrives and confirms that the person in the room is Dee and not Andrea that Heather's claims are taken seriously, and she quickly
heads off to talk to the Governor. As she leaves Toadie asks Dee why she is dressed that way. She confirms that Andrea managed to escape the prison by
convincing one of the guards to drug her, in order that they could swap places. Toadie becomes angry that this wasn't mentioned on the earlier phone call,
and he hurriedly calls Yashvi, concerned about his son, Hugo.
 ..
Yashvi isn't picking up her phone at no. 30 as she is busy playing hide and seek with Ned and Nell. It becomes apparent that 'Dee' had picked up Hugo
earlier in the day and this had not aroused Yashvi's suspicions as it had been cleared by Toadie earlier via a text message. Ned looks concerned and
suggests that Yashvi send Toadie a text message telling him that 'Dee' has left with Hugo, but Yashvi wants to finish her game of hide and seek first.
In an unknown location Andrea is trying to persuade Hugo to address her as 'mum', but Hugo isn't interested in doing this.
 ..
At the prison Dee suggests that Toadie call Ned as he is unable to reach Yashvi.
Back at no. 30 Ned hears the vibration of his phone and goes to answer it quietly, since he and Yashvi are continuing to hide from Nell. Ned eventually
answers the phone and hears the concerning news from Toadie regarding Dee and Andrea having swapped places. He asks Yashvi where Andrea and Hugo are, but
all she can tell him is that they have left the house to places unknown. This leads Ned to confirm to Yashvi that it is Andrea who has taken Hugo, having
managed to escape from prison.
 ..
Ned is hopeful that Andrea and Hugo haven't gone far, but there is no sign of them as he rushes onto the street.
After his unexpected appearance at the garage Levi has a further surprise as he greets his gran Sheila outside the Waterhole. Despite the warm greeting
Sheila doesn't look entirely happy to see Levi, trying to cover this by declaring that she is pleased to see him. Although Kyle doesn't look entirely
convinced Sheila gives Levi a hug, before Levi heads off to take a work call. As he does so Kyle asks Sheila why she is behaving weirdly with Levi, but
she brushes this off by denying this is the case. Levi returns briefly to tell his family that he is going to have to leave for work, allowing Sheila to
take the opportunity to invite him round to no. 26.
 ..
The reason for Levi's sudden work call is revealed as he heads over to no. 30 to interview Ned and Yashvi about Hugo's disappearance. Although not entirely
certain, Yashvi thinks that Andrea left in a car with Hugo and reiterates that she only allowed Hugo to leave as she was certain Toadie's text message was
genuine. Levi mentions that the email was probably faked but this doesn't comfort Yashvi much. Eventually Toadie and Dee arrive at the house, with Toadie
ignoring Yashvi's attempts at an explanation and asking Levi what is being done to find his son. Levi confirms that an APB has been sent out and then
questions Dee as to whether she knows where Andrea might have gone. She admits that she doesn't really know Andrea and Toadie confirms that she has no
friends locally. As they continue to discuss what to do to try and find Andrea, Yashvi quietly berates herself for allowing Hugo to leave with who she
thought was Dee.
Over at no. 26 Elly has arrived in the backyard as requested by Sheila, accompanied by Bea. As Kyle also arrives it becomes clear as to why this meeting
was arranged, in order that they could burn their respective copies of Olivia's book. Elly tosses her copy of the book into the flames as she tells the
departed Finn that it is over now, swiftly followed by Sheila and Kyle who throw their own copy into the fire, with Kyle admitting to his gran that he is
proud she decided not to read what was written about Gary. As the four of them continue to watch the books burn, Sheila smiles as a pigeon swoops into the
garden.
 ..
Back at no. 30, Dee is recalling the events at the prison, informing Levi that she saw Andrea in the exercise yard before she blacked out, and that there
was a suspicion in her mind that the prison guard Owen was involved in the plot to drug her. She also mentions that Heather noticed something suspicious
going on between Owen and Andrea. Toadie isn't sure why this is relevant to finding Hugo, but Levi contends that they need to know exactly what happened
at the prison as this could help them to locate Andrea. He also becomes unhappy with the part Heather played but Dee defends her mum, telling Toadie that
without her noone would have believed her. Despite this Toadie becomes further angered that he is unable to do anything to find his son, taking his
frustrations out on Yashvi as she mentions that Andrea is dangerous. Dee tries to placate Toadie by indicating that noone knew Andrea could be capable
of this, but Toadie is adamant that he was aware and continues to demand that Levi finds his son.
A few hours later at no. 30 Toadie is still awaiting news about his son but nothing is forthcoming.
 ..
Meanwhile, at the prison, Heather is astonished as Bonnie reveals to her, after much pleading, that Andrea has taken Hugo.
At no. 30, Ned once again tries to mumble an apology on behalf of himself and Yashvi, but instead receives a glaring look from Toadie, who seemingly
isn't interested. Dipi arrives home and offers Toadie her sympathies, mentioning that Dee has retreated to no. 28, feeling it best to keep her distance
for now. She reminds Toadie that is has only been a few hours since Andrea took Hugo and tries to reassure him that the police will find her.
 ..
There is a glimpse of Andrea as she continues to try her best to amuse Hugo in locations unknown.
 ..
Toadie, fearing the worst, wonders if he will ever see his son again.
