No 28 - Living Room: Ringo asks Zeke why they’ve been kicked out of their room. Zeke explains it is due to the Ramsay kids taking it for the night. Zeke’s surprised that Ringo knows about Donna kissing Sunny, Ringo explains it’s not a big deal. Zeke’s also curious how Ringo knows it was Sunny’s first kiss. Zeke talks to his mate about how the kiss was a big deal for Sunny, Ringo tells his mate that’s because Sunny is weird. The conversation then switches to sleeping arrangements. Ringo asks Zeke why he gets the couch, which leads to Zeke bluntly telling him, that he was here first. Ringo isn’t best pleased when Zeke tells him his left with the air mattress.

Ringo and Zeke play a guilt trip on the kids, explaining that they could have at least thanked people for letting them stay before leaving. Sophie then explains that they aren’t coping which doesn’t please Kate. Zeke tries to relate to the Ramsay’s. He explains how he was worried that he might be split up from his sister when his parents died. Zeke then tells them how Karl and Susan kept them together. That seems to have an effect on the Ramsay’s, as they decide to stay for breakfast.

While Kate and Harry have some breakfast, Sophie beats Ringo at a video game. It isn’t long before Karl and Susan enter both intent on having some breakfast themselves. Karl tries to hide his displeasure when he finds out that theirs no cereal or bread left. Feeling a bit awkward Kate decides its time to go. Karl tells them to wait so that he can give them a lift, while Susan talks to Kate about the possibility of them moving into Number 24. Kate doesn’t understand; as she believes the deadline to apply for living in the house has expired. Susan reveals she took the liberty of saying they’d take the house. She’s relieved when Kate doesn’t snap at her, and she reaffirms the fact that no one will split them up. Susan’s then delighted when Kate accepts the offer, only just resisting the urge to hug the young teenager.

Harold's Store: Libby tries to convince Dan about going ahead with the surrogacy idea. Dan talks to his wife about the concerns he has. He tells Libby he doesn’t think Steph carrying the baby is a good idea. He tells her he doesn’t want them to fall out again.

Clearly frustrated with her husband Libby heads off to do some marking.

Erinsborough High - Classroom: Steph goes to see Dan. She reads him the riot act about how he should support the surrogacy idea. Steph tells him that his being narrow minded, just because it doesn’t fit in with the way he wants a pregnancy to develop. Dan doesn’t like being judged, yet Steph tells him Libby really needs this baby. Its then that Dan reveals his biggest concern, his not sure if Steph will be able to give up a baby after carrying it for 9 months. Steph tries to reassure him that she’ll be fine and that their only next door anyway. Dan argues that she still won’t have any say in how it is raised and that he doubts whether she could walk away from the baby she felt so close too. Steph then ponders whether she’ll be able to do that herself.

Dingoes' Den Gym: Dan bumps into Bridget and they talk about Bridget’s baby. Dan asks her how she handles the whole scenario. Bridget explains that she just goes with it, leaving Dan to wonder whether he should do that in terms of the surrogacy.

Toadie tells Sophie they’ll fix her bike as soon as they get to Ramsay Street. Zeke, Sunny and Ringo are among the other residents helping the Ramsay’s out. When Zeke offers to help Sunny carry some cardboard she drops it at his feet abruptly, clearly still unhappy with him. Elsewhere, Callum and Lou arrive on the scene in a big Truck. Toadie’s mystified why Callum comes out of the Truck wearing a helmet, Callum explains he doesn’t feel safe with Lou after the curse was put on him. The Ramsay kids are amused when Lou asks Toadie if he has a Rabbit’s foot, to fight off the curse that was put on him. Callum tentatively says hi to Sophie, who nods back at him.

Ringo adds more misery onto Lou, by telling him one of the truck’s tyres has gone flat. Lou can’t believe it, whilst both Toadie and Callum find it most amusing.

No 28 - Living Room: Libby pops over to see her parents. She quickly tells them about her argument with Dan over the Surrogacy idea.

He asks Libby if they have seeked medical advice on the matter and when she says no, he hastily leaves saying his just remembered he needs to do something. Susan reminds him about helping the Ramsay’s, Karl tells his wife he’ll be there soon, and that Libby can drive her. Libby’s face is one of worry as Karl exits.

No 32: Karl marches over to Steph and confronts her over her offer to Libby and Dan. Karl tells Steph she knows it isn’t a real possibility and all that she’s providing is false hope. Steph takes an exception to that and tells Karl it is her decision. She then quickly tells the doctor to leave.

No 30 - Living Room: Libby and Dan continue to talk about the surrogacy. Dan reveals his a control freak and that he wants to be in control of the situation. Libby tells him he isn’t a control freak, but just a caring husband. Dan continues to explain that having a baby is something you can’t control anyway. Libby enquires about Steph, and Dan agrees, saying he just wants her to be happy. The two embrace as their excitement grows about the potential of having a baby.
