No 26 - Kitchen: Toadie is updating the Parkers with what has happened, he thinks Didge will get a fine or a good behaviour bond. Didge agrees to put her protesting days behind her and write a letter of apology to the police. Dec thinks that Didge needs to calm down and lets her know of this.

Erinsborough & District Hospital: Susan presents Brian with a photo of Didge showing the him intimidating Didge and says that unless the decision on IVF treatment is reversed then that photo will run on the next edition of the Erinsborough News.

No 26 - Living Room: Dec returns from work anxious to spend time with India. Dec wants them to take India on a walk down the park. Didge says she can’t as she’s so much work to do. Didge tells him that she’s also agreed to help Kate with her work.

Park: Harry and Kate are wondering why Sophie has a sudden interest in cricket. At that point Callum and Toadie approach with Rocky and Sophie deliberately throws the ball that way. She goes over and she and Callum get talking about how he’s trained the dog. They decide to walk Rocky together and as they’re leaving Didge and Dec arrive with Dec kicking a ball accidentally in Toadie’s path. They run off and start their own game of football. Kate asks Didge if she wants to do some physics. She realises that Didge is tired an offers to leave it, but Didge says it’s ok.

Erinsborough News Offices: Karl is trying to talk Susan out of running the story, but Susan is refusing to listen saying running the story is their best option. Susan wonders what they’ve done wrong to deserve everything. Susan says that she will take the story to Elle as she thinks she’s more likely to run it than Paul Paul overhears this and reminds Susan that he is the owner of the paper.

No 28 - Living Room: Didge calls by for Libby who’s out. Didge is looking for advice on her future so Susan ushers her in.
