Power Road - Bric a Brac Shop Exterior: Mason is leaving the bric-a-brac shop, putting some money in his pocket, when Lucas spots him. He realises what Mason was doing,
and Mason explains that he just needed a little cash to tide him over until payday. Mason jokes about not spending it before he's earned it, and then comments that money seems to bring out the worst in people. Lucas asks how bad the situation is, but
Mason insists that it's fine. Lucas says that he'd love to help, but he's in a bit of a tight financial spot himself.
Robbo's Squat: Robbo is setting up for another poker game, when Mason comes by and gives him some money - less than $100 - from selling his watch. Robbo isn't impressed,
and suggests that Mason needs to start using a few tricks to get the money - Mason says he considered breaking the law again, but realised that he's not that guy anymore. Robbo says that he's going to start adding interest soon. A guy then arrives for
the poker game - Robbo sends him out the back, and warns Mason to hurry up and get the money. As Robbo goes to speak to the other guy, Mason spots Robbo's laptop - he starts to walk over to it, but Robbo spots him and says that he isn't stupid enough
to leave the incriminating video on there.
 
Charlie's: Susan is helping Toadie and Sonya to set up for Callum's birthday party, with hats and balloons and lots of pictures of Callum as a wrestler. They wonder who
Callum's mystery female guest is going to be, as he's been very cagey about it. Across the room, Callum and Bailey arrive, and Bailey is trying to tell Callum not to pin all his hopes on Imogen, and that his family is more important. Callum calls him lame,
and then is unimpressed by the childish decorations, explaining that he'd hoped for something more sophisticated. He's then even more disappointed when Imogen sends him a text saying that she can't make it - Toadie and Sonya are surprised to learn that
Imogen was the mystery woman, but assure Callum that they can all still have fun.
Fitzgerald Motors: Harry - the guy who was at Robbo's poker game earlier - arrives to see Lucas. They haven't seen each other in a while, but Harry still owes Lucas some
money and wants to pay the debt. Lucas wonders if Harry can afford it, but Harry explains that he got lucky on a poker game earlier - he tells Lucas that it's happening at the old radio station, and he can vouch for him if he wants to join. Lucas seems
tempted, but says that he's moved on from his gambling days.
Harold's Store: Vanessa has been using the oven for her cupcake business, and Lauren is looking after Patrick, when Lucas arrives to collect them, apologising for
being late. Vanessa is experiencing some pains, and Lucas tries to tell her that she should be taking it easy, so she eventually agrees to take a couple of days off.
 
Charlie's: Susan, Toadie and Sonya are chatting about Karl's return from London, and Lou's trip to Cambodia, when Callum asks how much longer he needs to sit
through this. Sonya rushes off to get the cake, while Callum takes Bailey to one side, still wondering why Imogen changed her mind. He shows Bailey the text, which says 'You're a great guy, but I didn't realise about the dinner' and starts to
wonder if Bailey knows something about it. Bailey admits that he said something to Imogen, and the boys start to argue, but are interrupted by Sonya returning with the cake. Callum asks when they're all going to stop treating him like a kid,
and he walks out.
No 30 - Lounge: Callum is lying on the couch, and Toadie sits with him, telling him that Sonya is pretty upset about what he did. He points out that, for someone who wants
everyone to treat him like an adult, he's behaving a lot like a kid. Callum blames Bailey for the whole thing, and suspects that he deliberately sabotaged things, like he ruined his relationship with Rani. Toadie says that Imogen is a year older, which
is a lot when you're a teenager, but Callum thinks that, if he could just have shown her how mature he is, and if everyone would stop butting in, then he could have won her over.
No 32 - Kitchen: The next morning, Lucas is showing the estate agent, Gary, around, preparing for another open inspection at the house. Gary wanders off, and Lucas
asks Lauren if she could stay and help out, as they're expecting quite a few prospective buyers.
No 32 - Kitchen: A little later, Lucas is frustrated as nobody has turned up. Gary explains that sometimes you need time to build up interest before the auction, but
Lucas says that he doesn't have time, he needs to settle on the apartment on the same week as the auction. He's also frustrated that, after all the work he did on the house, it's still worth less than what he paid for it. Gary says that, with the
market the way it is at the moment, Lucas might have no choice but to lower the reserve price.
 
Erinsborough High - Corridor: Bailey helps Josie with some papers she's dropped - Callum then comes over, still annoyed with Bailey for interfering. Susan comes over, and
Callum reluctantly apologises to her for the previous night, but refuses to extend the apology to Bailey, who leaves. Susan warns Callum to be careful of how he's treating people, and he sarcastically thanks her. Josie then approaches Callum with a birthday
gift - he immediately assumes that Bailey put her up to it, and throws it back at her. He walks off, leaving Josie slightly confused.
Harold's Store: Mason asks Toadie what the legal position would be if he wanted to change his statement about the Lassiter's robbery - Toadie thinks it's a terrible idea
to even contemplate it, and wonders if Robbo has something over him. Mason says that he's just trying to protect his family, and Toadie tells him that the best way of doing that would be to tell the truth and get Robbo sent to prison.
Erinsborough High - Classroom: At the end of class, Callum goes over to Bailey, asking why he tried to interfere again. Bailey thinks he's still talking about Imogen,
but Callum says it's about Josie Lamb. Bailey has no idea what he's talking about, but Callum says that Bailey must have set it up, as she'd never have known it was his birthday, or that he needed that Dragon Prophecies expansion pack. Bailey still denies
knowing anything about it, and suggests that Callum needs to get over this.
 
Lassiter's Hotel - Exterior: Mason is seeing off a hotel guest, when Robbo approaches him, and says that he needs more money, by tomorrow. Paul watches from inside as the two
men discuss the situation, then goes outside and asks Mason what's going on. Mason doesn't want to talk about it, but Paul reminds him that he wiped out his debt to Robbo, and if there's something else going on now, he needs to know. Mason then admits that he
needs Paul's help.
Charlie's: Mason has explained the situation to Paul, who says that there's no point in paying Robbo, as he'll just keep on with the blackmail. He says that they need to
be smart about this. Mason explains that Robbo is holed up at the old radio station, where he's running his dodgy card games, and also confirms that he hasn't told anyone else about this, not even Kate. Paul admits that he'd probably have handled it the
same way, if it was his family being threatened like this, and agrees to help, but asks Mason to buy him some more time. He then sends Mason back to work, and calls Marty Kranic, telling him that he's got a job for him.
No 30: Toadie returns home, to pick up his wallet, and he and Sonya discuss the situation with Callum, hoping that he's just being a normal teenager and things will improve.
Sonya shows Toadie her witness statement for court, and admits that she'll be glad when all this is over. Toadie tells her that he's proud of how strong she's being, and assures her that Robbo is going to get what he deserves.
Erinsborough High - Corridor: Callum approaches Josie, asking why she went along with Bailey's plan, but she says that Bailey had nothing to do with it. Callum then realises
that she also plays Dragon Prophecies, and they've been playing together for months. She says that he hasn't been on there in a while, and she misses him. She then hands over his gift, and leaves, and Callum wonders what just happened.
Harold's Store: Lucas is surprised to find Vanessa and Patrick at the store, after she agreed to take it easy. She insists that she's fine, and asks about the inspection - shocked
to realise that nobody turned up. She starts to worry about the whole thing, and says that she couldn't have fallen pregnant at a worse time. Lucas insists that he'll take care of all three of them, and says he has a plan to call in all of the money he's owed, which
will tide them over for a little while.
 
Robbo's Squat: Harry leaves the game, and meets Lucas outside, admitting that he was surprised to get his call. He tells Lucas that it's $500 to buy in, then he leaves, saying that
he knows his own limits. Lucas then goes inside...
