Kyle offers to get them both and heads off.

She doesn't, however Matt begins guessing that Lauren has a problem with the things that he doesn't do for her.

Kate takes it away.

No 26: With the photos on the table, Kate, Kyle and Chris plan getting the photos to the exhibition. Kyle goes off to get towels to protect the photos, whilst Chris asks Kate why she is so stressed about the event. He quickly realises the reason is that it is Georgia's event.

Chris tells Kate that, if she must feel guilty, doing something positive is a good thing, although she should stop feeling guilty and move on.

Charlie's: Sheila is serving Robbo and declares that the only reason she is serving him is because Paul has banned her from banning people. She coldly tells him not to choke on it. Robbo wants to know what Sheila's problem is, but she walks away. At that moment, Lucas comes in. Lucas tells Robbo he doesn't want to play anymore, but Robbo tries to tempt Lucas into another game. Lucas explains he only did it because he had no choice, but Robbo remains unconvinced and describes the "buzz" that Lucas must have felt.
