No 26: Kyle is on the phone to the police, as Sheila arrives home and asks what's going on. As Kyle tells the police that the house has
been trashed and money is missing, Sheila explains that she took the money, as the ATM swallowed her bank card. They wonder why the house is in such a mess, but then Bossy comes inside and starts barking. Kyle and Sheila
follow her out to the garden...
No 26 - Back Garden: Kyle and Sheila find Chris lying in the middle of the garden. They think he's been attacked but then realise
that he was just asleep. Chris can't work out how he ended up in the garden, and Sheila goes to phone Karl for some help. She then returns and says that he's on his way, and she and Kyle help Chris into the house.
 
Eclipse Apartments - Paul's Penthouse: Paul is shocked to hear that Mason wanted to get back together with Kate, but she says that his
heart was in the right place, even if she couldn't take him back. She asks that Paul isn't too hard on Mason about this, and Paul says that, as long as Mason does his work to the standards of any other employee, then he
won't have a problem. Kate then asks her uncle about all the charity brochures on the table, and he explains that he's thinking about giving something back to the community. Kate realises that this is connected to Jack
Lassiter, and Paul says that he's just concerned that he won't be able to keep track of exactly where his money is going. Kate suggests that he start his own charitable fund, and Paul says that he was thinking about that too.
No 26 - Lounge: Karl has finished checking Chris, and says that his blood pressure and breathing are fine - he suggests that Chris might
have been sleepwalking. Chris says that he used to do that as a kid, but it's been about 10 years since the last incident. He says that the recent stress might have triggered it, and tells Chris that he'll have to stop
taking the sleeping medication. Chris doesn't think he'll be able to manage without it, but Karl says that in the long-term, this is the best idea.
Lassiter's - Reception: Paul is telling Amali Ward about the planned recording session for the following week, and she says that she's
looking forward to it. She then spots Georgia outside and wants to go and have a word about changing some of the song lyrics, but Paul says that Georgia won't care - she isn't creative at all and is only in it for the
money. Amali's surprised to hear that, but heads off to wait for Paul over at Harold's. Georgia then comes in the other door, and tells Paul that she'd like to talk to him about her song. Paul points out that it's
Amali's song now, and she'll be recording it next week. Georgia says that she has some other songs that Amali might prefer, and tells Paul that this one is really personal - Paul is unsympathetic.
 
Lassiter's Complex: Amali spots Georgia and calls over to her - she says that she knows Georgia doesn't particularly care about the
music, but she thought she should just check something. She suggests some changes to the song lyrics, and Georgia is a little taken aback. Amali explains that she thought she should check, and says that she normally
writes her own songs so she wanted to put her own spin on it. Georgia struggles to know what to say, but Amali takes that as a yes and gives her a hug.
Lassiter's - Reception: A woman, Wendy, is asking Mason about the hotel's wedding package, and he's becoming frustrated with her annoying
questions. She then spots the leaflet with Kyle and Kate on the front and says that's the exact wedding dress she wants - though she'll pull it off better than the model. Mason looks annoyed and snaps at her when she asks
him where she can buy the dress. Paul then appears and asks if there's a problem - he takes Mason to one side, and Mason complains that the woman has been asking him the same questions over and over for the last fifteen minutes.
Paul reminds Mason that he works in hospitality and will have to deal with people like this, then sends him off on a break before going back to speak to Wendy.
 
No 30 - Kitchen: Georgia is explaining to Kyle that she doesn't want Amali to change the song, but she couldn't say no, and she isn't even
sure that she wants anyone to hear the song, as it's so personal. Kyle doesn't really get it, so Georgia asks him how he'd feel if he built something - like a shed - that he was really proud of, then someone came along and
painted it pink. She tells Kyle that the song is about her feelings for him and it took her a lot of time to write it down - Kyle thinks that she should fight for it and tell Paul she wants it back, but Georgia think it's too late.
Lassiter's Complex: Amali is with Paul, looking over contracts, when he has to go and take a call. Kyle then comes over and sits with
Amali, introducing himself as Georgia's boyfriend. Amali is happy to meet him, but is then confused as he tries to talk to her about a pink shed. Paul then returns and sends Kyle on his way, telling Amali that he's a nice
enough guy, but a bit simple.
No 26 - Kitchen: Sheila is doing the ironing, as Chris wanders in, complaining that he still hasn't managed to get much sleep. He says that he's considering
going to the garage to speak to Danni, as he isn't sure that he's going to be able to get himself back on track quickly enough for her. Sheila tells him that she understands, as she once had an argument with someone - her youngest daughter -
and they haven't spoken since. She tells Chris that he may never get the closure he wants with Hudson, but he needs to keep pushing on. She gives him a herbal tea, and tells him to throw away the sleeping tablets. She then finishes ironing a
shirt and asks if it belongs to him - a weary Chris looks at it and says that it's Hudson's.
Harold's Store: Paul finds Georgia, telling her that Kyle just tried to accost Amali. He tells her to make sure that Kyle stays away, and
says that he doesn't understand what Georgia's problem is - she doesn't seem to want to sing, but she doesn't want anyone else to have her songs either, even if it could make her a lot of money. She tells him that it's not
about the money - and it's just about this particular song, as it's important to her. Paul says that he doesn't care - she's no longer able to use the song or talk to Amali about it. Georgia asks if she can sing it when she
performs at Charlie's, but Paul tells her that he owns the song and he doesn't want anyone else to cover it - and if she tries, he'll slap an injunction on her.
 
Lassiter's - Reception: Mason spots the wedding pamphlets with Kate and Kyle on the front, and removes them from the front desk. A guest then
arrives to check in; Mason smiles and asks her for her name. She gives it as Meg Morris and says that standards at the hotel have improved since her last stay. Mason offers her a complimentary upgrade and gives her a room card,
and she's walking to the lift when her suitcase breaks and her clothes spill onto the floor. Mason goes over to help, and she's embarrassed as he picks up one of her bras - she says that they'll pretend that never happened, and
she rushes off to the lift.
Eclipse Apartments - Paul's Penthouse: Kate's having sushi with Paul, and they're listening to Amali's version of Georgia's song - Kate
thinks that Georgia must be really excited about all of this, but Paul says that she isn't and she seems to be scared of success. Kate asks why Paul invited her over - he shows her some paperwork for a proposed educational
scholarship programme, and Kate's impressed, saying that she's proud of him. She asks if that was all he wanted to talk about, but he says that there's something else.
No 26: Sheila, Kyle and Chris are watching TV, as Kate arrives home. Kyle asks her if she's worked things out with Mason, but she says
that she was actually with Paul, and she's definitely not getting back together with Mason. At that, Chris leaves the room, and Sheila follows him into the kitchen. Kate tells Kyle that Paul's given her some documents to
look over, and Kyle decides to go and visit Georgia.
No 30 - Lounge: Kyle apologises to Georgia for speaking to Amali, and admits that he probably confused her by talking about pink sheds.
Georgia thinks it's all hilarious and says that she no longer cares if Amali has her song, as she can watch her own version online, whenever she wants to. They open up the laptop to watch the video, only to find that Paul's
had it deleted.
No 26 - Kitchen: Chris thanks Sheila for the herbal tea, and says that he hopes to get some sleep tonight. Sheila tells him to let
her know if he needs anything at all, and then goes to bed. Once alone - and checking that Kate can't see him from the lounge - Chris removes his pills from the bin, and takes one of them.
 
Charlie's: Kate is showing Paul a list of other scholarships that she's found, to give him some ideas. They spot Mason across the room,
having a drink with Meg, and Paul is about to go over, as he shouldn't be socialising with a guest. Kate stops him, saying that it'll look like she's sent him and it'll make things awkward. They decide to go back to
Paul's apartment, and Mason watches them go. Meg asks him if he's OK, and he asks her if she wants another drink - she, however, suggests going back to her room and checking the minibar. Mason isn't sure, but Meg leaves
a room card, and tells him to meet her up there in 10 minutes.
