• Bailey decides to apply for Paul's educational scholarship
• Chris goes sleepwalking again and Sheila follows, only to find herself hassled by a strange man

Power Road: Sheila tries to speed up as the car continues to follow her, but eventually stops and turns around. Someone gets out of the car, and she's relieved to see that it's Matt, who's checking if she's OK. She explains about Chris and his sleepwalking, and says that she's cold when Matt asks why she's shaking. She then admits that a man was hassling her, but it was too dark to see his face and she just wanted to get away from him. Matt tells her to get in the car and they'll go and find Chris.

No 26 - Lounge: Kate has been up getting a glass of water, as Matt, Sheila and a still sleepwalking Chris come in. Matt explains that they found him down by the lake, and then Chris starts talking about jam and butter. Matt explains that Chris has been talking about croissants, and Sheila snaps that she won't be going out to get him any, before going to bed. Kate wonders why Sheila's so upset, and Matt says that he'll explain later, then he has to grab Chris, who tries to leave the house again. He explains that Bailey used to sleepwalk when he was little, and it's best not to wake someone in that state.

No 24 - Kitchen: The next morning, Rani is finishing cleaning up the house, talking about how tomorrow, she'll be halfway to London. She tells Callum and Bailey how much she'll miss them - Bailey says that she won't have time to miss him much, because soon he'll be joining her in England - Rani isn't sure what to say, but asks if they really spent all night working on Bailey's application. They confirm that they did, but Rani tries to find reasons why it might not happen - Paul could choose someone else, and Bailey's parents might not agree to it. Callum says that, if anyone can do this, it's Bailey.

No 32 - Kitchen: Lauren is surprised that Bailey has already finished his pitch, and Matt reminds him that they haven't discussed this properly yet. Bailey starts to list reasons why he should go, but Matt says that this is more about Rani than anything else. Bailey agrees that she's part of the reason, but studying in the UK would also be useful if he wants a career in the UN one day. Lauren realises that he's really thought this through, and Bailey asks that they support him through the interview, then they can talk about it properly if he's accepted. Bailey goes to get ready for the interview, and Matt asks Lauren if they're really going to let Bailey do this - she replies that they're going to let Paul Robinson kill it for them.

Eclipse Apartments - Paul's Penthouse: Bailey finishes giving his pitch, and Paul is very impressed. Matt isn't too happy about the whole thing, and Paul says that he also found it difficult when his son was away from home, but you have to cut the apron strings at some point. The jibes continue as he says that Bailey is clearly very impressive - which goes against the Turner family mould. At that point, Matt gets up to leave, but Bailey asks him to wait, and tells Paul that he's never going to find someone with the same drive and determination as he has. Paul says that he'll have to confer with Susan and the school board, but at the moment, Bailey's chances look very good. Bailey is extremely grateful, but Paul, with a little smug smile in Matt's direction, insists that the pleasure is all his.

No 26 - Kitchen: Chris is surprised to hear that he was sleepwalking again last night, but Sheila tells him to check his feet, and he sees that they're dirty. Sheila explains that Matt had to bring them home in a police car. Chris admits that he's been taking the sleeping tablets again, but only because he was desperate for a good night's sleep. Karl says that he's going to make a referral for Chris to speak to a counsellor and try to get on top of the sleeping problems - Sheila says that she'll make sure he attends, even if she has to drag him there. As Karl goes to leave, Kate asks if he could have a word with Sheila, as she got quite a fright last night - Sheila, however, insists that she's fine and plays the whole thing down.

No 24: Toadie has brought over some paperwork for Rani to pass on to Ajay, and she says that her dad feels bad about all of this - but Toadie says that it's a great opportunity and he doesn't blame Ajay for taking it. Once Toadie has gone, Rani returns to the cleaning and chatting to Callum, who wants to know why she's so against Bailey moving to London. Rani says that he might not like it, and he won't have his family, but Callum thinks that Bailey has thought it through and is serious. Rani says that this is her adventure and she just wants to start afresh on her own - Callum wishes she would tell that to Bailey before he moves to the other side of the world, and he begins to wonder if she's hiding something, and if she cheated on Bailey in India. Rani doesn't want to talk about it any more, and a frustrated Callum walks out.

No 30 - Kitchen: Kyle is getting ready to leave for work, with Georgia trying to get him to stay a bit longer. He reminds her that not everyone works weird hours like her, and she needs to stop being a bad influence. She suggests that they see a movie later, and is looking through the newspaper when she spots an interview with Amali, and is upset to realise that she's claiming to have writting Letting You Know and is saying that it wasn't written about anyone in particular. Kyle wonders if it's a mistake, but Georgia is fired up about it and decides that Amali isn't going to get away with this.

Lassiter's Complex: Georgia finds Amali sitting outside Charlie's, and asks why she was nice to her face then did something like this. Amali is confused, and Georgia throws the newspaper down and continues to rant, then reads out some quotes from the interview. Amali says that she's never even heard of the West Waratah Star, and she'd never have said something like this - she thinks that her publicist must have issued a press released without permission. She offers to make some calls and blast someone over it, but Georgia is embarrassed and tells Amali to just forget the whole thing, before walking away.

No 30 - Kitchen: Callum is explaining to Toadie and Sonya - who haven't noticed anything themselves - that Rani is behaving strangely, and he shares his suspicions that she was seeing someone else in India, and that's why she doesn't want Bailey to join her in London. Callum is reluctant to take Toadie's advice, that he should tell Bailey what's going on, but Sonya points out that Callum was in the exact same position not long ago - when Sonya saw Bailey and Rani kissing and didn't say anything. Toadie thinks that, although Bailey might not be grateful now, he'll thank Callum in the long run.

Dial-a-Kyle Yard: Amali comes down, looking for Georgia, having been advised that she might be there with Kyle. He says that he hasn't seen her, and she explains that she's had the newspaper print a retraction of her interview, and wanted to let Georgia know. Kyle explains that Georgia was really hurt because that song meant a lot to her when she used to perform it, and it was written about him. Amali says that Paul never told her that Georgia was a singer, and believed that she'd just written the song for the money. Amali's then impressed as Kyle shows her a clip on his phone, of Georgia performing the song.

No 32 - Kitchen: Bailey is putting together a scrapbook of photos of him and Rani, when Callum calls by. He tells Bailey that Rani doesn't want him to go to London, and shares his thoughts that Rani was seeing someone else in India. Bailey asks if Rani actually said that, and Callum admits that it's just his suspicion - Bailey then instantly accuses him of being jealous and not wanting Rani and Bailey to be happy. Callum insists that he's moved on from all that, but Bailey throws him out of the house.

No 26 - Kitchen: Chris arrives home with some apology flowers for Sheila - she says that him staying off the tablets would be apology enough. He thanks her for everything, and says that he'd never have forgiven himself if anything had happened to her. He checks that she isn't suffering from any ongoing trauma, and jokingly says that he has some pills if she can't sleep. Sheila laughs and tells him to get out, but then jumps as Chris slams the door behind him.

No 28 - Lounge: Toadie, Sonya and Nell are saying their goodbyes to Rani, as Susan and Karl wait outside to give her a lift to the airport. Toadie and Sonya tell her to give their love to Ajay, and Toadie jokes about $10 that Ajay still owes him. Bailey then helps the Rebecchis out with the pram, as Rani goes over to Callum to apologise for their argument that morning. She insists that she never meant to hurt anyone, and she hugs Callum, who then leaves. Bailey then comes back with the scrapbook, and Rani realises that she's going to have to be honest with him - she says that she doesn't want him to come to London. Bailey realises that Callum was telling the truth, and asks if she also met someone else in India. Rani admits that there was someone, nothing happened with him, but she did feel a connection which made her realise that she's too young to tie herself down to one person just yet. She hands back the scrapbook and tells Bailey how sorry she is, before leaving for good.

Lassiter's Complex: Amali has arranged to meet with Paul and Georgia - she says that she saw a clip of Georgia singing, and it was amazing, so she wants to give the song back. Paul tries to protest, but Amali wonders why Georgia gave the song away in the first place - Georgia explains that she was forced into it. Amali realises that things between her and Paul aren't going to work out, and tells him that her agent will be in touch. She then hugs Georgia and leaves. Paul is furious with Georgia, who says that she's just happy to have her song back.

Charlie's: Sheila is at work when a man comes in to order a beer, and starts chatting to her. Everything he says reminds her of the man in the car last night, and she throws him out of the bar.

No 32 - Back Garden: Bailey is sitting by the pool, looking through the scrapbook, when Callum comes by to try and sort things out. Bailey says that Callum was right, there was someone else, and asks him to stop pretending to be his friend. Bailey says that this is Callum's way of getting revenge, because Rani didn't choose him, and Callum storms off. Bailey then throws the scrapbook into the pool.
