No 30: Toadie and Callum are making breakfast, as Sonya wanders out and joins them in the kitchen. All three are clearly
exhausted, and Elliott continues to cry in the background. Sonya apologises to Callum, and Toadie wonders if the baby is sick - Sonya admits that his temperature is a little high, though she's not too keen on the
suggestion of getting Karl involved. Toadie points out that they'd be straight to the hospital if it were Nell, and despite her fears that social services might end up getting involved, Sonya agrees to take
Elliott to see a doctor.
Erinsborough Hospital: Karl and Georgia are checking Elliott, and he's asking her if she's ready to be back at work - she insists that she'd
rather keep busy than be worrying about Gem's whereabouts. Karl then goes outside to talk to Sonya, who runs through Elliott's symptoms again, and Karl admits that he can't really do any further tests without permission from a parent
or guardian, and that they have a responsibility to report a child who's been left on their own. Sonya says that Jacob made her the guardian and she gives her permission for the tests to go ahead, but Karl explains that they'd need to
hear that from Jacob, even by email if necessary. Sonya goes off to try contacting him, and Toadie then receives a text message from Maryanne, Jacob's mother-in-law, saying that she and her husband are arranging flights and will be there
soon.
No 30: Bailey and Callum are talking about Gem, and how nobody made any complaints against her, so the police aren't doing much to track her down. Callum can't
believe everything that went on in his absence, and mentions that his parents even forgot to pick him up from the airport. Bailey then spots a pile of stuff by the door and Callum explains that they're Gem's things for her mum to collect. Bailey
wants to go through them, as there might be a clue as to where Gem's gone. Callum refuses, but Bailey starts looking anyway, as he doesn't think it's fair that she should get away with using people like this. He then finds her diary - Callum says
that he wants no part of this, but Bailey says that Gem used him and he needs to know why.
 
Ramsay Street: Bailey walks out of number 30, and then sits on the wall and starts reading Gem's diary. He's surprised as he reads that Gem did like and respect him,
and how scared she was of losing him when she made him hack into Kate's email account.
Erinsborough Hospital: Jacob has sent an email, giving Sonya temporary guardianship, and she's signing some permission forms. Toadie wonders why Jacob can send an
email, but he can't call and explain his actions - Sonya thinks that he's probably on his way back now. Georgia then tells them that Elliott's temperature has dropped and his heart rate has improved, and she'll be back when there's more news. Toadie
then tells Sonya that he understands why she has so much faith in Jacob, but he doesn't share that, which is why he contacted Hannah's parents last night. Sonya is furious with him, and even more annoyed to learn that they're on their way up from
Adelaide. She tells Toadie to get their number and grabs his phone from him.
 
No 32 - Back Garden: The Turners are now playing basketball, and Mason suddenly asks his dad if there's any news about Gem. Matt says that no formal complaints
have been made about her, but Mason thinks that the people of Erinsborough deserve to know if there's a psycho loose on the streets. Bailey jumps to Gem's defence, but Matt and Lauren remind Bailey that Gem is still very unwell and that he was as
much a victim of her as anyone. The game continues, but Bailey receives a text message from Gem, asking where they can meet. He calls Callum and asks if he can cover for him, then slips out of the garden.
Erinsborough Hospital: Jacob admits that, while he was away, he couldn't stop crying - Sonya reminds him that he's barely had a chance to grieve for Hannah, so it's
understandable. He explains that thinking about Hannah made him realise how wrong he was to leave without Elliott, and how angry she would have been with him. He admits that, on some level, he must have blamed Elliott for the loss of Hannah. Sonya says
that he came back, and that's the most important thing, because not everyone does. She then breaks the news that Toadie contacted Hannah's parents, but she insists that everything has worked out for the best now, and Jacob has nothing to worry about.
 
Erinsborough Hospital - Exterior: Georgia, still mulling over her argument with Sonya, wanders outside and sits on a bench. As she looks over her shoulder, she's surprised to see
her car parked nearby. She walks over and finds the door open and the keys on the front seat. She looks around, nervously, but doesn't spot Gem, watching her from the bushes.
Erinsborough Hospital: Karl is in a consultation room, practising his speech in the mirror, when Gem comes in and tells him about her car. She admits that she feels silly for being
so scared of her own cousin, but Karl says that it's understandable, and he goes to call security. He notices Georgia's face and asks if she's OK with that, and she says that yes, Gem needs help, so Karl goes ahead and makes the call.
Sonya's Nursery: Bailey arrives and starts calling Gem's name. She suddenly appears in front of him and says that she wanted to be sure that he was by himself. He says
that he's been worried about her, and that he realises that a lot of bad things have happened but nobody's even heard Gem's side of the story yet. She asks after Georgia, and Bailey explains that she's fine now, and she wasn't badly injured - it was just
the gas that kept her knocked out. Gem doesn't understand, as the gas wasn't even on, and she wonders if everyone is blaming her - she explains that they were arguing, then Georgia fell and hit her head, so she went to get help but then she freaked out
when she heard the sirens. Bailey tells her that he believes her, and Gem is grateful for his support.
 
Charlie's: Toadie and Callum are preparing to order dinner, but Callum asks if they should wait for Sonya. Toadie says that Sonya will be along later and said to start
without her. An unimpressed Callum says he'll have a burger, Toadie offers to add fries and onion rings, but Callum accuses him of using food to buy him off. Toadie insists that there's nothing to worry about, and that them forgetting to pick Callum up
from the airport was something that will never happen again. Matt and Lauren then walk in, and wonder where Bailey is, as he claimed he was having dinner with Callum and his family. Callum is then forced to own up about where Bailey really is.
 
Sonya's Nursery: Gem tells Bailey that he's the only one she can rely on, but he then says that she shouldn't have run away like that. She tells him that nobody would
have believed the truth, so she had to show Georgia what Kate and Kyle are really like. She realises that Georgia would never believe her, but Bailey then produces Gem's diary and says that Georgia should read it. Gem is stunned that Bailey read her
diary, but he thinks that everyone should see it, so they can understand and so she can get help. He says that she needs to get better, but then she turns on him and stands over him, saying that he's just a child and why would she ever want anything
from him...
