Lassiter's Lake: Daniel is telling Paul about how he's travelling around the country, though his parents would prefer that he settle down and
find a career. They talk about Daniel's sister, Madison, and Paul admits that he hasn't been very good at keeping in touch lately, though Daniel forgives him. Daniel then offers his condolences about Kate, and apologises for camping
in the place where the shooting happened - Paul insists that it's OK, and to just ignore people like Imogen Willis. Daniel says that she seems a bit intense - Paul replies that it's a trait that runs in the family. He then invites
Daniel to come and stay at the penthouse, but Daniel says that he's happy in the car, and he'll only be around for a few days. They then both hop in the car so they can take a trip to Ramsay Street and see where Scott and Charlene
first met.
Harold's Store: Imogen spots Bailey and Callum working and tells them that they'll be late back to school. She explains that she was given
the day off, after her ordeal with Montague. Callum says that he was offered the same, but turned it down - Sonya then comes in and asks her son why he always leaves his school work until the last minute. Bailey decides to head
off, and Sonya sits down with Callum, checking that he wasn't up all night working on this essay. He tells her not to freak out, and leaves - Imogen then sits with Sonya and asks if Callum is coping after everything that's
happened. Sonya admits that she doesn't know - Imogen says that she's spoken to her counsellor, and maybe Callum is finding his own way of coping. She then jokes that they could try burning sage to invite positive energy in,
telling Sonya about Daniel and how she definitely isn't a fan of his.
 
Ramsay Street: Paul is photographing Daniel, who's on his skateboard outside number 26. He says that he wants to get a few shots to send to his
dad, and almost runs down Karl and Susan in the process. Paul introduces them, and Susan tells Daniel that they knew his grandmother, Madge. Paul tells them that Daniel's on a trip around Australia, then he has to head off for a
meeting - Daniel calls after him and asks if he has a washing machine in the penthouse, but Paul smugly says that he has staff to do that. Daniel watches him go, and says that he seems to be very caught up in his work. Susan says
that he always is, but even more so since Kate died.
Warrinor Prison: Hudson is happy to see Chris, and asks about his knee. Chris reports that it's getting better and he should be able to go back to
work soon - Hudson then asks how things are going, and Chris says that he's still struggling to get his head around what happened to Kate. Hudson apologises for not being there for him recently, and Chris asks whether Hudson's had any
more problems, since the fight. Hudson says that he hasn't, but then takes Chris's hand and says that he's missed him - Chris awkwardly changes the subject, showing Hudson the stuff he's brought for him, and wittering on about how they
wouldn't let him bring in some DVDs. Hudson realises that something's not right, but Chris takes his hand and says that he just wants to help.
Erinsborough Community Centre: Imogen is walking past the community centre, talking to her mum on the phone, when she almost gets knocked down by
Daniel on his skateboard. She's furious, and he checks that she's OK, before trying to leave. Imogen says that he can't just walk away like that, and reminds him that there are rules about skateboarding in public places - but clearly
Daniel thinks that he's above the rules, because he's a spoilt Robinson. She asks him when he's leaving - he says that he'll be around for a couple more days, so Imogen tells him to stay out of her way until then.
 
Harold's Store: Susan runs into Sonya, and asks if she can have a word about Callum. She explains that, rather than handing in an essay today, he
handed in an app, a game he'd designed, and Susan only just managed to convince the teacher not to fail him. She tells Sonya that the game was about a school hero, who gets attacked by bullies, and they wonder if this was Callum's
way of coping after what happened with Stephen Montague.
No 30: Sonya talks to Callum about the app, asking what he was thinking about when he came up with the idea. He tells her that he started it ages ago,
and then last night he suddenly got all these ideas to finish it, and ended up doing it instead of the essay. Sonya wonders if it's because of what happened with Montague, and whether he wanted to lose himself in a 'superhero fantasy'
though Callum isn't sure that's what he was doing. He says that he was scared at the time, but now he just thinks that Montague was seriously messed up, and even though he did bad things, he doesn't hate him. He admits that the app
was a good distraction though, and Sonya thanks him for his honesty. After Callum then mentions that the app is called Super Cool Chick, Sonya becomes interested and, once Callum's gone, she goes to look it up on her iPad.
No 26: Chris thanks Georgia for the lift home, and he decides that he's just going to take it easy for the rest of the day. Georgia decides to join
him, and admits that she's worried about him. Chris says that he had to make a choice, and he chose Hudson, but Georgia says that he's clearly still thinking about Will. Chris admits that he is, and that Hudson is stuck in prison,
beating himself up because he can't be supportive. He asks Georgia if she has a way to fix this, without anyone getting hurt, as he has no idea.
No 30: Sonya is attempting a high score on Super Cool Chick, as Lauren arrives at the door. Lauren is surprised to hear that Callum designed it,
and Sonya admits that she didn't know he was that creative either, comparing it to Lauren's talents as an artist. She says that designing the game seemed to help Callum, and maybe focusing on her art might help Lauren at the moment
too.
 
Harold's Store: Daniel sits down with Karl, telling him that his mum's talked about the 'famous coffee shop', and they get onto talking about music. Karl
admits that he loves playing guitar, when he was the time, and Daniel says that it's weird that people spend so much time doing things they don't enjoy, and so little time doing the things they love. Georgia then walks in, and Karl
introduces her to Daniel, and says that he should try to convince Paul to include more live music at The Waterhole, as he's got a better chance of talking him into it. Daniel says that he's getting the impression that Paul isn't very
popular, asking if he has anyone else in his life since Kate died. Before they can answer, Georgia's phone rings and she tells the caller that she's pleased to hear from them, and she'll come to see them, if they think it'll help.
Warrinor Prison: Georgia has arrived to visit Hudson, and he thanks her for coming. He says that he needs to know if Chris is OK, and Georgia asks if
Chris knows about this visit - Hudson shakes his head, and Georgia tells him that she really isn't comfortable with keeping secrets from him. Hudson says that Chris doesn't like keep secrets either, and that he owned up about everything,
but Georgia realises that he doesn't know what's going on and is trying to trick her into talking about it. He tells her that he knows that something's not right, but Georgia tells him that, although she can understand how difficult it
must be to be locked away like this, Chris is struggling with it too, and he's still grieving for Kate. Hudson asks if there's anything else going on, and Georgia says that she can't answer that, and tells him to talk to Chris.
 
Harold's Store: Chris is sitting alone, thinking, and he takes out his phone. He's about to delete Will's number, when he gets a text message from
the prison, with a visitation request from Hudson. He sighs, grabs his crutches and leaves. Meanwhile, Lauren thanks Bailey for his help at the store, but asks if he doesn't have anything more important to do, like homework or
hanging out with his friends. She then mentions Callum's app, and Bailey says that he could do the coding for something like that, but he isn't creative enough to come up with the concepts - unlike his artistic mother. Lauren then
mentions that she's thinking about taking an art class, and Bailey encourages her to do it. At one of the tables, Susan and Karl are looking at her options for becoming a celebrant, and she's beginning to wonder if she'll have enough
time to do it properly. Karl says that it's funny how people spend so much time doing things they're not interested in, and so little on the things they're passionate about - Susan is impressed by this, and Karl admits that he got it
from Daniel.
Bar: Paul is on the phone complaining about how the bar isn't ready for the grand opening, as Daniel comes in and says that it looks pretty good to him.
He then asks if the offer of a room at the penthouse is still open, admitting that he's thinking about staying on for a while. Paul is glad to hear that Daniel is finally looking for some stability, but warns him that there'll be no
skateboarding in the penthouse, before officially welcoming him to Erinsborough.
Bar: A little later, Paul is on the phone to Scott, telling him that he's more than happy to give Daniel a place to stay.
Harold's Store: Meanwhile, Daniel is on the phone to Charlene, and says that he isn't sure how long he'll stay, but the rest of Australia
isn't going anywhere.
Bar: Paul tells Scott that Daniel seems like a great kid, but he's just lacking direction.
Harold's Store: Daniel tells Charlene that Paul's going in the wrong direction, making life all about business and grudges, and he needs Daniel around.
Bar: Paul says that Daniel needs him, as he's too laid-back.
Harold's Store: Daniel says that Paul's too uptight.
Bar: Paul says that Daniel lacks focus, and he can help him.
Harold's Store: Daniel says that he can help Paul - scratch the surface and Paul has a heart like anyone else, and Daniel thinks could be really good for him.
Bar: Paul says that he can help Daniel.
Harold's Store: Daniel says goodbye to his mum.
Bar: Paul says goodbye to Scott, and smiles to himself.
 
Warrinor Prison: Hudson marches into the room - Chris is about to get up to greet him, but he just sits down, looking annoyed. He thanks Chris for
coming, and says that this conversation couldn't wait - Chris asks him if there's something wrong. Hudson asks directly if Chris is seeing someone else, Chris hesitates, which Hudson takes as confirmation. Barely giving Chris a chance
to explain things, Hudson says that he always knew this would happen, but he let Chris tell him that he'd always be there and would be waiting when he was released. He gets up and leaves the room, telling a stunned Chris that he's free
now, and to go and be happy.
