Lassiter's Complex: By the lake, Brad is teaching a yoga class. Chris laughs at Sheila, who is clearly having difficulty with the exercises and Sheila snaps back that Chris is staying out her Zen. Brad asks how Sheila is doing and then notices Tracey arrive at the back of the group. He heads over and Tracey offers an update, although he reminds her he only wanted to meet in private. Just then, Terese stops on the bridge and sees them, having gone out for a jog. She shouts over to ask how the class is going; Brad replies that it is great and she heads off, leaving Brad to warn Tracey not to meet up in public again.

Lassiter's Complex: Outside Harold's, an annoyed Tracey marches over to where Paul is sitting, Paul snapping that she is late. Tracey explains that she has tracked down an ex boyfriend of Sienna and that Sienna wouldn't leave him alone after they broke up and is prepared to go down on record confirming her "bunny boiler behaviour". Paul says that he needs something more solid in order to confront Sienna. Tracey retorts that it isn't the only case she is working, but Paul replies that it should be, as he is paying her a lot of money and that he wants the "bunny boiler" put away.

No 24: Sienna has prepared breakfast as Brennan gets up, wearing only a towel. Sienna says what a nice start to the day it is and they head over to the table. As they sit down, Sienna remembers Brennan's morning routine and comments that it is just like old times, causing Brennan to uncomfortably get up to go and get dressed. As he goes, he asks if Sienna has spoken to either her boss or her housemates. She admits that she hasn't, as she wants to let things calm down first.

No 26: Chris and Sheila arrive home from yoga, Chris still commenting how bad Sheila was, although Sheila says that in her twenties, she could put her legs behind her ears! Heading into the kitchen, Sheila becomes concerned seeing Matt and Naomi sat at the table, but Matt reassures Sheila that he is just telling Naomi that Paul is dropping charges. Surprised, Sheila asks why and Matt replies that someone must have convinced him. Matt heads off and Sheila asks Naomi what she did. Excusing himself, Chris goes to take a shower: Sheila continues to ask Naomi what she did, threatening to find out from Paul herself. Naomi replies that she and Paul just talked and wonders why it has anything to do with Sheila, who explains that she did save Naomi from a fight over the painting. Naomi coolly responds that she appealed to Paul's better nature, although Sheila is unconvinced, pointing out that Paul doesn't have a better nature.

No 22: Brad is in the kitchen when Terese comes in, casually asking who the woman was that he was talking to after class. Brad lies that it was someone thinking of signing up and he goes to head off to a meeting at the gym. Terese tries to persuade him to stay, although Brad insists he has a busy day, brushing off Terese's suggestion of meeting up for brunch.

The Waterhole: Terese orders a strong coffee from Sheila, who makes things awkward by saying how Brad was like a god in the class and that she had heard lots of comments from people. Karl, who is reading a newspaper at the bar, smiles as Sheila describes the class in more detail. Sheila then turns to Karl, telling him that yoga is good for people in their age bracket: Karl tells Sheila that they are in very different age brackets. As Sheila gets back to work, Karl says that Terese must be very pleased with the success of the yoga classes but Terese says it is weird and is surprised to see that the classes have already made it into the "What's On" column of the local news. Sheila returns, explaining it has been a hit with the women - and Chris - and wonders why Terese is having a problem when she seems put out that all the comments about the classes focus on Brad's looks.

Ramsay Street: Susan meets Brennan, who is returning from a run. She invites Brennan over for dinner. He accepts, saying that Kate had mentioned the green curry she had eaten at Karl and Susan's in her early days on the street. Susan replies that they probably need a new menu, but Brennan tells her how much Kate loved the Kennedy family. Spotting Sienna by Number 24, Susan says it must be nice to have some company and admits she doesn't think having Sienna stay is the wrong thing because he is not being disloyal to Kate. When Brennan. Explains that he didn't think of Kate for a while that morning, Susan replies that it shows Brennan is healing and that Kate would want that, as it means Brennan will be happy. She heads off, reminding Brennan to call her about the dinner invite.

The Waterhole: Paul meets Terese and tells her that he wants her to find Daniel a trial position at Lassiter's. She replies there is nothing available as they are fully staffed. Paul persuades Terese by saying that it is only for a trial period and that he will take care of his wages. Terese suggests Daniel start straight away. Getting up, Paul walks over to the bar as Sheila marches over to him, trying to find out why he dropped the charges against Naomi. Paul explains that it was a business decision and Sheila furiously says if he has done anything untoward, she will do anything she has to do in order to protect Naomi. Paul sarcastically replies that it is too late to be playing mother of the year: Sheila orders Paul to leave.

No 26: In the back garden, Naomi is relaxing in the spa when Paul heads over, saying he is there because he owns the place. Naomi replies that if he is there as a landlord, he needs to give notice, but Paul brushes her off, asking why Sheila is under the impression that they spent the night together. Naomi insists she didn't tell Sheila anything; Paul explains that he doesn't want his reputation tarnished. Surprised, Naomi points out that Paul did try it on with her the previous night and stands by her decision to report Paul to the police if he didn't drop the charges, lying to them that Paul did know that the painting was stolen. Naomi asks Paul if there is anything else. Defeated, he heads off, leaving Naomi in the spa.

No 24: Sienna is making herself at home, having bought new cushions and a throw for the sofa. She shows them to Brennan just as Susan arrives: Brennan introduces the two of them. Susan hands Brennan a box of Kate's things from school and explains that she has spoken to Sophie and that Brennan can keep anything he wants and to give the rest to Paul. She heads off, urging Brennan to get in touch if he needs anything. Brennan sits down and looks at the box, telling Sienna that the contents can wait when she offers her help to look through it. He goes to take a nap instead.

Lassiter's Complex: In a quiet corner, opposite the police station, Tracey and Brad meet up, Brad pointing out that they need to be quick. Tracey explains she has spoken to a doctor and two nurses at the clinic where his daughter was, but couldn't find anything out. Brad asks what they should do next and Tracey suggests she go up north to check out motels in the area for couples that stayed there at the time. She points out that it will cost a lot, as the process will take time because the only records will all be paper ones. Brad gives the green light and the two walk into the main part of the complex, bumping immediately into Terese, who says her meeting was cancelled. She asks what Brad is up to and Tracey hurriedly explains she had a private yoga class. Terese suggests lunch, but Brad scurries off, telling her that he has a yoga class to prepare for later that afternoon.

The Waterhole: Naomi hurries over to Sheila, asking when she is going to stop interfering. Naomi wonders how Sheila could think she would spend the night with Paul: Sheila retorts that some men think that way and adds that Naomi does have form. Sheila finishes by stating that the only reason she hasn't heard from Charles Tranner is that he is not still under Naomi's spell. Suddenly thoughtful, Naomi leaves.

No 26: Stripping off in the lounge room, Naomi takes a photo of herself on her phone. Suddenly, Chris arrives home for lunch, causing much embarrassment to both parties. Naomi pretends that the light isn't good enough in her room for photos when Chris asks why she is in the lounge and sarcastically tells Chris to be thankful he didn't walk in on Sheila! Horrified, Chris tells her not to give him mental images like that and leaves, saying she obviously needs the house to herself! Naomi takes a few more pictures after he has gone.

No 24: Brennan gets up, although he admits to Sienna he didn't really sleep. She tells him she has reconsidered the cushions and that they are not really the right colour, urging him to look through Kate's things in the hour it will take her to return them to the shop. Reluctantly, he walks over to the box. Inside, he finds photos of Kate and Paul, Jill Ramsay, Kate and himself as well as a diary, inside of which an entry that simply says "Back with Mark. Best day ever!"

Lassiter's Complex: Susan and Terese both turn up for Brad's second class of the day, Terese saying that she could recommend the class to hotel guests and adding that she wants to spend time with her gorgeous husband. Susan warns Terese jokingly not to flirt with the teacher and tells her that she knows what she is up to: making sure all the other women don't get too friendly with Brad.

No 26: Sheila arrives home and asks Naomi, who is making tea in the kitchen what she is up to. Naomi replies that she isn't doing anything, but Sheila is unconvinced as she had a cryptic message from Chris when she ran into him at Lassiter's. Just then, Charles sends Naomi a message, saying he wants to meet up that afternoon and will sort everything out with the painting then. Sheila tells Naomi not to get her hopes up when dealing with "that snake" and can't understand why Charles didn't make contact sooner, highlighting the fact he must have already been in Australia as he wouldn't have been able to make the journey back from Antarctica in one afternoon. Naomi dashes off to find something to wear, saying that Charles must finally have seen sense.

No 24: Sienna returns with new cushions. She asks how Brennan went with the task of looking through Kate's belongings. He admits that he didn't get very far because it was all too much, explaining again that he hates himself for not always thinking about Kate. Sienna tells him that he shouldn't feel bad about hurting a little less and urges him to take each day as it comes. Brennan tells Sienna that he is glad she is there, Sienna replying that she just wants to make him feel better. They lean towards each other on the sofa and begin to kiss.
