Lassiter's Complex: Georgia and Naomi bump into each other outside The Waterhole - Georgia notices the bottle of wine and asks Naomi if it's for
a special occasion. Naomi explains that she's having dinner with an ex, but isn't intending to rekindle the flame - she just wants him to give her something that's rightfully hers anyway. Georgia says that there seem to be a lot of
sleazy guys out there today, and explains that she was just hit on by a married man in Harold's, who didn't see the wedding ring as a problem. Naomi agrees that it's outrageous, and she goes, as Georgia's phone rings. Georgia
answers, and it's Sonya, telling her that she no longer needs to babysit...
No 30: Toadie walks into the room and kisses Sonya, as she's on the phone telling Georgia that Callum has volunteered to look after Nell this
evening. Toadie is surprised to hear this. and after ending the call, Sonya explains to him that she just doesn't feel comfortable with Callum and Josie being alone at her place. Toadie thinks that Callum will just invite Josie
to join him anyway, but Sonya thinks that they'll barely get any time to themselves with a baby to look after. Toadie thinks that it all sounds very manipulative, and Sonya agrees, but says that she just isn't comfortable
with her son growing up so fast. As Callum then comes out of his room and announces that he's going to Josie's, Sonya explains that Georgia can't babysit and they need him to step in - but he can have Josie over if he wants to.
 
Eclipse Apartments - Paul's Penthouse: Paul is annoyed to find Daniel hanging his washing out on the balcony and stops him, telling him to just have
his washing sent out for the staff to deal with. Daniel says that he doesn't mind doing his own, and by not using the drier, he's reducing his carbon footprint. Paul doesn't believe it makes any difference, but Daniel thinks that they
could both do more, such as getting bamboo toothbrushes or a worm farm. As Daniel then gets ready to head back to work, Paul asks him how it's going, and Daniel admits that he doesn't feel like he achieved this on his own, as Paul
pulled in a favour with Terese to get him the job.
The Waterhole: Amber is fiddling with her photography gear when Josh comes in and says that he won't be able to help her, as his mum has booked him in
with a sports psychologist to discuss his future. Terese then bursts in, asking Josh why he hasn't left yet, and he quickly goes. Terese tells Amber that she's arranged for someone else to help with the photo shoot - they run through the
brief, and then Daniel arrives to replace Josh as Amber's assistant. At another table, Georgia asks Sheila if she is giving out a strange vibe to men, as a married man cracked onto her earlier at Harold's. Sheila thinks he sounds like a
creep, but as Georgia continues to talk about him, Sheila realises that it's Charles.
 
No 26: Charles has arrived for dinner, and has brought dessert from Harold's. Naomi pours the wine and asks him if he's signed the documents, and
he says that he's still waiting for the green light from his lawyer. He realises that she doesn't believe him, and that she still has a hard time trusting people, but then admits that he's beginning to think that he shouldn't trust
her either, and that she's just manipulating him so he'll sign. She denies this, and Charles says that maybe they should stop worrying about business and have some fun - but the mood is broken as Sheila bursts in, accusing Charles
of being a liar and a cheat. She says that Charles has been trying to get Georgia into bed, though Charles insists that he just paid her a compliment. Naomi orders Sheila out of the house and, ignoring Charles, says that she'll go
and make a start on dinner.
No 26: Charles follows Naomi into the kitchen, saying that he never came onto that Georgia girl. Naomi, however, says that she already spoke to
Georgia earlier, and she knows the truth - but she doesn't care, as he's only cheating on his wife this time, not her. She admits that she has been trying to manipulate him, and she thinks that it's sad that she has to use her body
to get him to talk to her. Charles is silent as Naomi explains that she only took the painting because he told her that it was hers - and if he ever really loved her, then he'll sign the papers. Charles continues to say nothing, and
Naomi realises that he never had any intention of signing the painting over to her. He tries to explain to her that there's nothing he can do, but Naomi says that she'll go and call her lawyer, then she walks into the lounge room
and starts to cry.
No 30: Callum says that babysitting isn't really that bad, but Josie admits that she was hoping that the night would be a bit more 'special'. Callum's
surprise, telling Josie that he thought it would be happening later rather than sooner, though he tells her that he does have the condoms - but then Nell got into his bag and found them, and now his parents know everything. Josie panics
that her mums will find out, but Callum says that, although his parents like to over-involve themselves sometimes, he's sure that they trust him to make the right decision. Josie says that, if they're both ready and they have everything
they need, then maybe, once they've put Nell to bed, tonight could be the night. However, the romantic mood is broken by a terrible smell coming from Nell - and Callum sends Josie to get some gloves!
 
The Waterhole: Amber is struggling with her brief for The Waterhole publicity shots, as everything she does just turns out to be dull. As Daniel tells her
to take a break, he starts throwing nuts in the air, and catching them in his mouth. Amber starts to take his photo, which gives her an idea...
The Waterhole: Amber has put Daniel behind the bar, throwing around a cocktail shaker and serving up drinks.
The Waterhole: Amber is looking through the shots, delighted at the results. Daniel says that she's a great photographer, but she thinks that it was his modelling that
made the shots great. He then admits that he's really struggling to care about his job at the hotel - Amber asks why he's bothering then, and he says that it won't be forever, and in the meantime, he gets to help Paul.
Eclipse Apartments - Paul's Penthouse: Paul is annoyed when Terese buzzes up to the apartment, and Daniel lets her in. Daniel doesn't see the problem,
and he sits with Paul and reports that he actually enjoyed work today. The lift then opens and Terese marches in - Paul assumes that she's come to hassle him about something, but she actually says that she wants to compliment Daniel on
his work today. Paul is pleased to hear that his nephew is the new face of The Waterhole, and even more pleased when Terese offers Daniel a new role as a trainee manager. Daniel isn't too keen on the idea, and asks for some time to think
about it, but after seeing the look on Paul's face, he agrees to take the job.
No 26: Toadie and Naomi put their demands on the table, but Charles says that, if the painting were his, he'd happily sign it over, but it belongs to
the family trust. Naomi is annoyed and Toadie threatens to go to the press, and Charles says that his children don't need the trauma - also pointing out that he can afford excellent lawyers, which Naomi cannot. Toadie says that he's
representing her free of charge, to which Charles asks if she's sleeping with him. Toadie says that he just doesn't want to see someone being treated so unfairly, and tells Charles that they'll see him in court. He then finally gives up
and says that he'll go and speak to Polly. As he leaves, he tells Naomi that he honestly did care about her.
Harold's Store: Daniel tracks down Amber, telling her that now he's been given a promotion, and it's all her fault. Amber apologises, but asks why he
doesn't just turn it down, but he explains that the only time Paul isn't sitting and worrying about Kate, is when he's thinking about work.
 
Eclipse Apartments - Paul's Penthouse: Toadie and Naomi are in the lift going up to Paul's apartment - Toadie has just finished a call and reports
to Naomi that if she drops the case, then Polly will drops the charges against her too, but the Tranners won't give up the painting. Naomi tells Toadie to accept the offer, saying that it's worth a $60,000 debt just to never see
Charles again. The lift doors open and Paul asks what's going on - Naomi explains that he won't be getting the painting back, but says that Toadie will draw up a payment plan so she can repay her debt. Paul then says that he'd like some
time to consider his options and as she and Toadie leave, Paul grabs Naomi and says that he might have to come up with a more creative way for her to pay him back.
The Waterhole: Toadie and Sonya are trying to reassure Naomi, who realises that now she needs to go and tell her mum what's happened. As Toadie
and Sonya sit down, Naomi walks over to Sheila and tells her that she was right about Charles. Sheila says that she isn't surprised - but she is sorry. She says that she's also sorry for bursting into the house earlier, but Naomi
cuts her off and says that it isn't her fault - Charles was never going to cut Polly out of his life, and she's just been too dumb to see it until now. Sheila says that love makes fools of the best of people, but next time, Naomi
should find a nice, stable bloke who's going to treat her right. Naomi then looks over at Toadie and smiles at him.
 
No 30: Toadie and Sonya arrive home, finding Callum lying on the couch, depressed that Josie went home as she was so grossed out by Nell. Georgia
then walks in, declaring that she's just had a great night out with her nursing friends, and as she and Callum talk about who cancelled the babysitting, the truth finally comes out, and Callum realises that his mum set him up so that
he and Josie wouldn't get the chance to be alone. Sonya admits that she was just uncomfortable with the idea, and Callum is annoyed, after he and Josie tried to be open and honest about everything, that she would do something like
this.
