No 24: Brennan is asleep with his head on the dining table. He has a dream that Sienna is leaning in to kiss him, then wakes up with a start.

The Waterhole: Daniel arrives to have dinner with Paul, bumping into Imogen as she leaves the bar. She complains that he manages to walk into her all the time, and he says that she needs to start looking where she's going. Daniel then sits with Paul and produces a tub of salad, telling Paul that he's looking after him, and has been sneaking healthier foods into his meals, which seem to be improving his mood. Paul says that he'll eat the salad, if, in return, Daniel can shift some boxes up to a cleaners' room on the fourth floor of the hotel. Daniel is very interested to hear that, other than for storage, the room isn't being used...

No 30: Toadie and Sonya are trying to arrange a night out, but he's very busy with work and feels guilty. They then manage to settle on lunch the next day, but Sonya remembers that she was going to check on Brennan, as he seems very upset at the moment, since Nell knocked over a box of Kate's belongings. Toadie is sure that Brennan can cope on his own, and Sonya says that she'll just call in on him before work, leaving her free for lunch. She then goes to check on a crying Nell.

Harold's Store: Amber is closing up the shop, when Daniel arrives. He says that there are still a few shots left on the roll of film they started, and then he wants to develop them immediately, as there's nothing worse than an undeveloped roll of film, apparently. Amber looks unconvinced as Daniel talks about turning the cleaners' cupboard into a dark room, but he manages to persuade her to come and help him during one of her free periods the next day.

No 24: The next morning, Sonya arrives with a freshly-baked cake for Brennan, and he apologises for his behaviour the previous day. She says that it's fine, and that Nell's fine, but she admits that she's worried about him. He clearly doesn't want to talk, and says that he's got some cleaning up to do before Sienna gets back. Sonya asks how he's feeling about Sienna's return, but he still refuses to talk, and thanks her for the cake before showing her to the door. Sonya tells him to call if he needs to discuss anything.

Lassiter's Complex: Toadie is amused, and Naomi is mortified, when they're discussing Paul and her debt to him, and she accidentally calls him 'Moneybags' just like Sheila. She's still wondering how she's going to pay off her debt to Paul, and wonders how much of her stuff she can sell, calling herself an idiot for blowing the lot. Toadie tells her that she isn't an idiot - she just made some bad choices. He says that she'll find a way out of this, as she knows what she wants and how to get it - which is why he likes her so much. She smiles as they get into the car. Nearby, outside the hotel, a distracted Sonya bumps into Matt and he asks if she's OK. She admits that she isn't, and starts to tell him about Brennan...

No 24: Sienna arrives back, and is confused by Brennan's sudden attentiveness. He says that he's trying to make up for his past behaviour towards her - and says that he's been thinking about them and wants to discuss where they take things from here. Sienna is pleased, and Brennan sends her off to unpack, saying that he'll make some coffee and they can have a chat. Once she's gone, Brennan takes her phone from her bag, switches it off and puts it in his pocket.

Lassiter's Lake: Daniel is trying to finish up the roll of film, when Imogen walks by and he shouts 'Don't move'. She freaks out, and he explains that he just needs to get some decent shots to finish the film, and she's flattered when he says that she's 'perfect' and agrees to pose for a few shots.

Eclipse Apartments - Paul's Penthouse: Daniel is on the phone, organising equipment for the new dark room, when Paul arrives home, not very impressed. Daniel assures his uncle that it'll be fine, but Paul then starts nagging him about all of these hobbies he seems to have - skateboarding, surfing, photographer, superfoods - but no real direction in life. Daniel suggests that Paul might want to find a few hobbies of his own, then he might stop stewing over Kate. Paul takes offence at that comment, and tells Daniel that he'll stop stewing when the police start doing their jobs properly - and when Brennan stops getting in the way.

No 24: Sienna sits with Brennan, and he suddenly asks why she's been lying to him - he contacted her work, and she hasn't been fired at all. He then shows her the threatening note he found, explaining that he found it in Kate's things from school. She says that it was a stupid thing to do, but she was upset after finding out about the marriage proposal - she then starts to become hysterical as Brennan gets angrier. Matt then knocks on the door and Sienna starts screaming - Matt pulls Brennan away, and Brennan tells him that Sienna is the one who shot Kate.

Erinsborough Police Station: Sienna is being questioned, and Brennan is waiting for news. Matt tells him that she hasn't confessed, and that Brennan's behaviour could have cost them the whole investigation - Brennan is unapologetic, saying that he's the only one who seems to be getting close to finding Kate's killer. Matt warns Brennan that he's overstepped the line once too often and if anything like this happens again, he'll be charged. Sienna is then brought from the interrogation room, still telling Brennan that she didn't shoot Kate - he isn't sure what to think.

No 24: Brennan arrives home, as the police are leaving with the files he illegally obtained. He thinks over everything that's happened with Kate and Sienna, and smashes everything from the kitchen counter, before slumping to the floor.

Dark Room: Daniel is telling Amber that developing a photo like this, is like waking up and not knowing what the new day will hold. He says that he loved watching his dad develop photos, even though his mum would always come in and yell about him being too close to the chemicals. He says that digital photography is too easy, but Amber points out that her recent internship was anything but easy. She tells Daniel about her old boss, and Daniel thinks that his problems was that he was trying to create moments rather than capture them.

No 24/Harold's Store: Sonya lets herself in, finding a teary Brennan sitting on the floor. She sits with him, and he tells her that he's stuffed everything up. Just then, her phone rings and, from Harold's, Toadie tells her that he's managed to get a lunchtime booking at Neil Perry's restaurant. Sonya explains that she won't be able to make it, as Brennan is very upset, and Toadie attempts to hide his disappointment, whilst in the background, Naomi listens in, secretly pleased. She says that she could cancel the booking, but Toadie tells her that it usually takes months to get a table at Rosetta, and then remembers that they have lunch with a client tomorrow, and maybe Naomi could ring him and ask if it would be possible to change the appointment to today. Toadie heads back to the office, and Naomi makes the call, but just confirms with the client that the lunch is for the following day.

Lassiter's Complex: Naomi returns to the office, after going home to get changed, and tells Toadie that the client was unable to change the meeting, but she decided that they could take the table instead and use it as a pitch meeting. Toadie agrees, but tells her that they shouldn't waste the whole lunch talking about work. They walk off together, as Paul comes out of the hotel and spots Matt sitting outside Harold's. He goes over and asks him about this new development in Kate's case...

Erinsborough High: Imogen runs into Amber, who's rushing to her next class after spending her free period with Daniel. Imogen asks if the photo developing chemicals are messing with her brain, and Amber admits that Daniel did seem to be acting a bit weird today too. Imogen then declares that he's always been weird, and suddenly starts to wonder if it's because he likes her, and he's being weird with Amber because she's her best friend.

Cemetary: Brennan is laying flowers for Kate, when Paul suddenly rushes over to him and tells him to get away from her grave. He says that he's heard about what happened with Sienna, but Brennan simply says that nothing's been proven, and he's doubtful that she actually did it. Paul angrily tells him that no matter what Brennan thinks, every single suspect in this case leads right back to him. Brennan says nothing, and walks away.
