The Waterhole: The double date is generally going well when Naomi brings up the subject of trees. Sonya happily chats away about her nursery and plants in general, when James, Naomi's date, reveals that he has been exporting various specimens. Sonya is shocked to realise that there is a lot of controversy surrounding James and his company, as lots of koalas have died, and has recently had his environmental certification removed. James points out that most of them died of natural causes, causing Sonya to furiously ask how he sleeps at night. There is an uncomfortable silence as James replies that it was all good for the economy. Naomi steers the conversation onto organic foods: Toadie comments how good organic food is for people's insides. James agrees, saying there are far too may fatties in the country and it is costing the taxpayer millions. Sonya nearly chokes on her drink and another awkward silence ensues.

No 24: Paul explains he wants himself and Brennan to join forces in order to catch who was responsible for shooting Kate. Brennan says they always have wanted the same thing and asks what has changed. Paul explains his investigations are going nowhere and that, instead of both of them chasing the same leads, they could cover more ground working together. Brennan asks how this would work and Paul says he would provide the information he has as well as finance the whole thing, and all he would want in return is for Brennan to keep him updated on the progress so far. Brennan can't believe Paul would put aside all the hostility towards him so they could work together. Paul retorts that he fully intends to make Brennan pay for his role in Kate's death, but his priority at the moment is the person who shot her. Brennan doesn't shake on the deal, explaining he needs time to think things through. Paul urges him not to take too much as they have wasted enough already.

The Waterhole: Brennan is explaining to Sonya the results of his earlier meeting with Paul. Sonya wonders whether Brennan will do it and Brennan replies that he is tempted but finds it hard to believe that Paul is on the level. Sonya retorts that Paul is rarely on the level and warns Brennan to be careful as Paul is likely to have an agenda. She rubs Brennan's arm to reassure him that everything is good, a gesture noticed by Toadie who happens to glance over.

No 32: Bailey offers to chat with Josie outside, although as Jayden is still telling her the same story as before, he tells Bailey to go away. Jayden adds Bailey is like a mosquito that he can't quite smack down. The two continue to argue: Josie tells them to shut up but Bailey rounds on her telling her not to tell him to shut up as she has been all over Jayden. Josie walks off, saying that she is so dumb, and Jayden pushes Bailey onto the couch, calling him a loser before walking off.

The Waterhole: Toadie wonders why Sonya is taking so long at the bar, reminding her that James is there for Naomi not Sonya. Sonya replies that she knows but that James is awful. Toadie agrees, but tells Sonya they can at least help Naomi by rejoining her with the drinks. Naomi brings the topic of conversation onto animals. James runs through a list of animals that he likes, all of which are able to be hunted. Sonya yells across the table that killing animals is not the same as liking them, something that James had written on his Internet profile. She demands to know why he lied and furiously says he is nothing more than a koala and duck murderer. James tells Naomi he likes her, but not the company: Sheila, who has walked up to the table, tells him not to insult her friends. James replies that it is none of her business, calling her grandma. Sheila kicks him out, telling him he is not good enough for her daughter. When James discovers Naomi brought her mother along, he tells her there is something seriously wrong with her and departs. Sonya says good riddance to him as he leaves and Naomi dejectedly heads to the bar.

The Waterhole: A little later, Toadie heads over to Naomi at the bar, explaining that he wanted to double check that she was ok. Naomi replies that she is, despite all the disastrous dates she has had recently. Toadie apologises for the clash between Sonya and James: Naomi explains that was the last thing she has intended. Toadie tries to make Naomi feel better by telling her that James should have been thankful that such an amazing person agreed to go out with him in the first place. Toadie wonders if that was an inappropriate comment, although Naomi assures him that he was just a friend trying to make another friend feel better. Toadie adds that everything will work out fine and the two hug.
