Harold's Store: Matt is breaking up boxes for Lauren in the kitchen and tells Chris it’s only because he has been bribed with a roast. Amber asks
if she can invite Daniel and Lauren says yes. Amber leaves as Lucy comes into the store upset. She tells Lauren how she lost her temper with Paul and is feeling bad about it. Lauren asks whether she is upset just because of Paul or
whether it’s something else prompting Lucy to open up to her, telling her that her life is a mess.
Eclipse Apartments - Paul's Penthouse: Daniel is telling Paul that Lucy didn’t mean what she said while Paul is sat on the sofa thinking. Daniel
thinks it’s to do with siblings. Paul says it’s his fault as he picked the fight but he just keeps bringing everyone down. Paul doesn’t want Lucy in Erinsborough even though she is family as he can’t stop thinking about Kate.
Daniel asks how Paul coped losing his leg and when Paul explains, Daniel asks whether he could use the same strategy now but he doesn’t think he can. When Daniel’s Granny Madge died the grief counsellor told his mum to try to “make
room” for the grief and thinks it would be a good idea for Paul to try that.
 
Harold's Store: Lucy admits to Lauren that she took a pregnancy test and it was negative. She was seeing someone named Rico for 6 months. He told her he
was leaving just before she got the flight. Lauren explains how good it is to have support and suggests Lucy confides in her family. Matt and Bailey are discussing Bailey’s space camp application. He looks over to see Alice reading
“the art of war” and looks worried. Matt suggests a pun to make Bailey’s application stand out but he dismisses it, clearly unsettled by Alice’s presence.
Eclipse Apartments - Paul's Penthouse: Daniel lets Karl into the apartment as he is leaving. Karl has come to visit to talk about the fight with Lucy.
He advises Paul to look for the small positives on a day to day basis. After running through a list of things that he might enjoy he starts to get Paul to open up about what he likes. Karl asks what he likes about having his sister here
under normal circumstances and makes Paul realise he needs Lucy.
 
Power Road - Outside Grease Monkeys: Daniel is talking to Amber about Paul; he doesn’t know how much more Paul can take. He wants to see Paul’s spark again
and Amber reassures Daniel that deep down Paul will be glad he is there. Amber says she can take his mind off it all by inviting him along to do some work with her.
No 32 - Back Garden: Amber tells Daniel she has a photo shoot booked by a girl at school who wants some head shots. Daniel tells her he is proud of her and
she will do a terrific job. Matt interrupts them kissing and when Daniel asks about dinner Matt brushes him off leaving Amber looking concerned. Daniel has set up a backdrop for the photo-shoot and walks off to take a call. Whilst he
is gone Amber talks to Matt about his attitude to Daniel earlier. She asks whether he likes Daniel and Matt doesn’t answer but instead tells her he doesn’t think it’s a good idea for Daniel to come to dinner tonight.
Harold's Store: Matt tells Lauren he asked Amber not to invite Daniel. He makes up an excuse as to why, which Lauren agrees with and tells
him she loves how considerate he is.
 
No 32 - Back Garden: Amber’s client turns out to be Alice. Bailey walks in and asks what is going on. Amber tells him it is for her space camp application.
Alice walks off saying that Amber is a genius. Bailey begs Amber to do the same for him and he will pay her double the price that Alice paid. Amber does it for him for free as he is desperate.
Eclipse Apartments - Paul's Penthouse: Paul tells Lucy he appreciates her being here and is sorry. Lucy tells him she is sorry too and walks off upset. Paul asks what is
wrong and she bursts into tears. Paul offers to help. Lucy tells him the story about her ex-boyfriend and how she thought she was pregnant. She tells Paul the reason she came home is because she wanted to do the test with others around her. She wonders whether
it was her last chance to have a baby. Lucy regrets not being there for Paul when Kate died. Paul decides they should go out as it will do them the world of good.
No 32 - Back Garden: The photo-shoot for Bailey is in full swing. It starts off awkwardly but they end up with a great shot and Bailey is really pleased with it.
He thanks Amber and Daniel and walks off happy. Amber tells Daniel that Matt wants the dinner to just be family and she thinks he has a problem with him. Daniel is reasonable about it and Amber explains how she really wants him and her dad
to get along. Daniel receives a text saying Paul is out of the apartment and he and Amber leave to go to find Paul.
Cemetary: Paul stands at Kate’s grave with Lucy, Daniel and Amber by his side. They all look reflective.
 
The Waterhole: Daniel, Amber, Paul and Lucy are having a drink and chatting about Lucy’s arrival. Lauren comes in and asks what they have been doing.
Paul explains and they all have a laugh at a joke Lucy makes. He tells Daniel he is glad he came. Lucy asks whether Lauren wants to join them but Lauren has to get dinner on and asks Amber to come to the bar with her. At the bar, Amber makes
a snide comment about Daniel’s family wanting her around. Lauren and Amber discuss how she thinks Matt doesn’t like Daniel. Lauren tells her she can’t force things and it will take time.
Lassiter's Complex: Bailey is putting the finishing touches to his space camp application, puts it in the envelope and posts it. Alice walks up
to see him post it and tells him the photo shoot was a plan to get Bailey to copy her. She is finding it too easy to win these things and tells him at least the assessors will be entertained as she walks off grinning, leaving Bailey
looking upset.
 
No 32 - Kitchen: Matt comes home and thanks Amber for telling Daniel not to come for dinner. Amber tells him that she has asked Daniel to come over
and starts rambling on until Matt interrupts her to tell her it isn’t Daniel he has the problem with, it’s her! He is disappointed in how she has conducted herself and tells her it is about her behaviour. She tells him how guilty she
feels but Matt tells her that what she did isn’t ok and he can’t pretend he is happy with it just to please her. As Matt walks away Amber is close to tears.
