Power Road: Toadie is lying unconscious on the floor, as are Kathy and Paige who are in the car. Paige slowly comes round and loosens the scarf around Kathy's neck, which has been pulled tight during the collision.

Harold's Store: Matt is asking Amber what she has planned with Daniel that day. Amber is surprised at Matt's question, but says she appreciates it and that she hasn't got anything planned. Lauren joins Matt and Amber, having got off the phone with Lou, and explains that Lou is flying back the following Wednesday. Amber asks how Lou is and Lauren replies that he is well, but a little put out that no one understands him when he talks the native language. She admits that she hasn't revealed that Kathy is in the area as it would be better to tell Lou face to face. Bailey arrives and explains that he has tried calling Kathy but can't get through. Lauren says she is probably in a meeting and advises Bailey not to worry.

Power Road: Paige uses her phone to call an ambulance as Toadie, who is still lying on the ground, screams in agony.

Erinsborough Hospital: Georgia rushes in with several other nurses wheeling Toadie along on a trolley. Karl asks what the situation is: Georgia explains what happened and Karl advises her to be careful as Toadie still has a bullet lodged near his spine from several years ago. Paige and Kathy are also bought in and Paige says that the crash happened because Kathy was having a heart attack. Karl shouts that Kathy will need to be monitored for a possible heart attack and Paige adds that Kathy was also choking as her scarf got caught in the crash and that she had to set her free. Karl sends a frantic Paige away to be checked out.

Harold's Store: Bailey is trying to convince the rest of the Turner family not to laugh at his space camp application photo, pointing out how bad it was. amber reassures Bailey that he will look cute on his application form. Bailey retorts that astronauts aren't supposed to be cute, much to the merriment of the rest of the family. Just then, Sonya arrives and both she and Lauren receive a phone call at the same time.

Power Road: Matt is assessing the site of the crash and is handed Paige's bag. He finds the notebook inside, but doesn't look at its contents. Delving further into the bag he discovers the bottle of pills and reads the label to discover that they belong to Kathy. Naomi, who is walking past, calls out to Matt and asks what happened. He explains that Kathy and Paige were involved in the accident and that he isn't sure if they are hurt, but that the medics were more concerned about Toadie. Naomi looks horrified as Matt is unable to reassure her of Toadie's condition, adding that Toadie is at the hospital.

Erinsborough Hospital: Karl is informing Lauren and Bailey that Kathy is in a critical condition as she did have a heart attack. He adds that they need to work out what damage has been done to the heart and whether they can fix it. Lauren is surprised as she wasn't aware that Kathy had any ongoing medical issues. Karl says that Kathy was very lucky that Paige was there as Paige called the ambulance and freed Kathy's caught scarf. He adds that if Paige hadn't been there, Kathy may not have still been alive. At that moment, Georgia bustles out and urges Sonya to follow her, explaining that Toadie is just out of X-ray. Sonya rushes over to Toadie, and asks how he is feeling. He says he feels as though the hospital is being stingy with the medication. Georgia promises she will check with the doctor to see if Toadie can have anything else. Sonya asks what is causing the pain: Georgia says that they are waiting for results back on tests conducted on Toadie's spine and that they have to be careful because of the bullet being so close to the spine. She adds that Toadie is having difficulty moving his legs and that it is possible there has been a spinal injury.

Erinsborough Hospital: Paige is sitting on a bed when Lauren enters the room, asking how she is feeling and thanking her for helping Kathy. Paige asks where Kathy is and Lauren replies that she is in the operating theatre and probably will be for a while yet. Lauren confesses she is struggling to make sense of it all, because it seems to have just come out of nowhere. Sitting on the bed, Lauren asks Paige to tell her exactly what happened and Paige explains that she and Kathy were on a drive to meet a client for the new shop and all of a sudden Kathy was clutching her chest and unable to breathe, causing the collision as a result. Lauren wonders if anything else happened to stress Kathy out and breaks down crying, revealing that the last time she spoke to Kathy, she had words with her about Paige and doesn't want that to have been the last time she gets to speak to her. Lauren apologises, pointing out that Paige has also been in a car accident: Paige assures Lauren that she will be alright. Lauren asks Paige is she has phoned her parents to tell them what happened, but Paige replies that they are still overseas. Paige promises to call them later, adding that she doesn't see herself sticking around for much longer anyway.

Harold's Store: Amber, who is busy working, is being followed around by Bailey, who says that Karl said Paige probably saved Kathy's life. Amber asks if he considered Paige may have caused the heart attack in the first place. Bailey is not impressed by Amber's response, but just then Susan comes in carrying a bunch is flowers and saying she thought Amber and Bailey would have been at the hospital. Amber replies that she is covering for Lauren, and Bailey is now going to take over from her. Susan points out they should get back there and says that if Amber will give the flowers to Sonya, she could stay and look after Harold's. Amber accepts and says that Margie will be there soon anyway. Susan reassures Bailey she will be fine and that she will explain the situation anyway if anything difficult comes her way. They thank Susan and race off. As they leave, Naomi comes in and asks Susan if she is ready to take orders. She casually asks how Toadie is: Susan hesitantly says she is waiting for news and closes the conversation down by saying she needs to concentrate on the coffee machine so that Naomi gets the latte that she ordered. Realising that Susan won't help her, Naomi heads over to a table, but Susan continues to watch her carefully.

Erinsborough Hospital: Matt asks Karl if Lauren is around as he has both bags belonging to Kathy and Paige. Karl replies Kathy is just about to come out of surgery so Lauren won't be too far away. Matt asks Karl to have a look at Kathy's pills, adding that he found them in Paige's bag. Karl is surprised and Matt asks if something is wrong. Karl explains they are to reduce pain in case of an angina attack, and that when he asked Lauren earlier, she was unaware of it. Matt admits Lauren and Kathy haven't been on the best of terms recently, but asks that if Kathy felt an attack coming on, all she needed to do was take a pill. Karl admits it is not a certainty, but that that would be the idea of the pills. Matt asks where Paige is and whether she could give a statement - Karl tells him where to find her. Just then, Lauren rushes over and hugs Matt; he comforts her and they head off to get a coffee. Karl offers to return Paige's bag to her.

Erinsborough Hospital: Paige asks how Kathy is when Karl brings Paige's bag to her. Karl replies that Kathy is getting the best care and hands over Paige's bag, explaining that Matt brought it in. Paige looks worried, but before she has time to process the fact that Matt had the bag, it falls to the floor. Karl picks up Paige's purse and takes her medical card that drops out, saying he will need to update some details. He is surprised to read that the card lists Paige's surname as Smith. Paige retorts that lots of people use two names and Karl replies he will need to know which name she uses legally so he can ensure her records are accurate. Paige replies she doesn't want to be on any records, but Karl says it is too late as she is already in the system. Paige admits her name is Smith, but says that Karl is bound by doctor-patient confidentiality. Karl accepts that he is, but that if he thinks she is in trouble, he will be able to notify the police. Paige explains she just wants to leave: Karl advises against it, but Paige says if Karl won't get her discharge papers, she will go and get them herself.

Erinsborough Hospital: A little later, Amber asks the Turners how they couldn't know Kathy was sick for all that time. Lauren replies that Kathy is proud, and so probably didn't want to admit she was unwell. Bailey thinks she couldn't have admitted to it because Lauren wasn't talking to her. Matt says they won't know anything until they can speak to Kathy themselves. Just then, Kathy is wheeled past on a trolley and Karl explains to the Turners that the operation went well and that Kathy should make a full recovery. Lauren, Amber and Bailey follow Kathy as Karl says they can see her but that they will need to wait until she wakes up from sedation. Karl pulls Matt to one side and says he maybe should sort out the business with Paige. Matt replies that he needs to be with Lauren, but Karl points out that Paige is in the process of discharging herself.

Erinsborough Hospital: Matt enters Paige's room as she is busy filling out the discharge forms. He asks for a word and that he needs a statement, even though she is desperate to get home. Paige asks if it can wait, but Matt replies if Paige is well enough to leave, she should be well enough to talk. He admits, though, that he can wait until the following day. Matt says he wants to ask just one question to put his mind at ease, and goes on to enquire whether Paige previously knew that Kathy had a heart condition. Paige denies that she knew about Kathy's condition, or the fact that she was on medication until that day. Matt asks how it came about: Paige explains that Kathy asked for her pills and she got them for her. He asks where the pills were and Paige replies they were in Kathy's bag. Matt asks how it is possible, because in the search of Paige's bag, the pills were located there instead. Paige lies that she got them out of Kathy's bag, but realised she needed an ambulance instead, so dropped the pills in her own bag when she reached for her phone. Paige goes on to ask how Kathy is. Matt says that Kathy will be fine and adds that Kathy hasn't said anything yet, but that he will be talking with her very soon. he heads off, leaving Paige to still fill in the discharge forms.

Harold's Store: Georgia is telling Susan about how Toadie, Kathy and Paige are doing. Susan is taking a lot of care over Georgia's order and says it is nice to spoil the customers. Naomi calls Georgia over and asks how Toadie is. Georgia reluctantly says she doesn't know, but eventually is forced to admit that Toadie could have some problems with his spine. Naomi comments that it sounds serious and Georgia replies she is hoping that the results will be ready when she returns to the hospital. Naomi says she has wanted to know, but wasn't sure if it was her place: Georgia reassures Naomi it is still ok to care about Toadie as a friend.

Erinsborough Hospital: Karl is telling Sonya and Toadie that the accident didn't damage Toadie's spine or move the bullet, which is good. He does say, however, that the X-ray showed Toadie fractured his coccyx, and that it will remain painful for a while. Sonya asks how they will manage it and Karl explains that painkillers and lack of pressure on it will do the trick. He tells them that he will get Georgia to organise a donut. Toadie is surprised that he will have to eat donuts, but Karl corrects Toadie, explaining that he meant a donut cushion, as it will be all he will be able to sit on. Sonya says she is grateful that Toadie was not injured more severely and Karl urges Toadie to say if the pain is too much and the medication needs to be changed. Karl heads off after Toadie and Sonya have both thanked him and Sonya says how relieved she is and that she should ring Callum to let him know what happened. They laugh that Callum won't let Toadie forget he has a broken bum. At that moment there is a knock on the door and Naomi comes in, bringing a balloon for Toadie, an awkward look passing between them all. Toadie reluctantly thanks Naomi and, when nothing else is said, she backs out of the room, saying she will leave them to it.

Erinsborough Hospital: Lauren heads over to Paige, saying that she heard she is discharging herself. Paige admits she is because she doesn't like hospitals. she asks how Kathy is and Lauren replies that she came through the procedure well and that she can't wait until she wakes up. Lauren adds she is glad Paige is well enough to leave and says she is sure Kathy will want to thank her for earlier. Paige says she wants Lauren to be ok as she is a good person and she deserves to be happy. Lauren replies Paige is a good person but is pulled away by Georgia, who needs information about Kathy for her file. Paige sadly watches her go.

No 24: Paige arrives home and packs her bags, ready to leave, putting some dollars onto the kitchen counter towards the rent. She picks up her belongings and heads out.
