Lassiter's Hotel: In the lift, Naomi is speaking through the intercom to someone who explains they are having trouble getting the lift to
work again, whilst Josh is putting his vest back on. Naomi is unconcerned when the voice announces it will take at least another ten minutes to be in operation, and excitedly, she begins kissing Josh again, pulling his vest off in the process.
Number 32: Matt is looking at a message on his phone from Terese asking if there is anything new on their problem. Just then, Lauren arrives
and says she is on her way to the hospital to see Kathy. She asks Matt if the idea to take Paige to see Kathy would be her craziest ever although Matt thinks it would just be risky. Lauren hopes that they can all get along as a
family, as she has been making peace with Kathy and thinks Paige may be able to too. Matt urges Lauren to go with her gut feeling and wonders what the worst thing is that could happen. Lauren jokes it could get ugly on a ward full
of cardiac patients. Matt says that if Paige doesn't want to go, she will just say and Lauren thanks him for being so supportive and adds that it means a lot.
 
Number 24: Brennan returns him and spots Paige on the sofa. He goes to sit next to her and hands over a bag, telling her that he has brought home some movies.
She retorts that they better not be British, sci-fi or anything with the word 'doctor' in them, and looks inside to discover 'Rocky'. Brennan explains they will inspire Paige to start fighting again. Just then, Lauren comes in bringing a bunch of
lilies and telling Paige they were because she was going to be called Lily. Brennan excuses himself to the kitchen to make a start on dinner. Lauren tells Paige she is off to the hospital and has spoken to Kathy, who would like to see Paige.
She adds that she would like them all to work through family issues and is trying not to be pushy. Paige replies that she is being a little pushy and the two laugh. Paige admits that the visit will have to happen some time, and agrees to accompany
Lauren.
Lassiter's Hotel: In the foyer, Sheila is frantically pointing at the lift, urging the mechanic to hurry up as her daughter is trapped inside.
Suddenly, the mechanism starts working and the door slides open. Sheila runs over to check Naomi is alright and comments that it must have been like a furnace inside as she looks so flushed. Naomi admits it was hot; Josh says she
can say that again! Sheila thinks Naomi must have heatstroke and asks if Naomi needs a doctor. Naomi replies that a glass of water would be better, leaving Josh to joke a shower might be needed too! Sheila follows Naomi as she rushes off.
 
Erinsborough Hospital: Brad and Lauren are walking with a worried Paige through the hospital. Lauren, seeing Paige's expression, says she doesn't
have to do it but Paige replies both she and Brad have been so accepting of everything. Brad says he is glad Paige was found and they head on towards Kathy's room. Brad suggests he wait outside, as he doesn't want to crowd Kathy's room.
Inside the room, Lauren walks over to Kathy and introduces her to her granddaughter. Kathy welcomes Paige to the family, causing Paige to run off. Lauren tries to chase after Paige, although doesn't manage to catch up, telling Brad it was
too hard on Paige and that she shouldn't have pushed. Brad reassures Lauren and tells her he will go after Paige.
Erinsborough Hospital: Brad catches up with Paige and asks her if she is alright. Paige says she is and that she has tried to call Ethan as he has been a
rock to her and calms her down when she gets in a state. Brad asks what happened with Kathy and Paige says she couldn't do it, because Kathy had given her away and told Lauren that she was dead. Brad admits he is still furious with Kathy
too and Paige points out that maybe holding a grudge really does run in the family. He adds that they are now all working on rebuilding all the relationships and that it counts for a lot. Paige admits that it does to her too.
Erinsborough Hospital: Meanwhile, in Kathy's room, Lauren is pacing around the room. Kathy says Lauren should go if she wants to be with Paige but
Lauren replies that it is for the best if Brad is with her. Kathy asks how the rest of the family are handling things. Lauren says that Matt is trying to be supportive, Amber wishes it would all go away and that Bailey is handling things
best of all. Kathy asks how Lauren is handling things and she replies that she does now have her little girl back. Kathy comments that Lauren has missed out on so much and Lauren accepts that she has and doesn't know things like her favourite
colour. Kathy urges Lauren to go to Paige. Lauren says she cares about Kathy too and asks why she didn't tell her about her heart condition. Kathy replies that it was partly vanity and also didn't want Lauren to worry about it.
Lauren tells Kathy that she is not to do it again and that the next time she has health issues, she goes to her. Kathy wryly comments that it has reached the point where the child has become the parent. Just then Brad returns,
explaining that Paige is ready to come back and talk to Kathy - but wants to do it alone. Kathy says to tell Paige that she is waiting.
 
Number 22: Imogen is working at the outside table when Josh bursts out of the house ordering her to put her homework away as there is a great big world to
go out and experience. Imogen asks Josh if he is ok and Josh shouts out that he's not: he feels incredible. Imogen thinks Josh needs medical help as he is so excited, but Josh retorts that he is just in a good mood. Imogen wonders how Josh
can be like that when there is so much crazy stuff going on. Josh doesn't think Imogen would understand.
The Waterhole: Terese sees Naomi and thanks her for what she has done for Josh, helping him become involved in his work. Terese adds she has been worried about him since he left
school. Naomi says Terese doesn't need to be worried as he is young and has plenty of time to figure out what he wants to do with his life. Terese goes on to say how Josh had his heart crushed by Amber and how much tension there is in the family because of Paige.
Naomi looks worried as Terese explains how fragile Josh is, though manages to force a smile when Terese says she is glad Josh is working with someone like her.
Erinsborough Hospital: Paige walks into Kathy's room and Kathy is surprised, saying she didn't think Paige would come. Kathy asks what it is all about and
Paige replies she wants to know what Kathy's deal is. Kathy is confused: Paige asks if she really wants to welcome her into the family or whether she is doing the loving grandmother routine for Lauren.
Kathy says she remembers everything that happened before the accident, for example the fact Paige had her heart pills. Kathy adds that Paige must have worked out by now that, as she hasn't been confronted about it,
she hasn't told anyone about what happened. Kathy wants to know what questions Paige had and Paige asks why Kathy thought Lauren would be better off without her. Kathy replies that Lauren was too young and admits she made a mistake.
Paige asks if her adopted parents knew; Kathy says they didn't as she had arranged it with the doctor to look legitimate. Kathy asks Paige why she saved her life as she had the opportunity get revenge and keep her secret safe.
Paige replies she was on autopilot, although Kathy wonders whether she was on autopilot when she stole her heart pills. Paige admits she was angry and that she regretted it immediately. Kathy notes Paige is fiery, impulsive and
reckless but does do the right thing in the end. Kathy says she won't tell Lauren as it will cause more pain and upset and urges Paige to try and forgive her, offering that she will do the same as despite what they both did, underneath
they are good people. Kathy says she wants to take a chance and start all over again.
The Waterhole: Paige and Brennan are playing darts. Paige tells Brennan that some people really confuse her because the woman she has hated for so long is
now trying to be nice to her. Brennan asks what Kathy said and Paige says that she was trying to make amends although isn't sure if its a good thing because she doesn't know what to think any more. Paige says she almost feels like a traitor
thinking that there is a good person in Kathy trying to get out. Brennan replies that maybe there is, but Paige considers that it may be an act. Brennan urges Paige to take people at face value, pointing out that second guessing them will
eventually do her head in. Paige asks if it is that simple; Brennan suggests she is just honest with people and hopes that she gets the same in return.
 
Lassiter's Hotel: Josh is carrying more boxes through the foyer. Naomi asks when he thinks he will be finished. Josh replies that it depends and
asks Naomi if she is going to give him a hand. Naomi says she won't and points out she is his superior and doesn't appreciate being told to do his job. Josh tries to coax Naomi into the lift with him, but she declines, and heads off
to take the stairs as the lift door closes. Meanwhile, Terese, who is working behind reception, is approached by Wendy who tells her that she has some information from her from a cleaner, regarding the night that Harold's was trashed.
Number 22: Josh walks over to Imogen, who tells him that she is struggling with an essay question and could do without the same input from
him as before. Josh is less excited than before and Imogen asks if he is finally taking the Paige business seriously. Josh replies it is not about that and vaguely says that just when things start to go his way, it's like it
never happened. Imogen doesn't understand what Josh is talking about and explains he will need to back up a bit. Josh says he thought he had something but it turns out that he was kidding himself. Imogen uses a swimming analogy,
leading Josh to the conclusion he needs to try harder to make something happen. She urges him to at least try, but Josh says that Imogen doesn't understand.
Harold's Store: Lauren drops some knives and forks on her way back to the kitchen, so Paige rushes over to help her pick them up.
Paige asks Lauren if she has another apron. Lauren replies that Paige isn't supposed to be working, but Paige says that she heard one of her employees was a liar, and that it is easy to replace Paige Novak with Paige Smith.
Paige promises she isn't a liar like Paige Novak. Lauren gets Paige an apron and Paige joins her behind the counter.
Lassiter's Hotel: Matt heads over to Terese with the file from the night Harold's was broken into. Matt admits he only brought it because
Terese said it was important. Terese asks what Paige said in her statement. Matt gives a brief summary, saying Paige left as usual and thought she had checked the locks, the store having closed at 8.30pm. From a photo of the store,
a clock indicates it was trashed just before 9.00pm. Terese says she has an eyewitness who saw Paige leaving the store in a distressed state just after 9.00pm. Matt asks why the witness didn't come forward sooner but Terese replies
that he only works part time and is not always at the hotel to gossip. Terese says that the witness is working that evening and asks Matt what he is waiting for, as this will prove Paige can't be trusted. Matt admits he is worried what
it will do to Lauren. Terese asks what is more important - upsetting Lauren or protecting both their families from someone who is a confirmed liar and is potentially dangerous.
 
Harold's Store: Brennan tells Paige he didn't think she was working that day: she says she had to do something to get away from Rocky V.
Brennan points out he knew that she just wanted to come and hang out with Lauren. He orders a latte and goes and sits down. Lauren asks Paige what is going on, saying that Paige was flirting with Brennan. Paige denies it,
but Lauren admits she is one of those 'interfering mothers'. Just then Matt arrives to ask Paige a couple of questions: he admits that a witness has come forward and the account suggests that Paige was responsible for trashing Harold's.
Lauren says it is ridiculous and Paige had nothing to do with it. Paige accepts that Matt is correct: she was the person responsible.
