Lassiter's Hotel: An excited Georgia wakes up next to Kyle and says good morning, although a clearly exhausted Kyle just tiredly rolls over.
Georgia looks over and spots a card propped on the kitchen counter: it contains a letter. She reads it as Kyle gradually comes round and begins to cry. Kyle comments he hopes they are tears of happiness and that she should have
read it yesterday. Georgia confirms that she is so happy and kisses Kyle. Kyle reminds Georgia there is something they didn't do the previous night, but Georgia stops them, saying that they didn't try on their wedding night
outfits either. Georgia races off to get changed, leaving a happy Kyle to sigh on the bed.
Number 32: Matt arrives to find Lauren in the kitchen. He replies to her greeting with a frosty 'good morning' and pours some coffee.
Lauren comments that Matt was late the previous night and Matt explains he stayed at the reception with various people. Lauren says she waited up for Matt and he heads out back to get some fresh air, claiming he meant to text.
 
Lassiter's Hotel: Georgia comes out of the bathroom wearing new lingerie and Kyle compliments her, asking if they should get down to business.
Georgia declines, saying she wants to see what his wedding night underwear look like. Kyle jumps off the bed, complaining about being under the thumb already, and removes his robe, just as Sheila bursts into the room without knocking.
She drops a few bags of presents off, obliviously asking if everything went alright on the wedding night. Sheila goes on to say that she is there to pick them up for brunch, an arrangement which means they can all open the presents together.
Georgia is surprised, but Sheila reminds her that she made the arrangements the night before and had also invited Sharon, although Georgia doesn't remember doing it. Sheila sits down on the bed and reveals that Sharon left without even saying
goodbye and goes on to ask where they should go to eat. Kyle hints that he doesn't want to go out and Sheila realises that he and Georgia want to relax after the last busy few days. She grabs the phone to order room service instead, telling
the newly weds they can all open the presents in the room instead!
Number 32: Lauren is looking through Matt's clothes as Bailey comes in: he tells Lauren that he is on the way out, but Lauren is preoccupied, especially
when she finds a Lassiter's Hotel key, much to her horror. Bailey repeats that he will be back for lunch and heads off, Lauren urging him to have fun. Once he has left, Matt comes in the back door and notices the look that Lauren is giving
him. He asks her what the matter is - Lauren says it is nothing and as he heads over to her, she lies saying she is not sure how she is going to get the stain out of his shirt from the previous evening. Matt takes it from her saying that it
is ok: he will do it. As he heads to the washing machine, Lauren grabs both the key and her bag and walks off.
 
Lassiter's Complex: Daniel finally shows up to a meeting with Paul and Dakota outside the hotel, commenting that Paul missed the best party the previous
night. Dakota asks if it was the wedding. he confirms that it was, as Paul tells Daniel that he must also have forgotten to shower and dress properly, referring to Daniel's very casual appearance. Paul goes on to say that the manager's
position is a great opportunity and it looks as if Daniel doesn't care. Dakota leaves the table to take a phone call; it is Carlos and she immediately asks what is happening. Dakota asks Carlos when 'the delivery' will be arriving and
asks Carlos to make it out to Daniel.
Lassiter's Hotel: Lauren approaches the hotel reception desk and is greeted by Wendy, who asks how Mason is. Lauren replies that he is fine, although
doesn't like the humidity. She hands over the key and goes on to say that the it was left at the wedding reception and that she hopes no one was locked out of their room. Wendy replies that as far as she knows, no guests were found
sleeping in the corridor. She checks and discovers that Sharon Canning made it back to her room, adding that Sharon was travelling alone when Lauren wonders if it could have been Sharon's partner's. Lauren replies that it is good to know.
Lassiter's Hotel: In the honeymoon suite, Sheila is opening presents as Georgia and Kyle watch on from the bed. After opening a rice cooker, Kyle tries
to hint that he would like some time alone with Georgia, but there is another knock at the door: this time it is Bailey. Sheila explains that she was expecting Amber, but Bailey replies that she is busy with her exams. Sheila tells Kyle
and Georgia she thought they could look at some of the shots of the wedding. Kyle tries to stop Sheila, but it is too late - Sheila instructs Bailey to set up the table and computer by the bed and then they both sit down between Kyle and
Georgia for the photo viewing experience.
 
Former Radio Station: Outside the radio station, Daniel is shifting some items when he spots a daisy growing by the door. He crouches down to take a photo
of it, just as Paul arrives, sarcastically commenting the Daniel is obviously hard at it and that he doesn't want to stop Daniel. Daniel retorts that he has already been given a lecture leaving Paul to wonder why none of it sunk in. Daniel
replies that he only took one photo but Paul thinks it will lead to another and then another. Daniel shouts back that he doesn't need it this morning, and that he actually preferred things as a bellboy. Paul says that Daniel is better than
this and Daniel agrees, storming off and telling Paul that he quits.
The Waterhole: A stressed looking Paul is looking at his computer as Dakota heads over, wondering why Paul let Daniel quit so easily. Dakota adds that they need Daniel
although Paul rejects this saying that they do not need Daniel's attitude. Paul explains that he can't force Daniel into the manager's position and Dakota accepts that she knows this, but points out that she hates coming between the Robinsons. Paul assures
Dakota that she is doing no such thing, telling her that it is strictly business. Dakota replies that it shouldn't be: it should be about family and family comes first. Dakota tries to convince Paul to take Daniel back, highlighting that if Paul doesn't give
Daniel a chance, who else will?
Lassiter's Hotel: Bailey and Sheila are still looking at photos. In the kitchen area, Georgia whispers to Kyle that Sheila has to go, but Kyle is unsure as
Sheila is having a lot of fun. Georgia wonders whose fun is more important: Sheila's or theirs, and reminds Kyle of what he is missing out on by showing her new wedding night lingerie. Kyle immediately goes to get rid of Bailey, urging Georgia
to distract Sheila. Taking Bailey aside, Kyle orders him to get rid of Sheila, informing Bailey that he and Georgia would like some alone time. Finally understanding what Kyle is hinting, he goes to sit next to Sheila, telling her that she has a
good eye for photography. He adds that Amber asked him to put together an online album and wants to go back to Number 26 to organise it, lying that he needs to head back to get his charger anyway. Sheila is reluctant, telling Bailey that she
wanted to help Georgia and Kyle pack for their honeymoon but Georgia assures Sheila they will be fine. Sheila says that she will be back before they know it and heads off: Georgia is worried after she has gone that Sheila still has a room key,
but it turns out not to be an issue as Kyle has managed to get it out of Sheila's bag before she left.
Number 32: Matt is finishing the dishes when Lauren walks in, saying that she has been for a walk and wonders if Matt is going to be home for lunch.
He replies that he is not sure. Lauren snaps, wondering whether Matt is not sure or just doesn't want to tell her. Matt asks what Lauren means and Lauren retorts that she wants to know where Matt was the previous night and expects the
truth this time. Matt says he doesn't know what Lauren is talking about: Lauren explains that she found the Lassiter's room key and wonders where it came from. Matt reveals that Sharon gave it to him and propositioned him. Lauren asks
whether Matt went and he says that he thought about it but that he didn't as his vows actually mean something to him. A surprised Lauren wonders how long Matt has been waiting to use that one and says that people make mistakes. Matt
walks out after firing back that it is not people making a mistake - it is her.
 
The Waterhole: Daniel comes in, telling Paul he can't summon him anymore as he is no longer an employee. Paul replies that Daniel is still his nephew
and orders him to pull up a chair. Paul explains he might have been a little hasty letting Daniel go earlier that morning. Daniel says that Paul didn't, as he quit, but Paul goes on to say that the point is that Daniel is sloppy and has
an aversion to rule, but that he is a creative thinker and a good people person. He tells Daniel that if he takes his job back, he will promise to have a more hands-off approach. Daniel laughs, saying that it must have been Dakota's idea
and that she really has Paul wrapped around her little finger. Paul replies that he just wants Daniel and Dakota to be happy and Daniel accepts his old job back. Daniel suggests Paul goes to his place for dinner to celebrate, but Paul
declines, not tempted by baked beans around the campfire. Paul adds that he is not keen on Daniel continuing to sleep in his car and that neither is Charlene as he had spoken to her the previous night. Daniel heads off for the bar, but
not before he is surprised when Paul informs him that Charlene revealed his ex-girlfriend Rain made an appearance, looking for him.
Number 32: Lauren is sitting at the table when Matt arrives, asking what is going on. Lauren explains it is lunch and she thought it would be a
good opportunity for them both to talk. Matt retorts that he is not having the conversation but Lauren says that he doesn't have a choice. Matt goes to walk out and Lauren shouts out that she did the wrong thing and broke her vows,
and that nothing will change it. She continues, saying that they can't go on the way they are: something is broken in the marriage and they either fix it or they walk away. Matt is surprised, but Lauren wonders what the alternative is:
not talking to each other for the rest of their married lives. Lauren asks Matt which it is going to be. Unable to answer, he walks out of the room and slams the front door.
Lassiter's Hotel: Georgia and Kyle are in bed together, Georgia telling Kyle that if she knew how much fun marriage would be, she would have done it sooner.
Kyle confirms he would have too, and they laugh about how funny Sheila was earlier. Kyle comments that Sheila doesn't have anyone else to share things with and Georgia replies that it is quite sad. Georgia wonders if Sheila will ever find
another partner and jokes that next time, they could end up walking in on Sheila, much to Kyle's disgust. Georgia takes Kyle's mind off the disturbing mental image by saying that the best thing is that they still have the honeymoon to go.
Number 32: Lauren walks into the kitchen to see Matt sitting on the chair: he confirms that Lauren was right and that there is something broken in the
marriage. He admits that he doesn't know whether it can be fixed but adds that he does want to give it a try. Lauren sits down opposite him, relieved that Matt wants to try. Matt explains that it won't be easy but giving things a try
is his decision. Lauren assures Matt they will get there and can make the marriage work - she is sure of it.
 
Former Radio Station: Dakota arrives and Daniel heads over to her, pointing to some large boxes and commenting that she has ordered a tonne of decaf
and may not understand her clientele. Dakota replies that it is fairtrade and organic and would have thought Daniel would have been pleased. Daniel confirms that he is and Dakota offers to give him a hand shifting the large boxes.
Daniel points out Dakota's heels, but Dakota says he would be surprised what she is capable of. Dakota tells Daniel she is glad he came back to work because it means a lot to Paul. Daniel replies that Dakota means a lot to Paul too as he
is a changed man, following the rough patch he went through. Dakota says that Paul is a great guy and so is Daniel and that they are going to have a very long and happy association. As Daniel goes inside with the box, Dakota gets out her
phone. On it is a message telling her she will really like the decaf and listing a set of serial numbers of the packets within the box. She cuts one of the packages open and finds a small cloth parcel: inside are several diamonds.
