Patricia tells
Stephen that she will go to Woombai with him, but she'll never forget what
John and Angela
have done to her. Stephen kisses her.
At Toorak, Amanda tells Charlie that she is looking forward to going to the
cinema with Phillipe that
afternoon. She goes to get changed and Charlie answers the phone. It is Patricia,
who tells Charlie about
her bust up with the twins, and her problem with Stephen. Charlie complains
to her that her stepdaughter
is after HER Frenchman. Patricia tells her that Paul is planning to buy a
baby for him and Angela, and she
isn't too keen on the idea. It is putting a strain on their marriage. She
tells Charlie to make sure that Rob
isn't available if Angela decides to go running back to him. She wants Angela
to feel alone. Charlie remarks
that she knows someone who could keep Rob occupied....
At The Terrace, Kevin and Lynn are excitedly getting ready to go and pick
Davey up from the hospital.
Charlie arrives, and deliberately tells Rob that Paul and Angela are going
to buy a baby. Rob isn't too
pleased. Charlie tells him he should let his hair down and start to enjoy
life. She remarks that Amanda
has her eye on him. Charlie goes into the kitchen to see Phillipe. She tells
him that she has spoken to a
well known food writer, and the man wants to meet him that afternoon. Phillipe
tells her he is supposed
to be going out with Amanda. Charlie tells him that she'll let Amanda know.
Stephen and Patricia arrive at Woombai, and Patricia is shocked to find Doug
and Rosie Palmer there.
She tells them they'll have to move to the guest house, but Rosie is having
none of it. Stephen tells her
they will go to the guest house.
David and Tony also arrive at Woombai. From his
truck, David sees Patricia riding a horse. She also
spots him and stops. David tells Tony, "So much for a relaxing holiday."
Once inside, David tells his
father that he was supposed to be there for a rest. Rosie tells David that
he won't have to see Patricia
- she is staying at the guest house. Outside, Tony runs into Terry, who is
polishing a rifle. Tony asks if
he can have a go, but Terry tells him it isn't loaded, and he is busy. Terry
walks off and Tony eyes the gun.
Stephen is in the guest house when Patricia rushes in. She tells him that
she wants to leave, because David
Palmer is staying there. Stephen isn't happy and tells her to stay out of
David's way, and act like a human
being for once. He walks off.
At Toorak, Amanda is ready for her date with Phillipe. Charlie, smiling, tells
her to have a good time.
When Amanda arrives at The Terrace, Rob tells her that Phillipe has gone to
meet a writer, and he
thought Charlie would have told her. Amanda is furious. She tells Rob she
was really looking forward
to seeing the movie. Rob offers to take her and she agrees. After they leave,
Kevin shows Lynn the
huge medical bills for Davey, and asks her if she can pay for it out of her
savings. He also tells her
they haven't got any medical cover - he stopped paying into the health fund
when she went off with
Davey. Lynn tells him she forgot all about the health fund too.
At Woombai, Tony picks up Terry's rifle. In the
guest house, Rosie asks Terry where Tony is.
Terry tells her that Tony wanted a go with his rifle earlier, and he told
him it wasn't loaded, even
though it is. Outside, Tony spots Patricia walking along. He aims the rifle
sight at her and pulls the
trigger. A shot rings out and Patricia falls to the ground. Tony is shocked.....
