Stephen is stunned. He walks out
of the bedroom in shock, has a long look at the apartment and leaves.
Later, he is back at Dural having a drink. Gordon comes into the living room
and tells Stephen he was
wondering who was walking about. Stephen tells him that he changed his mind
about seeing Patricia, and
turned the car around. He adds that he'll be talking to Malcolm in the morning
about a divorce. Gordon
goes back to bed.
At the apartment, Patricia wakes up and asks Matt what he's doing there. He
tells her he's going back to
his own bed now. Patricia remarks that she is so tired, and he tells her to
go back to sleep.
At the motor inn, Wayne is meeting with the investigator and isn't impressed
with what the man has come
up with so far. The investigator tells him that they are awaiting the medical
reports and, if they come
through early, he'll send them straight to him. Wayne tells him to make sure
they're through by lunchtime.
At the apartment, Patricia emerges from the bedroom and Matt is having breakfast.
Patricia thanks him
for looking after her the previous night. Matt tells her he'd better call
Fiona - he did come over to find
out what happened to Jill. He asks Patricia where she is.
At Dural, Gordon and Stephen are having breakfast.
Gordon asks Stephen what his plans are for the
day. Stephen tells him there are a few things he has to attend to.
At the apartment, Patricia is on the phone to Malcolm. After she puts the
phone down, Patricia tells
Charlie that Stephen wants a divorce. Charlie can't believe it and asks her
on what grounds. Patricia
tells her you don't need grounds now, just a twelve month separation. She
adds that she didn't think
Stephen was serious about it - she thought he was just trying to frighten
her. Charlie asks her where
her stiff upper lip is. Patricia tells her she can't stand the thought of
living without him - she loves him.
Later, Wayne has arrived at the apartment and is
asking where Jill is. Patricia tells him she is in Sydney,
but won't reveal where. Wayne reminds Patricia that he can throw her out of
the apartment at any time.
Patricia refuses to tell him where Jill is, so Wayne tells her to start packing
her bags. He remarks how
interesting it is that things turn full circle. Six months ago she was at
rock bottom - then she caught
Stephen and now she's back to square one. Patricia tells him not to gloat
too much - things DO turn full
circle. Wayne leaves, telling her to be out before he gets back.
Wayne arrives back at the motor inn, where the receptionist hands him a package.
Back at the apartment, Charlie leaves and tells Patricia to call her if she
needs anything. Matt tells Patricia
it was nice of Charlie to offer to put her up. Patricia tells him it would
have meant living next to Stephen
and Margaret. Matt tells her that he's been invited to give a seminar in Perth,
and invites her to join him.
He promises not to come on to her and, after a bit of persuasion, Patricia
agrees to go with him. She tells
Matt she needs a bit of time away to stop her going around the twist. She
also says that she'll handle
Margaret and get Stephen back as well.
At the motor inn, Wayne phones Margaret and tells her that they've struck
gold, and the information he's
got is going to blow the Hamilton house sky-high. He adds that there's no
way they're going to lose any
of their money now......
