Amanda and Wayne arrive back at the house. Wayne tells her that, apparently, he was at a coffee shop
with a girl. He remembers having a meal, but he couldn't afford to pay for it. He explains that he was
told that the young lady he was with had paid for the meal. Wayne tells her that he can't even remember
being with a lady. Andy arrives back at the house, and Amanda tells Wayne he should go and see the doctor.
Amanda is on the phone to Beryl. She explains that Wayne has stopped taking an interest in anything
lately, and was wondering if she could help out on the company side of things. Beryl explains she's not
up on the day to day running of the company, but tells Amanda she'll come over anyway. Once off the
phone, Beryl asks Lynn if she fancies going to the Morrells. Lynn says yes.
At the riding school, Patricia tells Robin that Charlie has told her Margaret added Matt Kennedy's name
to the guest list. Robin tells her it's true, and that he gave Margaret the list to type up WITHOUT Matt's
name on it. Patricia is perplexed and tells Robin that they agreed to stop fighting each other.

Patricia goes out into the reception area where Margaret is. She asks her why she typed Matt Kennedy's
name on the guest list. Margaret tells her she didn't. Patricia tells her it was a very cruel thing to do.
Margaret is adamant that she didn't type the name down, and tells Patricia it doesn't matter what she
says - she is convinced she typed the name. Patricia says she is sorry, and walks out.
At Toorak, Wayne and Andy arrive back from the doctors and get out of the car. Andy sees Lynn
standing by the house and is stunned by her beauty. The two stare at each other for a few seconds, then
Lynn walks off. Andy asks Wayne who the girl was - a stunner with blond-ish hair. Wayne tells him he
didn't see her. Inside the house, Amanda gives Beryl some business mail to look through. Wayne and Andy
come in and Amanda introduces Andy to Beryl. Andy tells the others he's going to go for a swim and
leaves. Beryl decides to go into the living room to read the mail. Wayne asks his wife what Beryl is doing
there. Amanda tells him Beryl's come over to help. She asks Wayne what the doctor said. Wayne says the
doctor told him it was probably because he bumped his head when he was hit by the car. Amanda tells
him he'd better go in and see Beryl - he doesn't want the company going down the drain. Wayne tells her
he couldn't give a damn about the company - he wants to know what happened in the three hours he can't
account for. Amanda tells him to think about something else, and it'll come back to him.

Lynn is sitting outside on the grass, reading. Andy comes over and introduces himself. Suddenly, the
automatic sprinkler comes on and soaks them both. Andy drags Lynn away and they start laughing.
The pair go back into the house, and Andy tells Lynn that she'll have to show him the local band scene
while he's down there. Lynn tells him she wouldn't know where to go and Andy tells her it'd be fun going
together. Amanda comes down the stairs and Lynn explains what happened with the sprinkler. Amanda goes
to take Lynn upstairs, but Andy tells Lynn she has to agree to show him around first. He asks Amanda if
she'd like to go out that night to see some bands and she agrees. Lynn agrees to go with them, and goes
upstairs to get out of her wet clothes. Amanda tells Andy that Lynn is married. Andy is shocked and tells
her he thought Lynn was Beryl's daughter as they are both Palmers. Amanda explains that Lynn is married
to Kevin, Beryl's son. Andy doesn't look pleased.
In the office at the riding school, Robin is complaining about Margaret to Stephen. Stephen tells him
if there's any problem with Margaret, he and Patricia will handle it. Patricia comes in and Robin leaves.
Stephen tells her that Robin has informed him of the business with Margaret, and he can't think what
would make her do a thing like that.

Later, Fiona comes into the office with an idea that the women with babies living in tents after the bush
fire should share the accommodation at the riding school. Patricia and Robin are amazed. Patricia tells Fiona
that their guests have paid for and expect private rooms. Stephen tells them he can see both points of view.
Fiona tells Patricia it was partly Margaret's idea to move the people into the guest house. She adds that it's
nice there are people around who don't think only of themselves. She leaves. Patricia remarks that she
doesn't need any more proof that Margaret is out to make life difficult for her. Stephen tells her not to
get upset, and Robin smiles to himself.
Later, Margaret is in the office with Patricia and Stephen. She tells them she didn't think her plan would
upset them, and it wasn't her idea in the first place. Stephen tells her it would be better if she found
somewhere else to live. Margaret is stunned and realises that Patricia thinks she still holds a grudge.
She tells Stephen that she'll leave and says that, when he finds out who is really responsible, she hopes
he'll have the decency to apologise. On her way out, she tells Patricia she wants her and Stephen to be
happy, whatever she might think. Outside the room, Margaret is almost in tears.
Andy arrives at the Palmer house and Lynn lets him in. Andy tells her that Amanda changed her mind and
decided to stay at home and look after Wayne. Lynn tells him maybe they shouldn't go without Amanda.
Beryl and Andy gang up on her and she agrees to go out. She goes to check Davey and Andy tells Beryl
that he's looking forward to the evening.
In the riding school reception, Robin tells Patricia she did the right thing by asking Stephen to make
Margaret leave. Patricia says that she really wants to work things out with her. Robin tells her he's glad
Margaret is going - she's caused too much trouble for his liking. Unknown to him, Margaret is outside the
door, listening to every word they are saying.
