At Dural, Amanda and Wayne are relaxing on the
sofa. Wayne asks if she's happy living there. Amanda
says she's happy to see him and Gordon under the same roof without fighting.
Wayne tells her they should
rent the Melbourne house out - in seven months it goes to charity and they
need the money. He adds that
once the year's income that Dee's left them goes, that's it. Amanda asks about
the apartment, and Wayne
says he's going to take care of that tomorrow. Amanda asks if he's going to
throw Robin out, and Wayne
says he'll enjoy every minute of it. Amanda tells him to make sure that's
all he does - she wants to let
it drop. Wayne agrees, and tells her they'll leave Robin to his wife. Amanda
asks him if he's going to
change the nasty side of him - she doesn't like him like that. Wayne says
he'll try, as he won't do anything
to hurt her - he loves her too much. He kisses Amanda.
Later, Charlie arrives and Gordon lets her in. Charlie goes into the living
room and tells Wayne and Amanda
the last she heard, they were fugitives from justice or something. She asks
what's been happening to them
as she's been so worried. The pair are speechless.
After Charlie finds out about Patricia, she decides
to go home and book a flight to Melbourne. After she
leaves, Barbara remarks that, if she'd known it was going to have that effect,
she'd have mentioned it
sooner! The others laugh.
The next morning, Gordon tells Wayne that Jill is staying at the apartment
with Robin, and he is annoyed.
Wayne tells Gordon that he's going to boot Robin out and tell Jill she can
stay there. He goes into the hall
and tells Amanda he has to go to the apartment earlier than he thought. Wayne
goes to get changed.
Gordon comes out and tells Amanda to go with Wayne, and try to talk him out
of it.
Later, at the apartment, Wayne tells Jill that he's throwing Robin out. Jill
asks him to give Robin a couple
of weeks so he can get his wife Kathleen off his hands. She goes to tend Fee.
Amanda asks Wayne to do
what Jill said. Wayne remarks that Robin would get off scot-free - nothing
from them or his wife. He
adds that he will let Robin stay - that way he knows where he and his wife
are. Wayne says that someone
should make sure Kathleen bucks up and gives Robin what's coming to him. Amanda
looks worried.
