Bree has agreed to let Susan take her to the spelling bee competition. Janelle acts pleased with this development and takes Bree over to Susans to prepare. She seems keen to hang on in Susans though and Bree is partially ignoring her, still annoyed after realising that Janelle really was the root of her nerves.

Janelle is kissing Boyd. Boyd pulls out of the embrace after a few seconds. He explains that he thinks of Janelle only as a friend but she takes offense accusing him of thinking she isn't good enough for him. Boyd attempts to calm her down but she storms off. Back at number 28 Janae has packed a few things in her a bag. Stingray spots her and asks her if she's running away. He then attempts to stop Janae as she makes to leave the house. Janelle enters but, after just leaving Bree, is uninterested saying Janae is just looking for attention. Janae manages to push past Stingray and goes. Janelle says she'll be back before tea.

Bobby continues to string along the women of Ramsay Street. First Lyn enters Scarlets whilst Bobby is working. He spends some time charming her. As she leaves with the bottle of wine she came in to pick up, Susan enters. Bobby uses the same lines he had on Lyn. Susan refuses to be baited though. As they're chatting Karl enters looking for Izzy. Bobby tells him quickly that she's not in and then returns to Susan. Karl hovers watching as Bobby and Susan flirt. As he leaves he casts several glances over his shoulder at the pair who are talking closely.

Stingray has convince Janelle to look for Janae after telling her about Janae overhearing the conversation a few days ago in which Janelle told Stingray that he was he favourite child. Janelle finds Janae on a quiet road trying to hitch a lift. She offers to take Janae to the next truck stop so she can get a ride. As they arrive Janelle stops Janae from getting out asking for a chat instead. She manages to coax Jane into coming home after telling her that she is proud of her daughter, despite what she may think. She explains that Janae's confidence and street wise nature impress her. She also explains that they clash often due to the fact that they're very similar. At home they settle down to a family dinner (minus Stingray who has left to allow the girls to bond and Bree who escaped to the Hoylands). Janelle burns the main course of lamb and so they order Pizza and eat it in front of the T.V. The pair struggle to converse at first but find their way eventually. Janelle then burns desert. Janae is happy to daks to the shops to buy some instead. Before she does though she hugs her mother.

Steph is still grappling with the questions put to her by the interviewer at th adoption agency. The question of whether Steph would love an adopted child as much as one she gave birth with seems to be troubling Steph the most. Max tries to convince her that it wouldn't make any difference to how she would treat them, using Summer and Boyd as an example of how Steph has dealt successfully with children. He explains his stance on the situation, which is he would treat any children that came to him as his own. He tells Steph that he loves Summer and Boyd equally but loves them differently as they're both individuals. He states that it doesn't really matter where a child has come from, if he is caring for it he will put his life into the. This seems to win Steph around and she agrees to continue with the adoption process.

Stingray is still blaming Boyd for his break up with Serena. he skates past as Boyd is playing basketball in his drive. The ball runs into his path and he stops. He begins to argue with Boyd but he is eventually calmed by his friend. They make up though agree that it will take a while until their friendship fully recovers. They start a game of one on one basketball as they make up.

Karl visits Susan. He brings a DVD of some of their home movies. She thanks him but he is slow to leave. He tells her that he feels that he doesn't know her anymore. When he touches on Bobby Susan shrugs him off saying their relationship is casual. Karl then pleads with Susan not to leave Erinsborough saying he needs her to cope. Susan presses this point saying he was the one that broke up with her and it's selfish for him to expect her not to move on when he claims to have. Karl tries to explain further but Susan is adamant. Their lives are separate now. Later Susan heads back to Scarlet's to see Bobby. She advances on him and, as he tries charm on her, tells him to be quiet as she doesn't need his words. They head into the backroom of the Scarlet bar kissing.
