Izzy clashes with Elle again as Elle tells her that she has dropped out of University and plans on living off her fathers income from the Lassiter organisation. Izzy tries to argue against this plan, and even Katya joins in encouraging Elle to work for a living, but Elle dismisses their words as their feministic view and informs them that she sees nothing wrong with using Paul’s money.

Elle finds herself with her own problems though as she attempts to attack Sky over the way Sky treated Dylan, which has left him in a permanent bad mood. Elle enters the General Store and begins laying into Sky about how she was wrong to cheat on Dylan. Sky, who only came out reluctantly after being coaxed off the couch at number 24 by Harold, is left speechless as Elle rants. Mishka steps in though and cuts Elle off in mid sentence reminding both Elle and Sky that they’re friends. Both attempt to protest against Mishka but she shushes them and manages to get them to go out for the night. Things don’t go to plan though as they reach a local club and Elle is forced to watch Sky as she the stresses of her break up with Dylan and the doubt it saw her putting upon her ability to maintain a normal relationship catch up with her. This sees Sky heading onto the dance floor at the club and throwing herself at the other occupants with little concern for herself or her safety. Elle sees what happens and tries to warn Sky against what she’s doing but Sky pushes her away and leaves a while later with two other club members despite more warnings from Elle.

Robert returns to Katya in the Scarlet bar after disappearing to confront Paul’s business partner. Paul soon notices Sean Dempster’s absence and tries calling him at his office. Robert remains calm throughout but it seems clear that Sean’s disappearance has something to do with him. Paul heads to Sean’s office with Izzy and Robert to find it empty. As the approach the desk in the office Robert notices a patch of blood on the desktop. With a slightly panicked look he pulls a tissue from his pocket and cleans the blood away when no-one is looking. Izzy seems the most concerned about the strangeness of Sean’s disappearance and Paul finds himself agree after making a few more calls, including one to Sean’s wife, which still doesn’t show were Sean is. Izzy suggests that they call the police. Paul isn’t keen on this idea, explaining that his business dealings could do without police scrutiny, but he asks Robert whether he thinks Paul should call the police. Robert thinks about it for a moment and then agrees that calling the police may be the best way to go. The police aren’t too bothered by Sean’s disappearance and tell Paul that they’ll investigate if Sean hasn’t turned up in 72 hours.

Harold returns from Peth where he was visiting Svetlanka. He seems happy but is shocked to find that Lou has managed to get the General Store back from Paul. He is less happy when he learns how Lou scammed Paul out of the General Store though. Harold has a surprise of his own when he announces to Lou that he wont be returning to work at the General Store explaining that he’s enjoying his retired life and wants to spend more time with Sky and working with the Salvation Army.
