After a talk with Mishka, Sky plans to take the initiative when it comes to her relationship with Dylan which she is keen to start up again despite the pair splitting so severely after she spent the night with J.P. Sky had spend the rest of the day spending time with Stingray who was continuing to film his zombie action movie for University. They had hit a dead end to when trying to create a suitable noise for the zombie groan but Sky had a moment of inspiration after hearing Mishka yawn in the General Store. The yawn proves to be the perfect sound bite which Stingray records back at number 24 Ramsay Street.

Max finds himself unable to tell Steph his opinion on her latest inventions as she attempts to recreate the baby belt. Her latest idea is a poncho style apron to protect peoples clothing when they eat messy food during the day. Max continues to agree with Steph that the idea is good but eventually finds himself admitting to Steph that her proposed invention isn’t that great.

Mishka and Lou enter the world of brewing making use of an old Russian recipe to make very strong vodka. They go to great lengths to keep Harold away from their brewing apparatus, which they setup in the kitchen of the General Store. Lou is very happy with the results. They find themselves having to lie though as Harold finds them out when he spots Mishka holding a bottle of the vodka whilst sitting at a table inside the General Store. Lou steps in and pretends it’s a special cleaning fluid and all get a shock after Harold deliberately spears food onto Lou’s shirt and gets him to clean it off with the fluid. The vodka works well and removes the food stain completely. Amazed by this Harold spends the rest of the day chatting to customers about the cleaning fluid and giving quick demos to prove it’s effectiveness.

Stingray gives into his feelings for Rachel after he sees her and Garrett Burns whilst they are out on a date. He warns Garrett away from Rachel, a fact which Garrett tells Rachel later. Upon hearing the news Rachel heads to number 26 to confront Stingray who admits that he still has feelings for her despite being warned away from any kind of relationship by Susan.

Bree shocks Susan by acting up at school fuelled by disillusionment with her family now that Kim has gone and Janelle seems determined to lie in court. Susan can’t get through to Bree at first but offers some caring advice whilst Bree is in the detention set by Susan for answering back after a lesson. Susan provides further support later when Bree arrives to pick up Zeke. Bree returns the favour revealing that it’s plain to her that Susan still has very strong feelings for Karl. Susan is speechless at this revelation but doesn’t rubbish Bree’s statement outright.
