Elle and Sky have much needed catch up in the coffee shop but Sky’s mind is elsewhere she‘s obviously still trying to get her head around her life changing news and Elle tries to push her for news on what’s been going on in Sky’s world since they last hung out. As Mishka brings over their drinks Sky quickly makes her excuses to leave she has a massive headache and really should go home. Back home Sky is reading though her mums diary from when she was Pregnant with her in an attempt to find some advice on the tough decision she has to make. Finding pages full of positive reassured writing Sky believes that her mother never questioned her self once or the decision she went on to make in keeping the baby. Although her pregnancy was also unplanned and the timing wasn’t right, her mother goes on to say that the timings never right, and that she’s always wanted to be a mother. Believing her mother to be totally sure from the start Sky thinks it’s obvious what she should do. She tells Lou and Mishka that before she can tell Dylan she needs to be sure in her own mind and her mother’s diary proves what she’s known all along. She’s not ready to be a mother.

Meanwhile over in the Scarlet Bar Dylan has his head among the paper work when Paul comes over to try and make amends. He should have listened to him when he accused Cameron of setting him up. It’s just that a parent never wants to think badly of their own kid but Dylan was right and he’s very sorry. After a very short moment of contemplation Dylan accepts the apology and they seal the deal with a couple of beer.

Janae is busy writing an update on her web blog telling everyone on the web how long Boyd spends in the bath room and the secret to his beautiful blond hair. Boyd doesn’t seam too impressed though when he realises she’s also hidden a secret camera in the bath room and has uploaded shots of him flexing his muscles in the mirror. As if the web blog humiliation isn’t enough Janae pulls out the overly cute wedding invites, with two little bears juggling love hearts. Aren’t they adorable? Maybe she’s gone just a little bit too cute though as there’s even a cheesy invite poem on the back. Janae just hopes everyone likes them and she is really hating the prospect of getting married without Janelle and Max there. They later deliver their invites around Ramsey street. What if no one turns up?

Bree returns home to a very worried Janelle demanding to know where she’s been, but Bree’s not in the mood to be yelled at as she bursts in to tears and explains to Janelle that she’d been to find her real parents but they weren’t there. The house had burnt down a while back and the family had moved away. Janelle has an idea though. Maybe if they put an advert in the paper and if that doesn’t do it they could always get a private detective.

Paul invites Dylan back for dinner and shows up with enough Chinese food to feed a small army, only to discover it’s just going to be the three of them for dinner as Gail and Izzy have gone shopping. The three though soon turns in to two though as Paul’s called away on urgent business leaving with a not so subtle order for Dylan and Elle to relax and have fun. Dylan suggests that maybe Paul’s got a point. He’s single she’s single maybe it’s about time they gave Paul what he wants. Dinner goes down well and in a moment over a fight with a curry puff Elle and Dylan kiss. Elle’s a little worried, Sky’s her friend and she don’t want to hurt her but Dylan reassures. They’ll take things slowly and if there’s any problems with Sky they’ll deal with them together. Dylan and Elle wake the next morning after crashing on the couch together. They share another kiss and promise to meet later for a drink as Dylan has to go to work.

Sky sits out on the deck flicking though some loose pages that have been stored in the front of her mum’s diary. She appears to be looking for something, maybe something that proves her mother has doubts and would give her a reason to change her mind. She sees Dylan in the street and as she jumps up the loose pages fall from the diary, she scrambles to pick them up but misses one in her hurry to run down the steps and talk to him. She makes another attempt to tell him her news as he gets in to his car to head to work but like before Dylan isn’t interested and starts to drive away. Seeing this as a last attempt to tell him Sky grabs the nearest flower pot and throws it with perfect aim to smash on the back of his car. What the hell does she think she’s doing? He doesn’t want to hear what she has to say. Finally Sky say’s it, she’s Pregnant with his baby. Back inside Sky wants to know what Dylan thinks about her news, but Dylan’s not ready to become a father and it seams Sky’s already made up her mind anyway. He offers to go to the clinic with her but after another bitter moment between them she say’s she’ll go on her own. As Sky sits in the waiting room filling out the paper works Dylan spots Max with Charlie, could he be having regrets?

Mishka can’t let Sky go though it on her own and she turns up at the clinic before Sky goes in to offer her support. Mean while back in Ramsey street Lou find the piece of paper that Sky dropped earlier. It’s something she needs to read but will he make it to the clinic before Sky’s called in for her appointment.
