Sky’s still waiting at the clinic. Miskah’s disappointed that didn’t Dylan’s not there with her but Sky doesn’t blame him not after what she did. Lou appears with the missing page of the diary, which Sky had inadvertently lost earlier when she had attempted to talk to Dylan, in his hand. Sky need’s to read it! Sky reads though the page her mother must have torn from the diary. It reveals that her mother also worried whether she was ready to have a child. Sky realises that her fears and worries don’t make her any different from her mother all those years ago, and as her name gets called she has a decision to make. Does she really want to go though with a termination?

Back at the Robinson household Paul is busy cooking kippers for breakfast, but Kippers aren’t Izzy’s favourite they’re Gail’s and she’s amazed that after all these years he hasn’t forgotten. After Paul leaves for work Gail thanks Izzy for being so understanding over the whole thing. Luckily Elle interrupts before Izzy can dig herself a hole. She’s desperate to tell her Dylan news and pulls Izzy aside trying to keep it quite. Izzy loves getting one up on Gail as she comments how she always gets these things out of Elle. There’s no secrets between them.

Dylan’s home and his mood isn’t the best, Stingray tries to talk to him but Dylan couldn’t care less he’s got more important things to worry about, like the fact that Sky’s pregnant. Stingray’s obviously as shocked about the news as Dylan, asking if they baby’s definitely his. Stingray really seems a little worried. Dylan tells him Sky’s already made up her mind. Neither of them are ready to be parents and she’s got an appointment at the clinic. When? Today, now. Dylan insures Stingray he didn’t pressure her but Stingray’s beyond listening and runs out saying he’s got some Uni stuff to do. Dylan isn’t impressed at the extent of his brother’s support.

Stingray’s on the hunt for Sky and arrives at the clinic just in time to see Lou and Mishka helping a sick looking Sky in to the back of the car. Thinking he’s too late and she’s already been in he stays back and just watches from a distance.

Dylan’s in the Scarlet bar with Elle but he’s minds elsewhere and he’s not really listening as she talks. Elle realises he’s not listening and asks if he’s going to dump her now. Dylan explains that he’s not but has got other stuff on his mind. Asking if it’s something’s happened since they were last together Dylan tells Elle the whole story, but begs her not to tell Sky she knows. Sky will tell her in her own time when she’s ready. Stingray enters, he’s obviously down. Elle makes her excuses to leave telling Dylan he knows where she is if he needs her. Stingray tells Dylan he had no right to tell Elle, it was no one’s business but Sky’s. Dylan lets it slip that he had to tell someone and Elle’s his girlfriend. Stingray’s not happy Sky’s his friend and he cares about her. Dylan tells him to think about his loyalties.

Gail returns with Robert from the hospital and begs him to be good for her sake. He informs her that he just wants to make the most of his life. There are things he wants to do and he just wants a fresh start to do them. When confronted with Paul in the house he plays the old Robert, treating his father with disdain. He explains that he is only staying there because of Gail he don’t want to be Paul’s mate and he certainly doesn’t want to kiss and makeup.

Back at home Sky thanks Mishka and Lou for everything they’ve done for her. She believes cancelling her appointment was the best thing to do. She needs more time to think things through before she makes a decision like that. She doesn’t know what she would have done with out them. They’ve been so amazing though it all, like parents to her, and she’ll never forget what they’ve done for her.

Stingray finally makes it to Uni and begins work on his assignment. Rachel surprises him with a chocolate cake with the name of his move in it or so she things she’s actually missed the title by 4. It’s not 999 zombie killers it’s 994 but never mind Stingray will change the title of his movie to match the cake. Rachel has plans to stay but Stingray says she can’t, security will be around to lock up soon and he was going to hide from them and get locked in so he could finish his project. If Rachel stays she’ll get locked in too and Susan would kill him them both if she found out. Rachel refuses she’s here now she’s staying she’s going to help him stay awake and pass his course. They hide under the desk when security come around and end up finishing his film just in time. He admits to Rachael it’s the best relationship he’s ever had and he doesn’t want anything to wreck it. Could he still be thinking about Sky?

Roberts awake in the kitchen late at night after causing a scene and storming out at dinner. Gail comes down to find him sitting at the table thank god he came home. Gail asks Robert to make an effort. She knows Paul’s made mistakes, she’s not bind or Stupid but he’s changed. Robert accuses Gail for being sucked in by him and falling for him. Gail’s just trying to do what’s best for her kids, Robert threatens if he finds out any different than that he’ll do something about it.
