Frazer returns with Rosie to the town where he grew up to find out how his baby brother really died. His mother Prue warns him not to stir up the past but Frazer demands the truth. Reluctantly, Prue reveals that Frazer's brother Paul drowned on Christmas Day when Frazer was just a toddler. However, when Frazer learns that he stood and watched Paul drown, he realises the reason his parents never showed him any affection as a child: they blame him for his brother's death.

Mickey claims to be ill so Janae begs ex-doctor Karl to examine him. Karl declares Mickey healthy and Ned gently coaxes the truth out of his son: he's upset because he overhead Ned and Janae discussing the fact that Kirsten isn't coming back. Ned reassures Mickey that neither he nor Jake is going to get sent to a home but he admits to Janae that he's terrified of being a single father. Janae reassures Ned that he will be fine. She'll be there to support him every step of the way.

Adam insists he's not violent and Pepper admits that it was her over-protective dad who put the idea in her head. They make up and, to the chagrin of Pepper's housemates, spent a passionate night together. Proud to have found a good man who's willing to stand up to her father, things take a strange turn for Pepper when Adam freaks out at the sight of Steiger in his police uniform. Steiger's suspicion that Adam is a criminal is now stronger than ever.

Returning from a visit home, Lolly admits to Bree that she misses her family. She'd like to move back but fears it will break Zeke and Lou's hearts.
