فصل 30

Arriving first at the cottage where Gem and Georgia are staying, Kate ignores Chris’s pleas to wait for Toadie and Kyle and races off to find her estranged friend. Kate bravely breaks through the door, finding Georgia abandoned and unconscious in a gas-filled room. Administering CPR, Kate finally manages to revive Georgia just as Kyle arrives.

Kate resolves to keep her distance from Kyle, but things go awry when Bossy runs away. Seeing Kyle’s distress, she offers to help him search, initially pushing aside her feelings to encourage his hopes of reuniting with Georgia. When Bossy is found pining outside Georgia’s bedroom, Kyle tells his dog it’s time for them both to move on. Hearing this, Kate’s hopes rise.

Bailey’s still hung up on Gem, and wants to help hunt her down so he can get some answers. He convinces Callum to help him search her room, looking for clues to her whereabouts. They find her diary. Against Callum’s advice, Bailey reads it, finding a passage about himself that makes him feel more sympathetic.

Georgia’s still rattled by the sudden appearance of her car, and when Kyle arrives at the hospital to keep her company, they experience the first thaw in their relationship. However things quickly become awkward when Kate turns up as well. They’re interrupted when Gem suddenly runs in, with an injury to her hand that the others quickly suspect is self-inflicted.

Kyle, Georgia and Kate are all feeling weird in light of Kate’s declaration that she’s in love with Kyle. Kyle has no idea how to process the information, and Georgia feels similarly up in the air about what it means. But after getting closure with Gem, and feeling positive, Georgia decides she’s open to whatever happens with Kyle – even the possibility of reconciliation, if that’s what he wan...

Reeling from his talk with Georgia, Kyle confides in Chris, who feels Kyle needs to make a choice. Kyle mopes about the house, and Sheila doesn’t see what good feeling sorry for himself will do. Chris persuades Kyle to go on a boys’ night with him – no women allowed. After a couple of beers, Kyle begins to relax, although Sheila suggests he is burying his head in the sand.

Suffering from heartbreak over Kyle, Georgia’s starting to feel physically ill at work. Karl, who is somewhat preoccupied with the election, encourages her to go home. She says she’ll fight through the food poisoning, but he assumes the Kyle situation is getting her down. When she becomes nauseous during work later, she wonders if it’s more than that.

Overwhelmed by the discovery that she’s pregnant, Georgia is grateful to find an understanding confidante in Susan. She shares her feelings of shock and bewilderment, admitting she never could’ve imagined she’d find herself in this position, alone and pregnant. She wrestles with the decision to tell Kyle, fearing his reaction to the news.

As Josh’s public profile builds, Ruby lands him a major new sponsorship deal. Josh is stoked with the gift they give him – a new car – but Amber begins to suspect fame is going to Josh’s head. Her fears are confirmed when Josh skips another training session to attend a glitzy PR bash. Brad is livid when Josh gets home after midnight.

Josh’s path towards self-destruction continues, to Brad’s increasing concern. Not even Amber can get through to him and it seems his swimming career and his relationship are headed for disaster. Sharing her son’s drive and competitiveness, Terese finally understands what is scaring Josh – a fear of failure.

Jacob apologises for his impetuous kiss, but Sonya is left awkward and feeling that she should tell Toadie what happened. Jacob begs her not to, but when Callum senses something going on between them, Sonya decides to be upfront. She tells Jacob that they can’t spend anymore time together, and goes home to tell Toadie the truth.

After a successful gig the night before, Karl comes into election day with all the momentum – and Paul struggles to hide his growing anxiety. Karl encounters a strong swell of support and it emboldens him to quietly confront Paul during a photo op.

Terese, still on an adrenaline high after quitting her job at Paul’s victory party, shares her news with a pleased Imogen. Back home, however, the reality sinks in over the enormity of Terese’s decision. Brad is supportive and even suggests Paul might come back on bended knee begging her to return to work.

It’s the day of Josh’s Commonwealth Games trials and tension builds as everyone, including a nervous Terese, gathers at the Turner’s house to watch it. Not helping Amber’s building anxiety over her boyfriend’s sporting fate, is Bailey’s inability to get the live broadcast feed working.

Amber is reeling after discovering Josh will be away at a training camp in Spain. For three months. Worried that it is too long to be apart, she’s determined to buy herself a plane ticket. Unable to talk to Josh about the training camp because of the Victory/Australia Day Party and his phone ringing non-stop with people congratulating him and offers of endorsements, Amber decides to go ahead...

In the wake of Kyle and Kate’s secret being exposed, Kate is at a loss to understand how the email came to be in Georgia’s hands. She admits to Sheila that Kyle and her had been together but denies giving the email to Georgia. Kyle’s stunned that Kate wrote the email in the first place and is dubious about her explanation of why he never saw it.

Despite her feelings of humiliation and heartbreak, Georgia makes a conscious decision to get back to work and go on performing.

Gem finally gets what she wants when Kyle makes an unexpected appearance at Georgia’s gig.

Guilty, thinking this is his fault, Mason takes off and is shocked when he runs into – Mark Brennan – who calls for a chopper.
