Recap
The counsellor advises Kim to discuss her pregnancy with her parents. She doesn't know if she wants a termination.
Danny organises a hall to have his birthday party in.
Scott tells Kim he'll stick by her.
Kim's mother tells Helen that she's washed her hands of Kim. Kim is dead to her.
Robinsons
Helen can't believe Mrs Taylor's attitude. Jim says they'll figure something out themselves. Paul comes in with a nice bottle of wine for them. Jim is surprised to hear the Paul knew about Kim. Helen is shocked to hear that Kim might have an abortion. They argue and Paul says that Kim should have a choice.
Jim says that Kim is their responsibility - they're going to talk it through calmly and rationally.
Ramsays
Danny is trying to convince Maria that he doesn't need an adult at his party, but she's not having any of it. She tells Danny to ask Jim.
Max comes in and Maria tells Max about Danny organising a party for Friday night. Max says he'll be there on Saturday. Maria observes that Max looks tired. Maria says that next time he shouldn't fire someone before he has a replacement! Max asks Maria to ring the agency for them. He says he'll take whoever Maria recommends - he swears he won't give her any argument.
Maria offers Max some chicken casserole. He says no at first, but he is dead hungry so gratefully accepts. Maria warms it up for him. (Aw!)
Robinsons
Julie says that Scott is stupid for getting mixed up with Kim.
LUCY: Why isn't she on the Pill anyway?
EVERYONE: Lucy!
Jim tells her off for feeding Basil under the table!
Julie tells Kim that Kim is silly for getting herself pregnant - after all, she herself got through her teenage years without getting pregnant!
PAUL: Only because you had a fmaily that loved you and cared about what you did!
JULIE: Did I?!
JIM: Yes, you damn well did!
Helen breaks up the argument and sends all the boys out to sort the rubbish out. Helen berates Julie for being completely insensitive to Scott about Kim. Kim's mother hasn't given her any support of understanding at al - Kim will need all their support in the months to come.
Des's
Des is going out for a few supplies. Daphne looks in her purse and sighs. She hesitates, then picks up the phone. She calls the stripping agency and asks if they have any work - just for one night. She is given something for Friday night.
Robinsons
Danny is asking Jim to chaperone his party. He agrees, much to Danny's dismay. But then he remembers he has to babysit Lucy. No-one else is available. Danny says there'll be lots of other kids' parents there, so it doesn't matter.
Paul tells Jim that all the trainees have the morning off, so Helen suggests that he takes Daphne out for coffee to cheer her up.
To Helen's surprise, Mrs Taylor arrives at the door. She tells Jim and Helen that she didn't mean what she said on the phone - she does want to see her daughter.
Des's
Paul comes round to see Daphne. She is sewing her costume for Friday night, so she quickly puts it under the cushion. He suggests he takes her into town for breakfast. She says she's not even dressed, but Paul says he'll wait. He finds the costume under the cushion. Daphne says she was just mending it, but Paul realises she's going back to stripping. Daphne says she's desperate for money until she gets a job. She asks him not to tell Des.
Ramsays
Maria is on the phone to Max - she's found someone suitable from the agency and Maria is going to interview him. His name is "Terry Ingles".
Just then there's a knock at the door. Maria answers it and it's a woman. Maria doesn't realise at first that Terri is a woman, but Terri explains that she herself is the plumber from the agency.
MARIA:(laughing) Max is going to love this!
Kim's flat
Scott comes to see Kim. He's brought her mother along. Kim shouts at her mother to go away and shouts at Scott as well. Kim says she has nothing to say to her mother.
KIM: I've got nothing to say to you!
MRS TAYLOR: Well, I've got things to say to you.
Mrs Taylor tells Kim that she hasn't come to criticise or make her do anything she does want. But because Kim is her daughter and she loves her. Kim says that she's never been good enough for her mother - she wants to be forgotten.
MRS TAYLOR: I can't do that, Kim. I've already turned my back on one child in my life. I nearly did it again. I'm not going to.
Kim doesn't understand.
MRS TAYLOR: Somewhere in this world, you have a sister. I called her Karen. She'll be 27 now.
Mrs Taylor says she's tried so hard to forget, but she can't. She always wonders where she is now and what she looks like.
Kim accuses her mother of being a hypocrite and she agrees. When Kim's mother got pregnant, her parents turned their back and she had to give her baby away. She tells Kim that she wanted the world for her and didn't want her to have the same heartache. She tried to protect Kim, but instead she drove her away. Mrs Taylor starts to cry.
MRS TAYLOR: I love you, Kim.
KIM: I love you, too!
They cry in each other's arms. Kim says she's so scared and Mrs Taylor comforts her, saying they'll work it out together.
Ramsays
Max has arrived to meet "Terry". Maria explains that she's hired Terri.
MAX: He can't be a plumber, he's a woman.
Terri says that she's served her apprenticeship and has a pocketful of references. Max splutters and tells Maria to fire Terri. Maria says he'll just have to do it himself. Max tries to say he's already hired someone, but Maria says casually that that's not true! Max splutters even more and says that women aren't designed to be plumbers! Terri tells Max to wait until he sees her work.
MAX: I don't want a woman as a plumber's mate, I'm sorry!
Terri says she'll just go to the Equal Oppotunities Board. Maria says she'll be Terri's witness!
MAX: MARIA!!
A road
Danny and Scott are walking home from school. Danny is telling Scott he's going to have alcohol at his party. Scott doesn't think it's a good idea.
Ramsays
Max is glowering to Jim about having to employ Terri. Now Maria and Terri have gone shopping in his van!
Max says that she did OK this afternoon, but is still doubtful. Jim says that women are doing all sorts of jobs nowadays. He tells Max that if Terri doesn't work out, he could get his son's mate, Peter Armstrong. He thinks he should give Terri a chance though.
Max says he'll chuck the lot at Terri and see how she does!
Maria and Terri come in with the shopping. Jim tells Maria that he's sorry he can't make Danny's party. Maria puts the kettle on while Max continues to glower.
Robinsons
KIM: So I'm going home to have the baby. Mum's going to be with me.
Scott is very pleased and so is Helen. Mrs Taylor apologises profusely to Scott for being so awful to him in the past. She thanks him for all he's done for Kim. She gives him a nice watch to replace the one he sold to help Kim. She says she knows that they've moved a long way away, but she hopes Scott will come and visit them.
Kim tells Scott that he's the best friend she'll ever have. She kisses him on the cheek.
Jim comes in and Mrs Taylor sings Scott's praises to him. Jim says he's known that all along. (Aw!)
Ramsays
Maria is telling Danny about Terri. Danny lies to Maria that he's got some bloke from the committee to supervise his party. He gives Maria the number.
Maria rings up and clearly speaks to one of Danny's mates. He tells her some very strict ground rules for the party. She says it's a relief to know that someone responsible will be in charge.

Robinsons
Julie comes in from her night out. Jim tells her that the little gingerbread man has a chocolate overcoat(!) Jim is pleased that Scott is out enjoying himself. He's very proud of the way he stuck by Kim.
Jim thinks Julie is selfish because she didn't want Kim to move in with them. He tells Julie that they were in a position to help Kim - it's a bit heartless to turn her away because it's inconvenient. Julie said that she didn't think it through and Helen's already had words to her about it.
Jim asks where Helen is. Julie doesn't know, but she thinks maybe she's having coffee with Maria. Jim goes to take Basil for a walk. He gives Julie a hug and says he only said these things because he loves her. He gives her a hug.

Ramsays
Maria is wrapping up a present for Danny. She asks Shane how long he'll be away on his trip. She asks if Shane is leaving because of her - because he's ashamed of her. Shane says it's got nothing to do with any of the stuff that's gone on - he just wants to spread his wings. He still loves Maria as much as he ever did. Maria says that she wishes Max was as forgiving.
Shane thinks Max wants Maria back, but he's been hurt. It's a bit much for a bloke to take. Maria says that she would like Max back - as long as he didn't take things out on Danny.
Party Hall
The party has more or less finished, but people are still there, sprawled on the floor and stoned out of their minds. The hall is rather wrecked.

Des is pleased to hear that tonight was just a one-off. He says he can't stand the thought of all those guys leering at her.
DAPHNE: Like you did, at your buck's night?! You're beginning to sound more like a husband that a landlord, Des.

Harry stings Des to pay for his girlfriend's taxi again!

Ramsays
Danny is pacing again, worried about the $500. Max comes in and Danny asks if he can have a talk to Max. He asks him to lend him $500. He explains about the party damages. Max nearly gets mad but holds himself back. He says Danny should have told him earlier.

She tells him that one day soon he'll be old himself, and he should have a bit of compassion. Des tells Daphne that she's too soft and easy to manipulative.
DAPHNE: When I met you first, Des, I thought, here is a man you can trust. Solid, dependable human being,someone who cares about others. And I really admired that in you.
DES: Really?
DAPHNE: Nuh. But you're a really nice guy.
She says that her grandfather is a bit of a problem, but asks Des not to let it get him down. He smiles.

Recap
Jim tells Helen that he doesn't want to be reminded of Charlie Slater.
Charlie Slater tells Paul that he and Jim should get together some time.
Squawker the budgie pecks Des.
Gloria and Paul find Gloria's mother crying outside their mansion.
Slater Mansion
Gloria's mother cries that Charlie has locked her out. Paul goes to talk to him, but Gloria says Paul should just take them to a hotel. Paul protests and goes to knock on the front door anyway.
Charlie invites Paul in for a drink. He's obviously drunk and drinking more by the second. Paul tries to reason with him, but he says he has just thrown Gloria's mother out and doesn't want her back in. Then he throws Paul out too!
Paul tells Gloria and her mother that they can stay at the Robinsons rather than a hotel. They head off.
CHARLIE:(through the window) And don't bother to bring her back!
He collapses unsteadily into an armchair, still drinking.
Robinsons
Gloria's mother is apologising to the Robinsons for their intrusion. Helen lends them some nightclothes and insists that they don't need to go to a hotel. Gloria tells her mother that she has to leave Charlie.
In the kitchen, Paul is telling Jim about his conversation with Charlie. Jim apologises for the way he carried on about Gloria before.
Scott and Paul's room
Helen has made up Scott and Paul's bunk bed for Gloria and her mother. When Helen has gone, Gloria's mother starts to cry again.
Robinsons - kitchen
Jim and Paul are chatting about Charlie Slater. Jim explains about his aversion to Charlie Slater - but maybe it's just as well that he didn't strike it rich. If they'd ended up like Charlie they'd be much worse off, despite the money.
Scott and Paul's room - the following morning
Gloria's mother tells Gloria that she's angry with herself - she's been such a fool for putting up with Charlie. She resolves to tell Charlie that he can't hurt her anymore. Gloria tells Paul that her father has been drinking heavily for four or five years. She wishes her mother would do something about it. Paul hugs her.
Robinsons - Living Room
Charlie has arrived and Gloria's mum comes out to talk to him on her own. He tries to hug her, but she fends him off. Charlie starts apologising for his behaviour, but she's not having any of it - she says she's not coming home. She can't take anymore - Charlie has done this once too often. She wants a divorce.
Charlie is very angry and says she can't survive without him. He goes to hit her, but Jim comes out.
JIM: Not in my house, Charlie! Well...long time, no see.
Charlie is angry with Jim for his part in things, but Jim pointed out he was just giving his wife and daughter shelter when they needed it. He storms out.
Ramsays
Max comes in and finds Terry sitting at the kitchen table. He invites her to go on a job up to the mountains for a couple of days. It's urgent. Terry says she had something organised and isn't very pleased.
MAX: Are you doing the job or not?
TERRY: I can't.
MAX: OK then, you're sacked.
MARIA: Max...
MAX: You keep out of it.
Terry says walks out.
When Terry has gone, Maria tells Max that he's being unreasonable - and anyway, where will he get a good replacement? Max says he knows about a friend of Jim's who has a son who has just finished his apprenticeship. Maria realises that Max planned the row with Terry and he openly confirms it(!)
Paul comes in looking for Shane. They chat in the living room. Paul says he's got a lead on a job for Shane - there's a company called Fielding Enterprises going as a chauffeur to the boss. He gives Shane the number and tells him to ring up quick.
Shane immediately goes to the phone.
Robinsons
Lucy is asking Helen why Mrs Slater married Mr Slater in the first place (she's been stickybeaking!) Helen says it's really none of their business. Julie says that a new bank manager is starting today - a Mr.Martin who has transferred from Interstate.
Ramsays
Shane tells Maria that he's got an interview for the chauffeuring job. Just then, the new plumber's apprentice arrives and Max introduces him to Maria and Shane. They head off to work.
Shane is appalled that Max has fired Terry.
Outside the Ramsays
Max and his new apprentice are already at odds - the new apprentice apparently lost his driving licence a few weeks ago for being over the limit! Max isn't pleased (to say the least) and tells the new apprentice to clear off.
Ramsays
Max comes in on a rant and says that the boy's father set him up. Maria says it's no-one's fault but Max's for firing Terry. Maria says she'd better get a job herself if Max can't hang on to his assistants!
Maria tells Max that Terry was everything he needed - she was highly qualified, liked the work and could put up with Max(!). Maria refuses to step in with the driving and tells Max to give Terry a ring.
Max goes to find Shane to help him, but Maria stops him, saying Shane has got a job interview. Besides, Shane thinks Max's decision to fire Terry stinks - and Maria thinks the same. She laughs, knowing Max is beaten.
Robinsons

Recap
Max warns Terry off Shane.
Terry tells Shane that her husband is Gordon Miller - the same one who had a part in Shane's accident.
Shane has a new jobas a chauffeur - his employer, Mrs Fielding, tells him they're going to Canberra.
As the car phone is broken, Mrs Fielding uses the Ramsays phone and books a hotel room in Canberra for two under the name of Shane Ramsay. Max hears this and looks shocked.
Ramsays
Max tells Mrs Fielding to get off the phone and Shane tries to calm him down, explaining this is his new boss. Shane takes Max in the kitchen and shushes him. He explains that he's going to Canberra on a business trip. Max calms down and says he supposes that will be OK.
Max apologises to Mrs Fielding for getting angry before and starts singing Shane's praises, saying he's very honest and reliable. He also tells her about Shane's diving. Shane hustles Mrs Fielding out of the house!
Ramsay Street
Shane drives off. Mrs Fielding asks if Max always jumps to outrageous conclusions. Shane says Max's bark is a lot worse than his bite. She asks Shane to explain about his diving and he tells her about his back injury. He admits that he had a car accident and Mrs Fielding suddenly clams up and tells him she doesn't want to hear any more.
Ramsays
Maria asks Max if he's found anyone to replace Terry yet. He hasn't.
MAX: I met Shane's new boss today. A woman!
MARIA: How awful(!) What's she like?
When Maria hears the name Fielding, she says she thinks she's read something about them. But she can't remember the details. Anyway, she is distracted by Max going on a sexist rant about women in the workforce(!) Maria says she still wants to get a job - she's got more free time, now that the boys are almost grown up. Maria says if she gets remarried she'll need to support herself.
They start having words about their separation and Maria says that Max was the one who walked out - he took the easy way. Max says that any man would have done the same, given a promiscuous, lying wife. Maria looks upset and Max leaves.
Bank - Manager's Office
Julie brings Phil Martin some figures and he's pleased because she's brought them early. Julie says he's doing a really good job so far. They chat about their personal lives and he asks Julie if she has a boyfriend. Phil is still staying in a hotel. He starts reading the figures and is distracted when Julie asks him about his own family.
JULIE: Well, I'd better head back before I get into trouble with the new bank manager!
PHIL: Yeah I know, I've heard he's a bit of a monster!
Phil asks after Julie's car and she says it's still being serviced. He offers her a lift home tonight and Julie gratefully accepts.
JULIE: Well, if you insist.
PHIL: I do. Now get back to work before I give you the sack(!)
They both laugh.
Robinsons
Jim comes in and finds Paul there. He asks Paul if he's still going out with Gloria. He hasn't - she and her mum have moved to Adelaide to get away from Charlie. Paul misses her, but there's nothing to be done. Gloria has got a good job and she's trying to get her mum working too, so she won't have anything to be dependent on Charlie for. Jim says he's proud of Paul for how he handled the situation.
Ramsays
Terry knocks on the door and Maria answers it. Maria apologises for Max's behaviour. Terry has come round to see Shane, but he's gone away to Canberra with his new boss, Mrs Fielding. Terry is a bit surprised that Shane is with a woman, but Maria says it's a business relationship only. Maria tells her not to give up on Shane.
Robinsons
Lucy comes in wearing a dress and asks Jim what he thinks. He tells her it has a certain "je ne sais quoi" which just confuses Lucy. (She's carrying one of those plastic bags that you clip together yourself! Aw!!)
Lucy explains that she needs a long dress for dress up day at school tomorrow. She doesn't like this dress though - she thinks it's very old-fashioned. Jim suggests borrowing one of Julie's dresses, but she says she doubts Julie will let her.
Lucy goes into the living room.
SCOTT: You look stupid.
LUCY: Yeah, I know.
Lucy asks Scott to asks Julie if she'll lend her one of her dresses. Scott says there's no point him asking - she'll still say no.
LUCY: It's not fair.
SCOTT: That's life!
Ramsay Street
Phil is dropping Julie off and she thanks him for the lift. She looks a bit nervous and then invites Phil to come in for a drink. But he says he's got a lot of work to do. He drives off. Julie looks rather disappointed.
Robinsons
Lucy is at the window saying to Scott that she can see people kissing. But she's just making it up - although she says Julie was in the car with a man!
Julie comes in and Lucy and Scott grill her. But she says she just got a lift home with the bank manager.
LUCY: Is he good-looking?!
Julie tells her to mind her own business and goes into the kitchen.
JULIE: Lucy's being very childish.
JIM: Children often are.
Since Helen is out, Julie offers to take over making the dinner. She tells Jim about the new bank manager and says she hasn't had a lot to do with him on a personal level. Jim is confused and says that he thought Julie went out for a drink with him the other night! Julie says that was just a friendly gesture.
Ramsays, the following morning
Shane comes back from Canberra and says Mrs Fielding is a real slave-driver. She's apparently a complete workaholic. She never talks about her husband though.
Maria says that Terry has been around. Shane says he was rude to her the other night, but Maria says that Terry isn't holding a grudge - she came round to see him yesterday. She gives him Terry's note.
Robinsons
Julie is making breakfast for everyone. She is humming and appears in an excellent mood.
PAUL:(to Jim) What's brought all this on?
JIM: I dunno mate. But whatever you do, try not to spoil it!
Paul asks Julie to sew a button on his shirt and she readily agrees. Paul looks stunned.
SCOTT: You don't think Julie's caught some terrible disease, do you, Dad?
JIM: I wouldn't be too sure mate...but if she has I hope there's no cure for it!
Jim advises Lucy to strike while the iron's hot and ask Julie if she can borrow a dress.
SCOTT: I bet you two dollars she won't.
JIM: You're on!
In the living room, Lucy sidles up to Julie and explains about the dress up day at school. She asks nicely if she could borrow one of Julie's dresses. Julie tells her that as long as she looks after it, Lucy can chose any one she wants from her wardrobe. Lucy is very pleased and goes off to look.
JIM:(to Scott) I'll deduct it from your pocket money!
Smugglers Bar
Terry and Shane have had lunch. Shane says he thought about her all the time in Canberra. Terry says she has to tell Shane everything about her husband. She isn't still involved with him, but when she left he went crazy and threatened to kill her. She ran away and thought it'd be safe to come back to the city now. But she's been getting some threatening phone calls. She wants Shane to know what he's getting into.
Shane suggests that Terry leaves her flat and moves into Des's spare room. He'll ask Des about it. Besides, he likes the idea of Terry living almost next door.
A road
Shane is driving his employer's limo and gives Terry a lift home. On the radio, they hear:
"Convicted bank robber, Gordon Miller, has just escaped from a police van..."
He had been due to do ten years for armed robbery.

Recap
Terry panics because her husband has escaped from prison
Julie is in a good mood.
Shane asks Des if Terry can move in as a tenant.
Julie is very chirpy at the bank.
Shane takes Mrs Fielding to the hospital. She tells him he'd better not come in or he's fired.
Shane picks up some of Terry's stuff. With the letters is a note from her husband saying, "YOU'RE DEAD!"
Des's
Shane has rung the police - apparently Gordon has been sighted in Queensland and they should pick him up in a day or two. Terry is unconvinced. Shane says that the police are coming around later, but Terry wants to keep the affair to themselves.
Shane reassures Terry that this won't go on forever - and Gordon has no way of knowing where she is. He heads off back to work.
When he's gone, Terry locks the door.
Private hospital
Shane has arrived back with the car, but there's no sign of Mrs Fielding. Just then the car phone rings - it's an urgent message for Mrs Fielding. The caller tells Shane to find Mrs Fielding immediately and tell her to ring the office. Shane looks conflicted.
Inside the hospital
Mrs Fielding is comforting a man (Dan) who's very sick. Presumably this is her husband. He says he knows he can count on her to run the business.
Shane comes in and is about to knock the door when she overhears then talking. Mr Fielding is saying that if it hadn't been for her, he'd never have pulled through all the operations. Apparently he'll be out of hospital in a couple of weeks. Mrs Fielding is behaving very kindly.
Shane knocks the door and comes in. She isn't very pleased at all. Shane tries to explain about the message, but he can't get a word in. Mrs Fielding says that she only gets a few precious hours with her husband and she isn't to be disturbed.
Later at the car
Mrs Fielding and Shane get in the car. Mrs Fielding immediately rings the office - apparently a company is threatening not to sign a contract. She doesn't seem too concerned though.
Shane apologises for coming into the hospital, but she says she'll let it go, as long as Shane promises not to tell anyone about anything he saw or heard.
Ramsays
Maria and Danny are hanging out when Max comes in in a rage. He tells them that Gordon Miller has escaped from jail. He is very upset and says if he turns up anywhere near him, he'll tear him limb from limb!
Des's

Robinsons, the following morning
Helen is busying herself making the breakfast. Julie is still in a good mood and tells Helen she's starting a diet today. Julie offers Helen the use of the car today - she can get a lift with Des. Helen is taken aback and gratefully accepts.
HELEN: Julie...what's got into you?
Julie says she's just being herself(!) She goes outside to pick some flowers to "brighten up the bank a little".
Ramsays
Maria tells the boys that Max still doesn't want her to get a job. She's unqualified anyway. Shane suggests she goes back to school to get her HSc.
Max comes out and tells Shane that Gordon Miller has escaped. Shane tells him not to worry - there's nothing they can do about it.
Max still hasn't foud an apprentice.
Ramsay Street
Des tells Shane that he met a nice air hostess at the barbecue last night. Shane doesn't want to hear it now though, and goes straight in to see Terry.
Des's
The door is locked when Shane arrives. Terry lets him in and looks very jumpy. She makes Shane a coffee and he apologises for leaving her on her own last night. Terry thinks if Gordon was going to do anything, he'd have done it by now. She doesn't seem as anxious anymore.
Ramsay Street
Julie asks Des for a lift, saying that Helen really wanted to use the car. Des says that it's rather convenient(!) He asks her what he thinks of the new bank manager - she has been out for a drink with him after all. Julie says that he seems quite nice, but there's nothing going on between her and the bank manager. Des warns Julie that Phil is a married man with two kids.
Manager's Office
Julie comes in to give Phil a folder and he thanks her for the flowers. He also thanks her for her advice on the blinds - they look terrific. Julie asks Phil if he can give her a lift home tonight, saying her car still isn't fixed, and he agrees. He says he hopes the garage isn't taking advantage of her.
Des comes in with a folder and Julie excuses herself. He rolls his eyes about Julie's lie about the car.
Fielding Mansion
Mrs Fielding gives Shane some packages to deliver. When she's stepped out of the room, Shane looks at a picture of her husband. Then he heads off.
Just then the phone rings and Mrs Fielding answers it. She runs after Shane and says he has to take her to the hospital immediately - her husband has had a heart attack.
Private Hospital
Mrs Fielding rushes up the steps of the hopsital and a doctor meets her. You can't hear what's said, but clearly he tells her that her husband has died. She asks Shane to take her home.

Maria tells Terry to ask Max for the wages he owes her. She says that underneath it all, Max is really a very kind and sensitive person. Terry looks doubtful(!)
Job Centre

Phil is worried about gossip at the bank concerning him and Julie.

Danny is just off to take Wendy out for tea.
HELEN: I remember when I was your age.
DANNY: You must have a good memory!
Maria cuffs Danny over the back of the head and he apologises to Helen. Just then, Wendy comes out wearing a rather revealing dress. Helen and Maria are rather surprised(!) Maria whispers to Helen that Wendy is only 16!
In the living room, Wendy tries to get Danny to take her to a pub in town. He isn't keen because they're underage.
Maria is just heading out and Danny asks her for some money. She gives him $10. He says there's not much chance of living it up on $10!
Maria tells Helen quietly that she's rather skint - she wants to get a job, but Max still won't let her. Helen thinks it's only pride that's stopping Max making up with her.
Just then, Max arrives, and hustles Maria into a taxi.
Robinsons
Julie is getting dressed up to go out to dinner. Paul mocks her for going to so much trouble. Julie tells him that she's going out with the new bank manager - Phil Martin. Just then, there's a knock at the door and Paul answers it to Phil. He invites him in while Julie rushes off to finish getting ready.
Paul makes polite smalltalk with Phil, then Julie comes back and introduces Helen. He tells Julie that he's expecting an important phonecall, so he's had to cancel the restaurant - but he'll cook for her at his place.
Paul decides to nip over to Des's to get the gossip on Julie and Phil!
Des's
Paul joins Des on his sofa and starts grilling him about the bank. He tells Des that Julie has gone out with Phil tonight - she was all dressed up. Des looks a bit concerned. He tells Paul that Phil is alright though. Paul thinks it's odd for the bank manager to be moving in on the junior staff. Des agrees - especially when the bank manager is married!
High-rise block
Phil is just finishing his phonecall. He offers Julie another drink and they make smalltalk about their families and Gordon Miller.
Des's
Paul is stunned that Julie is knowingly going out with a married man. Des says that Phil is separated from his wife. Paul is even more surprised to hear that Phil has two kids! Des says he's really worried about Julie - both she and Phil are heading towards trouble. He says if Head Office find out it'll be explosive. Paul says he'll ask Jim to have a word. Des tells him to leave it a bit in case it's a crush that'll blow over.
Downmarket Pizza Place
Danny and Wendy are having a quick meal - he couldn't afford the other restaurant! Wendy isn't very impressed, but gets over it quite quickly.
A nice restaurant
Max and Maria are having a meal. They agree that their situation is all quite depressing. Max moans that he has to do everything on his own now - eat, sleep etc. Maria tells Max that she either needs more money, or to get a job. Max is seeing a solicitor next week - he says the most sensible thing is to separate. Maria is rather upset, but tells Max that she does want a divorce.
Downmarket Pizza Place
Danny and Wendy are finishing their meal. They chat about the other restaurant and Wendy says it's full of celebrities. She's all starry-eyed. She tells Danny if he saves up for a couple of weeks, he'll be able to afford to take her there. (That's all organised, then!)
Phil's flat
Phil and Julie are enjoying their meal. Phil says he feels a bit lonely on his own in the flat. Phil says that maybe Julie should go out with people her own age, but she says she'd rather be with Phil.
Nice restaurant
Max is shocked and asks Maria why she suddenly wants a divorce. Maria says they might as well finish things completely - she's given it a lot of thought and she has her own life to lead. Max says it isn't what he wants - not yet, anyway. Maria says they can sell the house, but Max says he never will. Max asks Maria if she's got another bloke.
Maria shouts at Max and says he's pathetic. Maria says he keeps nagging on about what she did all those years ago and it isn't fair. She's had enough of Max's stupid values. Max says it's hard to forget what she did with Danny running round in the house. Max says he may have had a bit of a fling, but he didn't get anyone pregnant! Maria gets to her feet and shouts at Max, much to the surprise of the other diners. Then she storms out.
Phil's flat
Phil and Julie are hanging out listening to music. Julie asks after Phil's children and he says he misses them, but he doesn't miss his wife. Phil says that they were a classic teenage romance - married too young. His wife was jealous of his success at the bank - she had no plans or ambitions of her own. He tried to include his wife in things, but she used to drink heavily at office functions. Also, she started having affairs with other men. Julie thinks that's awful. Phil says he'll never lose his kids though, just his marriage.
Phil tells Julie that he's thoroughly enjoyed their evening. He tells Julie he'd better take her home. At the door, Julie tells Phil that she doesn't want to go home. (The brazen hussy!)
