SALLYNow in PR? BRETTYeah, yeah, change of direction. SALLYAnd you still say that you’re here on a holiday. BRETTIs that so strange? I mean, take a look at that beach. SALLYThen why all the questions about Don Fisher and why were you asking Irene about the school grade average? BRETTJust making polite conversation. SALLYAnd with me? BRETTWell, I had to talk to you about something after you made it absolutely clear there was no hope for us, didn’t I? SALLYYeah, sorry about that. BRETTIt’s OK. You’ve moved on Sal. It’s cool. Flynn seems like a great guy. I hope you guys will be happy. SALLYThanks. BRETTI want you to know though I haven’t forgotten how good you were for me last time I was here and I handled that whole Woody situation really badly and I just hope there’s some way I can put that right.

SARAH MCKAY DROP-IN CENTRELARA and SEB walk out the kitchen.LARAShe’s nice, isn’t she? SEBYeah, June, she is. LARAShe got me all inspired. I asked mum and I’m starting Latin American dance classes again next week. SEBAwesome. LARAHey, why don’t you come along? You can join in if you want. SEBOh, no. I don’t think so. LARACome on. It will be fun. SEBI’d feel like a dork. LARAI guess that makes me a dork then. SEBNo, no, of course not. It’s just not my thing. LARAHow do you know? Look Seb, I was only asking you to come along and watch and if it’s going to ruin your image or something, then I completely understand. LARA walks away.SEBLara.
DON’S HOUSEDON and JUNE are sitting outside. SALLY walks up to them.DONAw, Sally. Em, good morning again. What can we do for you? SALLYWell I was just checking my e-mails and I received something that I thought you might find interesting. I came straight over. Two reports. Two internal education department reports. DONEm, well, what are they about? SALLYWell, the first shows that the valuation of the Summer Bay High site was done before the decision to close the school. JUNESo it could have been made on financial considerations. SALLYOh, almost certainly was. The seconds reports just blatantly incorrect. It gives the schools grade averages much lower than it actually is. DONWell, this is incredible. Who sent this? SALLYI strongly suspect it was Brett Egan. I don’t think it’s just a coincidence that he was here, especially after he was asking me all those questions. I mean, the thing is this might not help you get your job back Don, but it’s going to go a long way to keeping the school open. DONYes, yes it is. Well, Brett or someone has just levelled the playing field.
SUMMER BAY HOUSEJOSH and SHELLEY are in the kitchen.JOSHWell, if you could just tell her I came past. DANI walks in.SHELLEYWhy don’t you tell her yourself? I just back to. SHELLEY walks away.JOSHI didn’t whether to come past. I didn’t want to upset you. I was worried about you and I just wanted to make sure that you were OK. DANII am. I’m fine. JOSHGood. I just want to say one thing. Last night didn’t change anything. Not for me. I still feel exactly the same way about you as I did before. It wasn’t important. It didn’t matter. Baby, the only thing that mattered was that you were upset and I couldn’t do anything to help. DANIThank you for, em, being so. JOSHI’ll see you later then. Are you feeling OK? JOSH walks out. SHELLEY walks over to DANI.SHELLEYDani. DANIIt just won’t go away mum. Kane just won’t go away. DANI starts crying. SHELLEY and DANI cuddle. |
