Marilyn’s former actions may ruin her and John’s chances of fostering a baby. Hannah and Chris follow their dreams, encouraged by each other.
Extended Summary
Ash goes surfing before he’s fully recovered from the kidney operation. Back at the house, Phoebe and Hannah talk about the impending paternity results, and Hannah going on a date with Chris. Ash arrives home, denying that he’s overdoing it. Ash gets ready and Phoebe reassures him that she loves him and that the results won’t change that. Kyle arrives and they all go to the hospital. All three are shellshocked when they find out that Kyle is the father, Ash especially. They go back to the house to talk things over.
Worried about the DOCS meeting, Marilyn suggests she and John practise for the interview. Roo and Leah encourage them, telling them just to talk about how well they work together as a team, and they reminisce about Jett. Leah gets roped into posing as the DOCS interviewer to help them. Later on, the actual interview with Mary from DOCS seems to be going well, until Mary takes a call. She is told that Marilyn abducted a baby and desite Marilyn’s protestations that it was years ago, it could ruin their chances.
On their date, Hannah encourages Chris to give being a lifeguard another go, Chris asks John if he has any positions available and it turns out one is coming up, which Chris can go for if he gets his bronze medallion. Hannah tests Chris on lifesaver knowledge and they are playfully kissing when Phoebe, Ash and Kyle enter. Chris asks casually who the baby daddy is and Phoebe tells him it’s Kyle, getting a jokey reaction from Chris. Hannah hustles him out of the door, leaving the subdued trio to discuss the situation. Ash gets up suddenly and leaves partway through the conversation.
On the beach Hannah and Chris find Ash exercising a little too hard. Hannah tries to advise him to take things slowly but when they return from getting gelato Hannah rushes to his aid, seeing that he’s bleeding. Hannah fixes him up, and afterwards Chris is bubbling over with praise, seeing how skilfully Hannah handled things. She ends up confessing that she’d like to have been a paramedic and Chris encouragingly tells her to follow her dreams, echoing her earlier advice to him.
Phoebe and Kyle continue to talk and Ash returns. Kyle leaves them alone and a distressed Ash tells Phoebe that he’s out, leaving her in tears and alone.
