Tasha is still locked in the bathroom, anbd Irene explains the situation with Josh.

He loves Eloise, and she is dying. Max and Beth talk about the situation, Beth assuring him that Jade does care – everyone is just tired and stressed at the moment. Max maintains that Jade is a drama queen – being so upset after just an arguement with Seb. Max is upset about how calm Eloise is, and Beth assures him that she must just feel at peace, having accepted what is going to happen – the best thing to do is make the most of the time she has left. Max asks if Dani will go to prison, and Beth is only able to tell him that they will do all in their power to stop her, and they will fight iot if the courts get it wrong. Jade comes and apologises to Max, and when he leaves she talks to Beth, appreciative of all her support

She refuses to open up about anything – especially Josh, but he manages to get her out of the bathroom. She rushes to her room without talking to Irene. Flynn isn;t sure where to go from there, and Irene wonders if Josh’s plans will help Tasha blend into society, and help track down her relatives.

Flynn has done some research, and figures that they’re looking for a “Thorpe that lives in Yangara (sp?) with a link to Tasha”. Sally wonders if Irene realises what could happen if they were to contact Tasha’s relatives. And maybe Tasha doesn’t want to find her family.

BREAK

Beth leaves as she has people coming to look at the farm, and Colleen is shocked that Beth will not be in court to support Dani, but Irene thinks that it would be stranger if both Beth and Shelley were in attendance. Flynn arrives, and talks to Irene about Tasha’s actions the previous night “Jesse said that Tasha took off last night…? Naked, and covered in mud…”. Flynn thinks he has a starting place from the list that Irene gave him, and is going to follow it up
