Extended Summary

While Morag tells Fisher the truth whether he is the father of Bobby or not, footage from the past (1970s) is shown.

Barbara, Morag and Fisher are shown in the footage. They are around 20 years old.

Morag explains to Fisher that he is the father of Bobby (emotional music plays). Fisher is very surprised!

Fisher talks to Morag at the hospital after she has told him the whole story. He does not want anyone to find out that he is her father, not yet anyway.

Morag does not like the fact that Alf told Bobby that Morag was her real mother. She talks to Alf about it at the hospital.

Morag sees the Bobby/Morag headline in the newspaper. She is shocked.

Vicki will start in Carly’s class. They do not get on well initially.

Rhonda is at Lance’s place. They spend time together. Lance and Rhonda organise a blind date for Martin.

Martin has met his blind date (Leanne) and they both like each other; Martin pushes her gently down on the couch to kiss her.

Tom asks Pippa, Carly and Steven, “How would you like to go and live in London?” Everyone is stunned by his question.
