Karen asks Ailsa if she can use Alf’s typewriter. It is OK.

Bobby comes home. She says she feels a bit off today. She doesn’t tell Fisher what really happened.

But after a while she tells him what really happened. Fisher wants to call in police. Bobby begs him not to. They hug. (Emotional music plays)

Karen writes a love letter to Steven on Alf’s typewriter. It takes a long time until she gets it right. (Voiceover of what she writes while emotional music plays).

Bobby and Fisher talks more about how crazy Chris acted today since he thinks that Bobby told Wendy that she is pregnant. Fisher still wants to call in police. Bobby say no.

Fisher and Bobby drive to caravan park so Bobby can speak to Wendy.

Bobby talks to Wendy. Wendy is very angry with Bobby for not being sincere with her in the first place.
