Extended Summary

Amanda races into the house looking for Kelli, panicking and desperate that Ethan is about to blow her world out of the water. Kelli recoils in shock at the news that Ethan is still ‘alive’ and secretly fears her plan may about to be revealed. Kelli quietly goes into damage control and sets about putting a new plan in to action.

Ethan later arrives on Amanda’s doorstep demanding a large sum of cash – or else he will reveal the incriminating photos of him and Amanda in bed together. Once he disappears, Kelli insists they break into his motel room and steal the photos and camera. Amanda thinks she’s crazy but is prepared to do anything.

They head to the motel and Amanda is more than relieved as she rummages through Ethan’s belongings and finds the evidence. She and Kelli take to it with a match but as they watch it go up in flames, Ethan storms into the room. Ethan ‘realises’ all his blackmailing power is gone and Amanda is convinced she has won the battle. Little does she know, behind her back, Kelli and Ethan share a devious smile – their evil plan is back on track.

James and Kit are having a romantic dinner when Kim arrives and reminds Kit that they were going to look for a midwife on the internet. Kim sees that he is imposing and leaves but is happy Kit has found herself such a nice guy. Later, James notices Kit rubbing her temples – she’s suffering from a bad headache. James convinces Kit to the hospital and have things checked out. Later, Rachel arrives home and informs Kim of Kit’s visit to the hospital. Kim wonders why he wasn’t called but Rachel reassures him everything is okay. Kim tells Rachel that he’s feeling increasingly left out when it comes to his own baby.

James is back at the hospital working a shift but is now looking much more tired. Nurse Julie hands him some medicine and asks him if he is okay to administer it. James attempts to inject medication into a patient but is stopped by Rachel, who informs him that patient has already had their dose for the day. Rachel and Julie tell him his actions could have caused the patient to die. James convinces them not to tell the hospital board – he is adamant it won’t happen again. Rachel and Julie begin to doubt his ability to cope with the stress of the job but agree to keep the incident quiet. James gets home, shaken by the events of the shift. He pulls out his dope and is about begins to roll a joint to calm his nerves. But as he does so, Kit arrives home and catches him in the act. Busted!
