Irene tells cop that Diana wouldn’t want to meet her in dark ally right now – and Morag & cop warn Irene bout make threats against Diana.

HUNTER HOUSE – Tash is looking for her nail polish, which Tilly has “borrowedâ€. Tash want to spend time with Robbie but he has to bail to go to work. Tash discovers that Tilly has used up all the nail polish, and tilly (inadvertently) makes things worse, by asking Tash how her nails look.

DINER – hayley approach Diana. Hayley insists that she doesn’t like being spoken to like the way Diana did. Diana assures hayley that the authorities need to be informed what kind of person (violent etc) Irene really is. Diana then comes op with a classic – she says that she is grieving for Chloe as much as Irene is (yeah, right) but she’s not the one loosely control off her emotions. Hayley isn’t impressed with Diana, but she holds her tongue and bails. As hayley does this, Robbie enters and goes to kitchen. Colleen tells him to do dishes (Robbie sound not impressed). Dan enters kitchen – wonders if Robbie has done assignment due tomorrow. Robbie says he’s all but done – but when Dan is gone, Robbie says (to self) that he’s not started it yet.

HUNTER HOUSE – Tash is watching something on TV when Beth enters entertainment room. Beth says that she always watches “better homes & gardens†on Fridays (nice cross promoting by Ch 7) Beth then says there’s a doco on pyramids later. Tash decides to bail to room (she clearly isn’t liking live with Robbie family).

DINER – collen is cleaning up some plates Robbie drops (and broke). Colleen is worried when Robbie takes 3 plates of food at once out to customer. The 1-st 2 deliveries are fine – but then Robbie gets too self assured - he puts Dan’s meal at very edge of table and food falls into Dan’s lap. Colleen insists that diner will pay dry cleaning etc. colleen then tells Robbie to get mop rather than use apron etc to clean mess. Robbie has trouble with mop & bucket – water & sauce from meal cover his shirt. Colleen tells Robbie to go – and Robbie soon realises that he won’t be getting more shifts. As Robbie exits (backwards), Morag enters –0 and chastises Robbie for bump into her. Morag approaches Diana – and is pleased that Diana is so smug about her chances of getting custody of Olivia. Morag insist that she LOVES it when ppl are like that – its all the better when Morag is then victorious. When Morag exit, Diana ring lawyer – ask to check Irene’s history.

When they’ve gone, Hyde not like it when Irene says that she doesn’t need his help cleaning up.

HUNTER HOUSE – Tash wakes Robbie who is keen for more sleep (since he only got a handful of hours after finish assignment).

BEACH HOUSE – Irene is busy trying to make things perfect at her house when Morag arrives, with Diana, lawyer & mediator close behind. Mediator thanks Irene & Diana for letting mediation take place in more personal seating. Diana insists that they begin – so mediator can determine what’s best for Olivia.

BEACH HOUSE – Morag insists that Olivia is better off with Irene because of Chloe’s distant relationship with Diana, i.e. Morag tells (female) mediator about Diana thinking Chloe was a gold digger.

BEACH HOUSE – Diana brings up the subject of Irene’s own kids being placed into care, but Morag counters this with Irene’s great rapport with foster children. Diana asks Irene if she has criminal record. Irene laughs it off – but Diana sys that Irene was charged in 1985 with stealing form employer.

Then things change BIG time – when Olivia come downstairs and says things like “don’t let her (Diana) take me away†Irene hugs Olivia with all her heart (note – Olivia’s plea was awesomely heart felt and moving)
