'Sister Fact'
Airing Monday, 20th February 2006 at 17:35 on BBC One
After Rachel dropped the bombshell, Alex is forced to reveal he has another daughter – Katya, estranged from the family after she went off the rails following the death of her mother. Susan can’t believe Alex kept it from her and it rocks the trust she placed in him. Mention of Katya reopens old wounds and Alex reveals his deep shame. He blames himself for failing to deal with Katya’s risk-taking behaviour. Alex’s painful admission wins Susan over and she urges Alex to get in touch with Katya and repair the damage. Zeke’s delighted, but Rachel shares her father’s reservations – Katya’s reappearance may jeopardise their current happiness.
Celebrating the death of Tony Corbett, Paul, Izzy and Elle have a new lease on life – the menace is gone. But the recent threat has made Paul question the way he lives his life, and he realises he and Izzy have no real friends to celebrate with. He’s inspired to invite his son Cameron to join him in Erinsborough. Izzy’s reluctant to play step-mum yet again and is dubious of Paul’s comments about turning over a new leaf.
His confidence shattered by Stu’s teasing, Ned’s determined to give up his dreams of being a performer and return to Oakey. Even Lou’s offer of paid work isn’t enough to convince him to stay. But when he discovers Corey’s secret, he’s forced to make a moral choice – hurt Gino’s feelings by telling him the truth, or let Corey get away with his deception?

'Let's Mace A Deal'
Airing Wednesday, 22nd February 2006 at 17:35 on BBC One
Dylan reacts badly to seeing Roo inside and, despite Stingray’s plea, launches himself at his nemesis, fists flying. Roo learns that it was indeed Dylan, not Paul, who shopped him for the ScarletBar robbery. Roo cryptically reveals that he was about to exonerate the Timmins boys - but now Dylan’s blown it. It’s not until Janelle and the family visit Dylan and Stingray to share the “good news” of Paul’s deal with Roo that the boys learn how close they came to freedom.
Sky and Lou fear that Harold is headed for a fall if he continues to repress his anger at Paul. But when Lou urges Harold to express his true feelings, the depth of Harold’s denial becomes clear. He insists that Paul needs compassion, not vengeance, and throws Lou out of his house – if Lou can’t support him through this difficult time, they can no longer be friends.
Lou encourages Sky to visit the boys in prison and she admits her reticence is based on the fear of seeing her friends suffering and confusion over the future of her relationship with Dylan. While she still loves Dylan, she candidly admits doubts over whether she’ll be able to wait the ten years till he gets out.
Newly reconciled, Janelle and Kim are all over each other, regardless of their audience – much to Janae’s comic embarrassment. Kim feels threatened when Paul informs them of his bid to free the boys from jail, but Janelle is quick to assure Kim that while Paul has always been good to Dylan, he will never be replaced as the children’s father.
'A Place in the Son'
Airing Thursday, 23rd February 2006 at 17:35 on BBC One
Sky worries that Connor is relying on Harold’s denial to prop up his own unhealthy mental state. Toadie makes a desperate attempt to get through to his friend but Connor stands firm – working with Harold for the Salvos is the first time Connor has ever felt a sense of purpose in life and Toadie just has to accept that. However, Connor is given private cause for concern when Harold unthinkingly calls him “David”.
Despite a moment of frisson, Ned again denies his attraction to Elle. This is the final straw for Elle, already feeling rejected by Sky, and she considers returning home. Ned privately plans on telling Elle about his growing feelings. But just as he is about to confess, Elle twigs to the reading problem that so embarrasses him – how will Ned react?
To help score Boyd a receptionist job at the surgery, Janae finally faces up to Karl and apologises for her past behaviour.
Izzy finally appreciates how much Paul sacrifices for her and resolves to compromise on his son Cameron coming to stay.
When Gino loses funding for “Krakatoa”, Toadie suggests a musical based on Ned’s life. Gino loves the idea but first has to convince Ned to follow his dreams.
'The Friendless Summer'
Airing Friday, 24th February 2006 at 17:35 on BBC One
Ned becomes defensive and denies Elle's charge that he can't read, and Elle regrets that she may have ruined her chances of establishing a romantic involvement. In order to make Ned jealous, Izzy contrives a situation where Ned sees Elle kissing another man in the street. Ned is secretly peeved, but for appearances sake he pretends to be unfazed.
Connor fears that, because Harold called him 'David', it means Harold is trying to bring his son back to life through him (Connor). In order to get his thoughts in order, Connor withdraws from Harold and meets up with Toadie at the pub. Toadie is simply pleased that his mate has returned to him. Connor's anger pours out when he throws bottles and abuse at Paul's house. Toadie considers this a relatively healthy release, but Harold puts paid to that and he takes Connor home, where they slip back into denial again. Rachel goes to the movies with Bree and Alex has a strong suspicion that she's deceiving them and meeting up with Jake instead. Susan agrees but still maintains that Rachel should be left to come to her own conclusions. As it happens, Rachel does go to the movies with Jake. She arrives back early and admits to Bree that Jake is not worth the effort. She finally admits her deception to Susan and Alex and both adults realise that Rachel is a good sensible kid.
Summer arrives home earlier than expected and is dismayed that nobody - except her father - seems rapt to see her. She meets up with Bree at the General store, but it's not long before Summer realises that Rachel has replaced her in Bree's affections. When Summer notices Zeke on the outer, she realises he is a kindred spirit. :angel:
