'Mad About The Boy'
Airs Monday, April 3 2006 at 16:35 GMT on BBC One
Max and Lyn learn that Oscar is with Steph but relief turns to concern when she fails to return home. Steph knows that Lyn will be worried but rational thought is eclipsed by her need to escape the fear and isolation she feels at home. When Stu finds Steph, she’s distressed and feverish. Max feels certain the fever is a cancer symptom – time is running out. When Steph’s version of the day’s events doesn’t add up, concern only grows for her mental state. Stu agrees with Max that Steph isn’t fit to make medical decisions for herself, but Karl insists there’s nothing unduly worrying about her behaviour. When Max’s last-ditch attempt to convince Steph to get treatment fails, Stu empathises with Max’s sense of helplessness and uses his role as a cop to force Steph’s hand. Evoking an Involuntary Treatment Order, he apprehends Steph for a 72-hour mental health assessment. Steph might be forced to accept chemotherapy, but will she ever forgive Max or Stu?
Paul warns Elle that Ned doesn’t love her as much as she does him. What’s more, he believes Ned is still in love with Izzy and only wanted to live with them to be close to her. Furious, Elle condemns her dad’s hurtful pride and moves out permanently with plans to buy her own flat.
Elle insists she’s not jealous of Sky and Ned’s on-stage romance but it’s all show. When Gino adds yet more “romantic” scenes to the musical, green-eyed Elle makes some decidedly unflattering adjustments to Sky’s sexy, skimpy costume.
'The Pie Who Loved Me'
Airs Tuesday, April 4 2006 at 16:35 GMT on BBC One
A frightened Steph begins her involuntary mental health assessment at the hospital, furious at Max and Stu for putting her there. Karl warns Max that nothing good will come of it but Max stands firm – this is the last possible way of treating Steph’s cancer. Max’s confidence is shaken when he realises that his one ally, Stu, only helped Max because he genuinely thought Steph was unbalanced. Max insists Steph is not unhinged, simply mistaken. Stu is ashamed to realise his unresolved issues over Sindi led him to make a grave mistake and apologises profusely to Steph. She forgives Stu but can’t do the same for Max, telling him their marriage is over.
Steph’s saga at the hospital keeps Lyn from an appointment with Paul. Cooped up in the house and brooding over his conflict with Elle, Paul vents at Lyn, threatening to let her go. Standing strong, Lyn calls Paul’s bluff, lecturing him on the importance of family over business. Paul backs down, impressed with Lyn’s mettle, and their odd alliance lives to see another day.
When Toadie “pulls a sickie”, Tim Collins gets Connor to prove he’s faking. Connor pays Stingray for footage of Toadie at a pie-eating contest and is delighted by the irony of Toadie getting genuinely sick from overeating. But Toadie offers Stingray a higher price for the evidence and comes out on top.

Janae confronts Karl, whose uncertainty only seems to confirm he slept with Janelle. Meanwhile, Janelle reels from the fear Janae is ill - and that she couldn’t confide in her mum. Kim explains why, and accepts some parental guilt as well. When it’s time to go to the hospital for results, however, the family rallies around Janae, refusing to let her face the news alone.

Steph’s symptoms prove viral rather than cancer-related, however Karl reminds her she is still battling a life-threatening disease. Upon her release from hospital he asks her again if she’ll consider having treatment, but Steph’s determined to do it her way. The only compromise she’ll make is to have the baby safely delivered by C-section at 36 weeks, and only then will she start chemo and only if her condition worsens. Lyn tells Max who begs her to lobby on his behalf, he’s desperate to have his wife back. Lyn does, but although swayed, Steph stick to her guns and leaves for the health farm without reconciling with Max.

Janelle remains on the outer and is privately gutted when Janae chooses Kim over her as one of her support persons. When Janae, and by implication Boyd, are given the all clear, it’s a joyous occasion that brings the family together. All by Janelle who quietly mourns the estrangement between her and her daughter. Janae, meanwhile, suppressing guilt for putting Boyd through hell, is full of plans to excel and announces she intents to pursue a career as a nurse, so she can work with Boyd as a doctor. Further evidence of her new outlook on life comes with her declaration that she also intends to try out for the captaincy of the basketball team. Janelle finally gets her moment to open up and admit fault - she had set the wrong examples at times. She makes it clear that Janae only needs to be true to herself to win friends and love. Mother and daughter reconcile.

When Izzy’s pleas for Elle to return home fall on deaf ears, it takes a few wise words from Ned to turn Elle around. Elle agrees to come back under two conditions: first, Paul must seek medical advice and second, accept and support her relationship with Ned. However, over a tense family dinner, Paul’s male pride again causes him to lash out at Ned. Elle retracts her offer to return home, leaving Izzy fearful for Paul’s progress. Without Elle, can Paul ever get better?

Desperate to throw Paul off the scent, Lou resorts to drastic measures to save his friend.
His past treatment of women called into question, Toadie vows to educate and better himself in relation to the fairer sex. Ironically, the more Toadie learns about women, the less he is convinced he had it wrong in the first place.
