'Kiss Congeniality'
Airs Monday, April 24 2006 at 17:35 BST on BBC One
An indignant Karl denies any ulterior motive in treating Zeke. But Katya isn’t convinced. Katya’s concern increases when Susan springs to Karl’s defence after Katya questions his character. Rightly assuming Katya is interfering with Susan’s parenting, Karl warns Susan she needs to make it clear she (Susan) is Zeke and Rachel’s mother – not Katya. Susan agrees, and promises to stop bowing to Katya. However, when Katya misinterprets an innocent, intimate moment between Karl and Susan, they realise they’ve got a rough road ahead.
As word gets out about the imminent opening of Paul’s new cafe, the community declares its intention to continue to support the General Store, and Harold, in particular. However, despite a display of support from Susan and an offer of help from Max to form an alliance with ScarletBar, Harold is strangely resigned to his fate, struggling to accept escaping traditional “punishment” for attacking Paul.
After Stu warns Izzy to stay away from Ned, an “emotional” Izzy attacks Ned for betraying her trust – she feels so violated. Izzy goes on to “accidentally” reveal Elle’s rent-a-crowd stunt, claiming Elle must have little faith in Ned. However, Izzy’s scheming only brings Ned and Elle closer together. As Paul’s condition worsens and the more imminent Elle’s departure becomes, Izzy resorts to drastic measures, making the ultimate sacrifice for Paul.
'Wake Up And Sell The Coffee'
Airs Tuesday, April 25 2006 at 17:35 BST on BBC One
Ned is swamped with guilt in the wake of his indiscretion with Izzy. While Izzy is taken aback by the genuine heat with Ned she remains focussed on her goal – to help Paul back on his feet by keeping Elle in Erinsborough. Everything goes according to plan, with Ned calling things off with Elle, and Elle returning to Paul for comfort. Izzy’s thrilled when Paul shrugs off his phobia and at last re-enters the world with his old fighting spirit. But Ned’s guilt over Elle and his love for Izzy threaten to bring Izzy’s happy world with Paul crashing down – will her fast-talking keep Ned quiet?
Lou’s frustrated with Harold’s reluctance to fight Paul’s new cafe, arguing that Harold’s guilty conscience will be the death of the General Store. Toadie and Connor rally around, promising to remain loyal to Harold and Lou but Paul campaigns hard, and the opening of “Lucinda’s” (named after Elle) is a huge success. Lou warns Paul that he won’t go down without a fight but Paul’s unfazed – bring it on!
With O-week approaching, Stingray’s mind is on the University Media degree he’ll be missing out on. Toadie provides hope, encouraging Stingray to show his doco to a maverick film lecturer and get in via the back door. Stingray is forced to think “crazy” to capture the lecturer’s attention.
'Tiny Weeny Free Bikini'
Airs Wednesday, April 26 2006 at 17:35 BST on BBC One
Max realises that he’s been so preoccupied with his marriage troubles that he’s neglected Boyd, so they spend the day together. Their renewed closeness is put to the test when Steph asks Boyd to make sure Max isn’t home when she returns from the health farm the next day. Max refuses to abide by Steph’s wishes and Boyd is forced to physically restrain Max from entering the house.
Toadie gives Janae cause to be insecure about her relationship with Boyd, suggesting that when he goes to Uni, he’ll be smitten with all the Uni girls. In an effort to keep him interested, Janae attempts to lift the ban on their intimacy. A phone call interrupts proceedings and, even though he’s actually talking to Steph, Janae thinks Boyd is being unfaithful to her. Boyd simply can’t be bothered with her immaturity.
The General Store takes a beating from the introduction of Paul’s café. Harold’s guilt won’t allow him to fight back, but when it’s clear that Lou and Sky are also paying the price, he confronts Paul. Paul won’t back down and Harold decides to fight fire with fire. When Connor and Toadie offer their excess bikinis to the General Store (a free bikini with every main meal) Harold and Lou certainly appear to have won this round against Paul Robinson.
Despite working frantically, Dylan fails to make enough money through the hotdog cart to win Paul’s business grant. Paul, keen to stir trouble with the Bishops, offers Dylan a job at the café, but Dylan declines. He is determined to stick with his father and keep him in work no matter what.
'Varsity Boos'
Airs Thursday, April 27 2006 at 17:35 BST on BBC One
Steph finally agrees to talk to Max, but only to tell him that she will never forgive his past misdeeds and that their marriage cannot be repaired. Max pleads but Steph doesn't waver, not even when Boyd reminds them that their love should overcome any obstacle, regardless how big. But when Max packs the last of his belongings, the finality of the act makes him and Steph realise that they have too much to lose and they finally reconcile.
Sky's high expectations for uni life are not met when she fails to instantly mesh with other students. She is hoping to meet kindred souls and is very disappointed when, rather than joining up for various causes, they're only interested in joining up for a pub-crawl.
Janae remains insecure about holding onto Boyd now he's starting uni. Her inferiority complex is further piqued when she gets the impression Boyd thinks she's not smart enough for him. Janae spies on Boyd at uni and, when she sees him interacting with a girl, she warns her off him… or else.
Janelle uses Bree as slave labour for the book re-write.
Lyn returns home to the bad news that Gino has replaced her at the salon. She now faces the task of finding a new job to pay the bills, which she knows will be very difficult for a middle-aged woman with a dependent child.

Max, grateful to be back with Steph and believing all is well with her, agrees to support Steph on her terms. But Steph admits to Susan that she is feeling extremely ill. An appointment with Karl confirms that her cancerous lump has enlarged. Steph resolves to keep the news from Max and Lyn, swearing Susan and Karl to secrecy. She doesn’t think she’ll be able to withstand the pressure of her family wanting her to have treatment, if they know the truth.
The cafe war is still in progress. Harold has given the last of the bikinis away and new ammunition has to be found. Paul again tempts Dylan to work for him. Sky, protective of her Granddad, threatens to end her relationship with Dylan if he works for Paul. Proud, Dylan accepts Paul’s offer. Sky, taking advice from Harold, makes peace with Dylan, but warns him he’s in for a battle.
Lyn, aware of her limited job opportunities and increasing money worries, considers accepting Paul’s to work for him despite Susan’s objections.
Sky’s disappointment with University is apparent - she is a “little fish in a big pond”. Determined to carve her niche she hopes that the University Radio will be the answer. Boyd, loving University, is puzzled when the girls in his classes seem to be avoiding him. Janae continues to hide her bullying tactics from Boyd but is worried she will be exposed.
