The girlfriend test
Paige and her mystery man John do all they can to uncover his identity. Then a woman claiming to be his partner turns up.
Having fallen head over heels, Paige had been pulling out all the stops to help John Doe recover his memories. As she inches closer to her mystery man, traumatic visions and a woman claiming to be from his past threaten to stall any hope of romance.
Desperate for answers to his identity, John (Andrew Morley) has turned to hypnotherapy. Karl (Alan Fletcher) puts the amnesiac under and John starts seeing flames. Noticing his patient isn’t coping, Karl pulls him out of the trance. John is so disturbed by what he’s seen he rejects Paige’s (Olympia Valance) attempt to go on a date.
Another hypnotherapy session further rattles John, who thinks Paige is the brunette girl he sees in his flashbacks. John admits to Paige that while he is attracted to her, his gut instinct is stopping him from pursuing his feelings.
Later John is haunted by nightmares similar to the visions he had during hypnotherapy. Paige seeks Nate’s advice on how to cope with post-traumatic stress disorder. They try a few tactics but the one that works best is co-napping.
Lying beside each other, Paige tries talking to John like she did when he was in hospital and he finally drifts off. When he is asleep Paige reveals just how deep her feelings for him are so she is elated when he wakes feeling refreshed, raising Paige’s hopes of a chance for romance.
Little does Paige know, a woman claiming to be John’s girlfriend has turned up at The Waterhole. When John and Mandy (Kristy Best) meet up and kiss, Paige is heartbroken and wonders what her place in John’s life is now. Piper encourages her sister to check whether Mandy is who she says she is. With a little help from Bailey, Paige disproves one of Mandy’s lies but John won’t hear it and lashes out at Paige for interfering.
Believing that she may have lost the man she loves, Paige gets Amy’s advice. Amy suggests Paige use what she has learnt about John to test Mandy. So Paige visits John and Mandy, offering a Hawaiian pizza as an apology and insisting to Mandy that it’s John’s favourite.
Mandy offers a piece to John, who immediately gets suspicious. If Mandy was his girlfriend, surely she’d know of John’s allergy to pineapple. Can Paige catch Mandy in a lie before she loses John forever?
