When Piper witnesses the closeness between Terese and Brad, she begins to suspect that Ned is right - something is going on between them. She informs Ned, who in turn goes to Lauren. He is upfront about his concerns and doesn't understand why Lauren is sticking her head in the sand.
Although Lauren defends Brad, a seed of doubt has been planted and she starts to wonder what is going on. Things are further complicated when Lauren catches a glimpse of Ned in the nude - it's a charged moment for both of them until Lauren breaks the gaze and retreats.
Meanwhile, Sonya confronts her uncle Walter and is full of questions. Walter answers all of her questions honestly and openly, genuinely wanting to be a part of Sonya's life. With so much on her plate, Sonya feels as though she can't deal with Walter right now and asks him to leave. Walter accepts this decision, but a mysterious phone call with 'Roxanne' reveals that he's still hiding something.
Elsewhere, Piper's initial suspicions that Brodie caused the Lassiters blast resurface. After Terese reveals that she and Brodie had an argument on the day of the explosion, her worry grows. She messages him and is stunned when he shows up in person the next morning.
Tuesday
Tyler spots Piper and Brodie together and inserts himself into the conversation, until Piper gives Tyler his marching orders. Brodie then lets slip a detail about the explosion that he couldn't possibly know. Suspicious again, Piper questions him until Brodie becomes wary. Piper flat out accuses him of masterminding the explosion and Brodie realises that she only agreed to meet him in order to question him. He stalks off, but not before giving Piper a scare.
At home, Piper fields a call from a worried Tyler and tells him to back off. But Piper is unaware that Brodie has appeared in the Willis backyard, looking intense and more than a little menacing.
Meanwhile, Sonya finds Terese and offers a timely warning against her charming but unreliable uncle Walter. Terese claims that she's not romantically interested, but when Walter seeks her out, she takes comfort from something he says and asks him out for coffee. Later, Paul is shaken when he spots them in an intimate moment. His hopes for a thaw with Terese are shattered.
Elsewhere, Steph advises Lauren to confront Ned after their "moment" over his dropped towel. Ned plays his cards close to his chest and Lauren is left more confused than ever afterwards. At the same time, Ned tells Brad that he's interested in an older woman and Brad encourages him to go for it.
Wednesday
When Charlie pays another visit to Erinsborough, Mark praises Steph's parenting and declares that she'll be an expert next time she has a baby. Steph is thrown by this comment. Later, she confesses to Toadie that she didn't know what to say - with her mental health issues and personal history, she never imagined more kids would be on the agenda. Toadie recommends Steph tells Mark how she feels.
Unfortunately, Mark pre-empts Steph's confession with an honest declaration of a desire for kids of his own. He doesn't think they're ready for that yet, but he hopes she'll consider whether it could be on the cards one day. Steph doesn't have a chance to reply as they're interrupted by the sound of Charlie having a fight with local bully Archie.
Meanwhile, Brodie confronts Piper with evidence that proves his alibi at the time of the explosion. Tyler warns Piper against any more dangerous and unwise investigating, but she feels patronised and an argument breaks out between the pair. Piper sees Brodie as he's leaving Erinsborough and he claims that he can tell Tyler is in love with her. Piper is adamant that it's not the case, but later starts to think that Brodie might be on to something.
Elsewhere, Paige is feeling hopeful about her future with John until she learns that a woman was looking for him at The Waterhole - and she was calling herself his girlfriend.
Thursday
John is astounded to come face-to-face with Mandy, a woman who claims she is the love of his life. He has no memory of her whatsoever and grills her on his past life. Paige is suspicious when Mandy is vague and can't prove that she and John were a couple with photos or messages. Paige shares her misgivings with John, but he is so desperate to cling onto the hope that Mandy is a link to his past that he suggests that Paige leave him and Mandy alone to talk.
Paige is devastated, but Nate thinks she's over-investing and wonders if John is really worth it. When Paige returns to see Mandy kissing John, she's heartbroken. It really seems like she's losing John to another woman.
Meanwhile, Terese urges Sonya to reconsider giving Walter a chance. Sonya takes Terese's advice on board and uses the opportunity to talk about her parents with Walter. However, when Walter mentions seeing her parents before they headed off to a masquerade ball, Sonya is thrown - her parents never did that sort of thing and the only time was on the night they died. Walter covers his tracks, but a suspicious Sonya vents her concern to Aaron.
Elsewhere, Steph is astounded when Charlie confesses to beating up Archie because he wouldn't let him have a go on his remote control car. Steph confides in Mark that she's struggling - she thought they were really connecting, but this incident is just another reminder that she doesn't know her son at all. However, it seems there's more than meets the eye here and Charlie is hiding the truth to protect Steph.
Friday
John asks Paige to keep her distance now that Mandy is back on the scene, but Piper advises her that it's her duty to herself and to John to properly investigate everything Mandy has said. Putting Bailey to work hacking, Paige soon learns there are no Jason Joneses who match John's photo. Paige confronts Mandy, but John clamps down hard on her for interfering again.
Later, Amy advises Paige to use what she knows about John to further test Mandy. Paige tries again to discredit Mandy's claim, but will she be successful?
