Toadie sabotages himself
Airs on Tuesday, February 19 2008 at 19:30 GMT on Five
Steph's shocked to find Toadie having a panic attack. Concerned, she endeavours to get to the heart of his problem forcing Toadie to admit his deepest fears: despite everyone's faith in him he feels like a fraud, a useless lawyer who will only let Susan down. Fearing he will fall apart in court, Toadie secretly attempts to get Susan's case adjourned. When his efforts fail, Toadie prepares to sacrifice his reputation in order to buy Susan enough time to get a new lawyer.
Frazer's is at a loss to know what to do with Ringo and contacts Prue. Ringo's furious when his mum arrives to check up on him and Prue deals out some tough love: if Ringo won't see a counsellor about his eating disorder, then she's taking him back to Muttatang.
When Rosie starts snooping at 'perfect' Marco's farm house the girls find out more about Marco than they bargained for: he's married!
Marco and Carmella kiss

Toadie struggles with his decision to opt out of defending Susan, but Steph helps him realise that abandoning Susan's defence will define the rest of his life. Toadie arrives at court and asks for an adjournment but Toadie's nerves are on edge when the Judge refuses. Toadie must proceed but when he hears the prosecutors damning opening remarks, Toadie's self doubts peak and he borders on a panic attack.
He comes clean to Susan about the attacks but she gives him the strength to continue. As we see (through flashback) the influence Susan has had on Toadie's life, Toadie is once more asked by the Judge to proceed with his case -can Toadie fight his inner demons and find the strength to defend Susan?
Ringo's sick of Pepper's interference in his life and when he discovers a caricature that Pepper has drawn of fellow teacher Helen, Ringo sees the perfect way of exacting his revenge. Though he'd planned to photocopy the cartoon to humiliate Pepper, he decides against it but accidentally leaves the original in the copier. Jessica pounces on the opportunity and suddenly the cartoon is plastered throughout the school. Helen vows that no-one leaves school till the culprit confesses. Pepper's reputation at school looks set to suffer even more.
Marco arrives at the farm house and Carmella hides the evidence of her and Rosie's snooping. But her knowledge of Marco's wedding photos proves too much and finally Carmella calls him on it. Marco lets Carmella know he is divorced but it's clearly a painful subject for him. They argue, then kiss.
Karl comes clean about Susan
Airs on Thursday, February 21 2008 at 17:30 GMT on Five
Toadie holds it together and manages to make it through his first few hours in court. Miranda's filled with guilt following her harshly-worded Victim Impact Statement, and apologises to Susan for her recent behaviour.
But there's a shock in store when Susan's fatigue symptoms return, prompting the prosecution to call Karl to the stand. If they can establish that Susan knowingly got behind the wheel while fatigued, the defence case is doomed. Karl is forced to admit the damaging truth -Susan drove the car knowing she was in no condition to do so.
Ringo admits he stole the cartoon from Pepper's folder, but insists he isn't responsible for plastering it all over the school. But Pepper's had enough of Ringo's fibs and refuses to believe him, prompting Ringo into action.
To save Pepper's job Ringo confesses to everything -even to drawing the picture in the first place. Pepper is touched by his gallantry, but then another person confesses -Jessica. Jessica's motivation soon becomes clear. She wants to spend some quality time with Ringo, even if it has to be in detention.
Bridget starts to remembering the accident
Airs on Friday, February 22 2008 at 17:30 GMT on Five
While giving evidence, Karl is forced to admit Susan had prior knowledge of her dizzy spells and she should have foreseen that she may have been a danger behind the wheel. Later, Miranda and Steve accuse Susan of trying to keep the information hidden to protect herself, and Susan feels their anger towards her is justified
Bridget gets her memory of the accident back and clearly recalls running onto the street, giving Susan no opportunity to avoid hitting her. She tells Riley and encourages him to write the story of her new found memory in his coverage for the local paper. When Bridget tells her parents what she's remembered, Miranda especially is concerned her hard line reaction may have irreversibly damaged her friendship with Susan.
Bridget's recollection gives Toadie new hope for Susan's trial.
Karl begins to suspect that Susan's symptoms are the signs of something more serious than menopause. He calls a friend for a second opinion and while not certain what Susan faces, he insists Susan goes to the hospital for tests immediately. Susan must endure a wait to discover what those tests reveal.
Ringo finds he has a pretty young admirer who won't take no for an answer. Tom is a reporter in his early 20's who will do anything he has to do to get the story.
