She wants her parents together, but worries her dad may be moving too fast - Steiger should wait for a signal from her before he does anything hasty.

Toadie lies wounded as Steph subdues Guy until the Police arrive. Toadie’s rushed to Hospital where he experiences two vivid dreams on the operating table.
