Number 22/ Ramsay Street
Donna drags Ringo out of the house both of them coughing. Steve, Karl and Susan are on the scene.
Erinsborough Hospital
Karl talks medical stuff. Ringo seems way more ill than you'd expect for someone who was in a vaguely smokey room for all of two minutes. Donna is concerned and Karl tells her he'll keep her updated. She tries to call Elle but gets no answer.
Ramsay Street
The fire brigade put the fire out and Elle wants to know if it was arson. The firedude doesn't think it was but asks if anyone has been acting sus. Susan overhears and is suspicious, she looks up and sees Katie and Harry standing watching the scene.
Erinsborough Hospital
There's some typical hospital coffee banter. Bridget shuffles through from her room to see what's going on. She reckons there'll be better communication when she's in charge. Susan's back. Donna collars Kar and panics.
DONNA: What's happening, how is he?
KARL: We're just waiting on blood test results.
DONNA: Is he going to be ok, is he going to be scarred for life, is he gonna live?!
KARL: Donna, he's alert and...
DONNA: Can you just tell me?
BRIDGET: Well he's out of danger right Dr Kennedy?
KARL: That is correct Dr Parker, yes. Now I have to speak to the...
DONNA: Can I see him?
KARL: Yes you can, one at a time and for a short time and you do all the talking.
DONNA: Oh. I'll give it a go.
Karl and Susan share one of their looks. Good stuff.
Donna goes in and tells Ringo how scared she was and asks why he didn't get out quicker when he saw the smoke. He tells her he thought she was still there. Donna is touched and goes to get him some water. Bridget comes in.
BRIDGET: I'm warning you now. Don't eat the food. It sucks.
Harold's Store
Callum has had a well cool day watching the emergency services. Police cars, fire trucks and ambulances all in one day. Toadie tells him to think about how he'd feel if he lost all the stuff in his room. Callum wouldn't miss all his school stuff! Susan comes in and tells Kate to tell the police anything she saw. Callum overhears Kate getting angry that Susan suspects her.
KATE: I am sick of the Robinsons running my life!
LOU: I wish you'd told me that before I hired you.
Lou tells her that Elle owns Harold's. Kate quits her job.
KATE: I wish her house had burned to the ground!
Ramsay Street
Steve and Miranda muse about Paul. Steve calls Rebecca and Miranda looks disgusted and stalks off. Karl tells Elle Ringo will be ok. Karl sees that Audrey has been the one making a mess. Steve is gleeful until he sees blood in her stool. Audrey is v. ill. Off they rush to the vets.
Callum thinks it would be ace to drive a fire truck and fight fires. He tells Toadie that Kate burned the house down.
Number 24
Kate is in a strop. Harry sees Det, Morris coming and scrambles about looking for their DHS forms Toadie's number. Det. Morris wants to ask Katie about the fire.
Kate refuses to answer any questions. When Toadie arrives Det Morris thinks there's a conflict of interest as he's also representing Paul. Det. Morris says it's not an official interview, just a friendly chat as they're pursuing all avenues of enquiry. Det. Morris and Toadie leave. Kate tells Harry to pack their bags. They're leaving too.
Lassiters
Miranda tells Susan her concerns about Rebecca and Steve. Susan says that the idea of Rebecca and Steve is ridiculous (and presumably a number of Stebecca shippers shout in outrage). She tells Miranda to speak to Steve.
Vet's Clinic
Audrey's swallowed a bone and needs an op. Steve needs and assistant and coincidentally Miranda has just arrived. Miranda asks if Steve he's in love with Rebecca. Steve explains that Paul has been calling Rebecca and she's been upset.
MIRANDA: But you were holding her.
STEVE: It's called comforting, Miranda. Oh don't worry, I'll get Karl to assist.
MIRANDA: No!
STEVE: We're not married any more Miranda. We're not anything any more.
Miranda tells him that the thought of him moving on made her feel jealous and she knows she has no right to feel like that. Steve agrees.
Hospital
Ringo is drinking a LOT of water. Susan and Donna witter.
Ramsay Street
The Ramsay kids are packed and starting to leave, but Toadie tells them there's no need. The fire was accidental. Kate says they're still going as Susan set the cops on them. Toadie suggests a good old sit down and talk.
Number 24
Kate opens her bag and shows Elle, Susan and Toadie a whole load of apples pinched from the garden of Number 22. She just wanted to make Sophie and apple pie like her mum used to. Elle says she could have just asked. Kate thrusts the bag at her and says they don't need favours from her. She asks them to stay out of their lives.
Hospital
Karl discharges Bridget who pops in to see Ringo before she leaves. Elle and Lucas turn up and bump into Donna. Elle apologises for not getting their sooner and Donna tells her that she was scared and just wanted her to be there. Elle gives her a big hug.
Donna asks if she found Paul and Elle apologises for having been so caught up in all that stuff. Donna is glad to hear that the fire wasn't the work of the Ramsays and that Cat has been found. Elle neglects to mention that the "electrical fault" was in fact Donna's scarf draped over a lamp....
DONNA: Right, I better get this to the patient. He's all croaky, it's cute in a Death Metal sort of way.
Elle and Lucas leave to eat humble pie.
Number 24
At the pie shop Harry thought Kate told Elle to stay away.
ELLE: I just want to say sorry. Sorry that I made you feel...
HARRY: Sorry that you set the cops on us? Sorry that you put me on the front page again? Sorry your family cut my family off for years? Sorry your dad's the reason I don't have a mum?
Elle objects and says she's not like her father. Kate comes to the door and Elle offers her her job back. They need money and she needs a good worker. Kate would rather beg.
Hospital
Bridget has brought Donna and Ringo's friendship rings which they exchange again with a kiss for good measure. Nyaw.
Vet's
Miranda tells Steve she still loves him. He asks her for a swab.
With the op over Steve calls Susan to tell her everything went well. Miranda comes into the reception.
MIRANDA: Steve...
Steve rushes Miranda and kisses her then runs away. Miranda looks bemused that there was no bow chica wow wa music. Disappointing.
