Toadie and Joel interview the neighbourhood for their radio segment on the subject of love and lust. Dione gives a particularly long answer, so Joel cuts to the chase and kisses her. How will she react? Meanwhile, Toadie is crushed when Steph indicates that she will know when Mr Right comes along, but so far, that person has eluded her.

Steph senses Toadie is upset over a girl and is forced to admit she is the girl that Toadie is infatuated with. However, neither wants to risk embarrassment by talking about it. Joel on the other hand is thrilled - he has won back the girl and his father, Bernie, has arrived in town. Bernie and Dione seem to get on like a house on fire - could he be flirting with her?

A sad moment for Toadie and Steph when Toadie decides he must distance himself from her. He blames study pressures, but Steph knows the real reason behind his decision. Meanwhile, Drew and Libby are left wondering over the probable success of their relationship, when they continue to fight at their counselling sessions.

Libby and Drew continue to argue about their differences - everything from Libby taking Drew's surname, to placing a newborn child in a creche. Meanwhile, Harold is called in for more questioning, as the Tasmanian police wish to put him in a line-up.

Harold is extradited to Hobart to face the committal hearing. The judge determines Harold should stand trial in the Supreme Court on the burglary charge and fixes bail at $10,000. Meanwhile, Karl wants to keep the pending malpractice suit a secret from Libby - but how long can he keep it that way?

The aftermath of the motorcycle accident leaves Libby lifeless on the side of the road. She is rushed to the hospital and undergoes emergency surgery. Steph on the other hand, sustains only minor injuries and is able to leave hospital the next day. Meanwhile, Toadie puts two and two together and realises Brendan was driving recklessly and that the collision has more to do with his culpable driving than a mere accident.

While Libby remains in a critical condition, Karl realises there may be damage to her reproductive organs, but keeps this from Drew and Susan to save their concern. Meanwhile, Madge, Harold and Lou are invited to a school reunion, which leaves them excited. However, Harold is forced to face harsh reality - he may be unable to make it, he could be in jail.

Teresa overhears Brendan practically confess to Libby's accident, and realises she has been a fool. Brendan asks for her forgiveness, but Tess struggles. Later, in the midst of her emotional confusion, Tess gets an urgent call to come to the hospital. What could it be?

Teresa is forced to face the reality of Brendan's death and admits despite all that went wrong, she still loves him. Meanwhile, Libby finally begins to recover from the infection.

Harold and Madge seem to be stalked by a new arrival in town. Later, they discover that the woman, Wendy Barker, has been heartbroken and left destitute by a man named Alfie. She thinks Harold is Alfie - despite Madge's efforts to convince her otherwise.

Karl is relieved when the Medical Board exonerates him over the Glenda Ryan case. However it's not over yet - he still has the Ryan's civil case hanging over his head, along with his concerns for Libby's injuries. Meanwhile, Steph confides in Drew about Toadie and Lance. Drew however, finds it all amusing.

Following advice, Karl decides to settle the Ryan's case out of court. Though it stings Karl, he wants to protect his reputation and given the situation with Libby, wants to alleviate further stress. Meanwhile, in an effort to return their relationship to normal, Steph suggests a poker night with Lance and Toadie. Will it be an awkward night for all?

Awkwardness gets the better of Lance, Toadie and Steph at their poker game, so Steph suggests they talk about what's really going on. Meanwhile, Libby admits to her parents that she can't wait to have children with Drew - which leads to Karl and Susan deciding to tell Libby the truth about her injuries.

Libby is faced with the news she can never have children. Although she tries to make light of the situation, Drew is devastated. Meanwhile, Michelle persuades Bianca to conceal a video camera outside the scary man's house.

When Michelle investigates the scary house, she encounters a man inside - Damon. Michelle flees terrified. Madge and Harold consider using a private investigator to locate Wendy Baker - the only clue to the charges laid against Harold.

Michelle returns to the scary house to retrieve the camera and is met by a pleasant surprise. Steph, on the other hand, is suffering from nightmares and depression. Lance suggests she seek counselling, but Steph keeps a stiff upper lip - she's a Scully after all.

Harold faces a jail sentence unless Wendy testifies on his behalf - which she flatly refuses to do.

Meanwhile, Toadie enters another moneymaking scam, when Louise introduces him to the latest kid's game to sweep the world.

Michelle is overcome by the sadness of Damon's life when she learns of the tragic events that led to the death of his wife and daughter. Meanwhile, Tess meets with Brendan's lawyer to discuss his Will - which is nothing like she expected.
