Ringo makes a surprise return to Ramsay Street. Donna allows herself to hope that maybe he came back to town because he loves her! But is that the real reason Ringo is back in town?

Declan struggles to face Bridget's birthday; Andrew's plans to drive Rebecca and Paul apart are derailed; and Toadie is frustrated when Callum continues to push him away.

Ringo faces his first test as a paramedic; Lucas helps Callum adjust to having a sibling; and Harry questions Andrew's honesty.

Naomi has stolen Ringo's trainee paramedic ID and Googled him to pretend being a perfect match. Despite Karl's hasty warning about 'professional ethics', he's seduced to enter with her a university trivia quiz. At the park games tree legged-race, Zeke insists to team up with Susan, Donna is delighted that Nixon 'Nick' turned up, but so does her other potential pa, businessman Nicholas 'Nick' McKay. Andrew sees trough his fake paraphernalia and proves that ma Cass's former teacher is a convicted crook.

Karl's embarrassment over demanding Dr. Doug berating his rusty techniques seems to peek having forgot his beeper, but finding it proves much worse: he catches Libby kissing Doug, whom she only just found out being dad's boss. The two Nicks get the verdict after Karl convinces Donna to read and pass the paternity test results, which are as she hoped: not crook Nicholas but considerate Nixon.

Lou invites himself to the blokes club. Lucas's leadership is challenged by Karl, but ultimately won back. Naomi steals the clubhouse fuse, longing for Ringo. Doug reassures Steph date even Libby won't learn about her pregnancy. Lynn is embarrassed to find Harry and Summer correcting her data-site profile, accidentally finds the ultrasound and realizes Toadie's paternal pose is a fake.

Paul is finally back, so Andrew even gets Harry to fill in as soccer coach so he can concentrate on campaigning to be allowed to stay. Despite Rebecca's mean suggestion to dump Andrew in a boarding school, he succeeds, gets Kyle rehired and sneakily discovers Paul risks his job if Lassiter's profit isn't restored. Lynn tells she knows Toadie isn't Steph's baby's father, is sworn to secrecy and decides to keep that promise after Steph blurts out Dan is the father.

Declan sees Andrew peeped in Paul's computer, is sworn to secrecy about his precarious position but follows Lucas's dubious advice to warn Rebecca just to put her feelings first. She absurdly expects Paul to tell her the next evening, failing that considers him a liar and asks Toadie's help to get out of the PiratesNet contract and possibly file for divorce. Paul feels betrayed by Declan and turns to Andrew again. Kate's first history lesson is a complete failure as Libby and Harry together can't help her keep order with Scott 'Griffo' Griffin or even just rascal Callum.

Andrew earns paternal praise for helping organize Lassiter's new building's grand opening while bitter Declan is ignored. Andrew masterly arranges for Paul to witness a shirtless Kyle admired noisily by females of all ages and Rebecca seemingly close with the stud, yet the jealousy venom is still disarmed by bar business figures. Naomi manipulates Donna to act and especially seems jealous so Ringo, whom she gets to make love, believes her lies and tells Donna to leave them alone completely.

While Ringo tries to patch up peace, rivals Naomi and Donna plus ally Kate scheme back-stabbing each-other. The new principal, Michael Williams, laughs at haughty predecessor Libby's tyrannical blind discipline and instructs neophyte Kate to try interactive teaching, especially with Callum, who even gets to 'teach a lecture'. Donna sees Naomi hug 'brother' Bradley, but failed to make her homework before telling Ringo, so she looks dumb and mean.

Andrew suggests a controversial advertising campaign for PirateNet, Donna looks for evidence against Naomi and Toadie's bad blood with Lucas leaves him isolated from the rest of the Ramsay Street menfolk.

Andrew discovered Nathasha's age-lie too late to correct Paul's Piratesnet campaign before father Michael formally complains, which is legally dubious given her release form. She weasels out by lying to gullible dad as if Andrew tricked her, but Paul stands by his son and files a damages claim, even though the Williams family are his new neighbors. Doug warns Karl his relaxed patient care isn't compatible with hospital quota. Libby tricks Doug into a surprise-double dinner with her parents, which only adds to the aggravation.

Libby instantly regrets her promise to Karl to dump Doug and lets him kiss up but chickens out of telling the home front. Declan, Lou and the Ramsay kids are commandeered to Rebecca's mothers day picnic. Harry brings along Summer, who usually broods over her late ma. Lynn's bothering exhausts Steph's patience and is 'offered' on a dating site.

Paul and Natasha's pa, Michael Williams, who enters a counter-claim against Andrew's hiring procedure neglect, head for a lawsuit neither pigheaded party can afford. Andrew finds a brilliant compromise: the posters are printed-over so as to appear decent. Harry and Summer discover Lynn's Internet-date is Lou and hire actors to scare both parties off, which succeeds, yet feel guilty too.

After a kiss from Summer, Harry is ecstatic, while Andrew works of his frustration on the punching ball. Both follow advice to tell her how they feel. The blokes clubhouse looses its HQ furniture as the owner sells it. Lou is prepared to find cash for new stuff, but wants to decide what. Lucas, Zeke and Declan accepts a dare who raises most, loose despite a project with Donna, who shamelessly robs most of the profits, yet sort of outvote Lou on most pieces.

Harry is devastated when Summer dumps him and Andrew for rivaling over her 'like a prize'. Andrew tells her she can blame him but not poor Harry, who deserves better and is her dream-prince. Libby however blamed the boys without even asking for their story and pairs her up with Chris Pappas for an assignment. Naomi bales out f joining the gang at the movies and arranges for Ringo to 'rescue' her again in the hot-tub. Karl realizes she's lying but Ringo refuses to listen to his warning she's become unhealthily dependent on him, or worse. Principal Michael Williams invites kids to make proposals and openly discuss pros and contras with him, even involve parents.

Ringo realizes Karl must be right about Naomi's psychotic dependency on him when he accidentally discovers she has his stolen paramedic ID. He gets her to agree they should concentrate on their studies, but in fact she starts spying on him. Paul is looking for new income, either by cross-fertilizing Lassiters with his media branches or bidding for Michael's school catering contract trough Charlie's, for which Paul manages to scare off the competition, except Lynn because her bid is made last-minute. Paul offers Natasha a PR gig.

Everybody accepts to walk pets for the animal protection fund-raiser which Rebecca 'organizes' last-minute, charge an entry-fee 'per paw'. Cocky rivalry Karl-Robinson home leads by dare to Cat and Dahl being 'walked' in dog cages, but afterward all that's left of the cockatoo is a feather in the cat's cage, more proof then Karl needs to cry pet-bird-murder.

Andrew has a brilliant idea to reconcile him and Harry with Summer: a tailor-made gift to her taste, a horror-cartoon. It initially wins her sympathy again, but jealous Natasha, who wants Andrew to attend a posh party with her, while he invited Harry and Summer, convinces her rival they only try to make up to get in at the party, so she rather hangs out with chemistry partner Chris Pappas. When Andrew suggests Kate should apply business logic to advance her dancing career, Declan gets her troop invited at a restaurant function. The business crowd is so pleased that she's offered a regular gig.

Andrew still loyally supports Harry's basketball ambitions, but Summer meanly allures Chris Pappas to stand against him as candidate team captain and kisses Chris during practice. Harrys is so enraged that he decks his innocent rival and gets suspended for three weeks, Chris gets elected. The kids profit from the Lucas-Toadie rivalry to put them to 'macho' handicraft.

Andrew finds Harry love-sick and proposes a no girls-pact, followed by (honorary) membership of Lucas's Blokes Club. Meanwhile Natasha lures Andrew to kiss her at school, just to spite her pa, who soon sees trough her ploy. Dr. Doug's diagnoses puts an end to lots of pointless worries about Steph and her pregnancy. Yet to stop her fear of Lyn going overboard as next of kin, Toadie proposes sort of a marriage of medical convenience.

Ringo sweetly accepts to be friends again with Donna, assuring her she's not the reason for his break-up with Naomi and accepting to wear their rings again. After a Blokes Club pep-talk, Ringo tells Naomi to back off completely, which she just refuses. Paul tries everything to cut costs. Callum gives dad his 'blessing' for a marriage with Steph and spreads the 'news', so there's no way back, while Lynn objects to a travesty of such holy sacrament. Karl accuses Paul of cat's foul fowl-slaying.

RecapLyn hearing that Toadie and Steph are getting married.Paul wanting to make Natasha the new face of Lassiter's. Donna receiving a photo through the post of Naomi and Ringo together.

Donna is likely to be charged and jailed for real. Ringo feels irrationally guilty. He drags the Blokes Club mates along to break in at Naomi's place. They find a shrine proving her obsession with Ringo and the file, which they convince the police to find officially without questioning their tip-off. Naomi is now arrested. Libby makes a spectacle of herself by stupidly scolding Doug for reporting the stolen hospital file, yet can't even apologize properly of admit her error when told that could cost his job and Karl's.
