Seasons & episodes

From the vigor with which Ringo objects to her abusing Karl's anatomy skeleton, Donna 'deduces' hes till wants to become a paramedic and pulls all stops to push him back to the course. Susan's stalker-panic grows worse after identifying a car which followed her home, yet Zeke's support gives her the strength to go to university, but once alone her nerves break down again. Although Ringo sees trough an 'accidental' meeting with mentor Christian Doran, another taste of emergency practice on Susan decides him to rejoin the course.

Andrew volunteers as Sophie's tutor when Callum passes on she needs help with geometry, but has to admit his maths talent is limited to arithmetics and accounting and suggests Summer would do better, which turns out wrong. Tash helps the kids, hoping not be found out, but when Anderw does he isn't turned off by her 'nerd talent', even brags to his mates about his smart girl, so now she starts priding herself on the Mathletes. Susan is now physically stalker-paranoid, accusing student Gemma, until savior Zeke takes her home, where she feels guilty of wimping out. Karl finds her hiding, possibly with an MS relapse.

With a bee in their bonnet about Susan's stalker, Zeke and Libby take the day off to investigate. They find that one of the text messages has come from Gemma, but it is a dead end. Then Zeke remembers tutor John Bradley had offered to help, and asks him for information on Gemma. Meanwhile, Toadie has been keeping Susan company for the day, and takes her for a hospital appointment where the doctors tell her the MS has not resurfaced. But while she is sitting in Toadie's car waiting for him, she sees Zeke and Libby getting into John's car - and it is exactly like the one she has seen following her! In a snap decision, she decides to follow him. Elsewhere, Terry is offered a six-month job on a cruise ship and invites Lyn to come with him. At first she is delighted, but when her friends suggest Terry might want to be more than just friends with her, she has to decline.

With the evidence mounting against John, Susan finally finds the courage to confront him. After initially denying it, he confesses, and admits he bears a grudge against Susan. He'd been a student-teacher when she was Principal, and she had failed him. But Susan argues back, telling him how badly he had affected her and that he wasn't fit to be a teacher, leading him to confess to the police. Everyone is impressed by Susan's bravery, but they aren't sure if she should go back to university yet. But she is inspired by Ringo returning to his course and decides she can't let the bullying episode rule her life. Elsewhere, Diana finds out that Declan is actually Paul's stepson. She wants more information from him, but he is worried. And an ultimatum from Diana that she'll take down the whole family if he doesn't help just makes things worse.

Andrew is up to his usual tricks, trying to get one over on Declan and just generally showing off. So when he sees Declan with Diana, he is jealous. He wants to get in with her too so he can get a promotion. When he offers his services to her, Diana sees an opportunity, and asked Andrew to get her some confidential documents from Paul's things. Little does he know that he is helping to prove Paul's crimes. When Paul finds out he blames Declan, but Declan knows the real culprit. Elsewhere, Callum finds his way into a comedy club, but is spotted by Lucas and Michael who take him home. Toadie is furious, and orders him to concentrate on school before thinking about comedy, but the two can't reach a compromise. And Lucas receives a call telling him that Dan has been in an accident, leaving Steph and Toadie panicking.

Desperate to save his mum from being implicated in Paul's dealings, Declan asks Diana to reconsider, but she is having none of it - he's missed his chance. And in an attempt to make up for giving Diana all the information she needed on Paul, Andrew tries to think of ways to save PirateNet. When Paul announces he is hiring shock jock Paddy Sullivan for the station, Zeke quits in protest. So Andrew recruits Donna to fill his place, and she is a surprise hit. But Zeke isn't impressed that she's gone behind his back, even though Andrew has told her Zeke is ill, not on strike. Realising what Andrew has been up to, Declan turns on him, but Paul defends his son, leaving Rebecca despairing about the men in her life. But when Paul discovers Andrew's role in Diana finding out about the finances, he is livid. Meanwhile, Natasha finds out the truth about Chris and Summer's night in the hotel.

It's Andrew's birthday, but no-one's remembered and he's still in the dog house over his dealings with Diana. Thankfully he's told Harry, who told Summer, so eventually the family find out and arrange an impromptu party for the tearaway teen. Natasha isn't happy that her boyfriend hasn't confided in her and resorts to making digs at Summer again, but she rises above it. Meanwhile, Paul confronts Diana about her plans to destroy him. Her boss Rosemary has told her not to act, but Diana has other ideas. So Paul suggests they can work together to take over Lassiters, but she needs proof of his allegiance to her. So he does the ultimate dirty deed and cheats on Rebecca with Diana. Then Diana reveals she has no plans to work with him after all, despite what has just happened, and as a guilty Paul heads back to his family, she unveils video evidence of their time together.

After their secret tryst, Diana believes she has the evidence to blackmail Paul, but she has underestimated him. The video footage doesn't show anything incriminating, so she is back to square one, and Paul is happy to gloat about it. But then Rebecca decides to get friendly with Diana, leaving Paul sweating once again. Meanwhile, Lyn finds out about Dan's accident, and her inability to keep a secret means that Libby soon knows about it too. She is shocked that her friends kept it a secret from her. If only she knew... And when Lucas returns, the group hears the news on Dan's condition. He is doing okay, but has suffered a complication in hospital which means he can't have children. Libby feels terrible for him and Steph is consumed with guilt. Should she tell Dan he isn't going to be childless after all?

After their feud about PirateNet, Zeke apologises to Donna, leaving her worried that everything in her life is going so well. Great friends, great boyfriend, good business - where is the catch? Then Ringo gets some news that look set to change things. He's won a Green Card. He isn't sure whether to go, and he definitely doesn't want to leave Donna, but his fiancee is far more enthusiastic. She proposes they go as a couple, as she can find work. But after Elle informs her finding work is unlikely, their plans look doomed. Until Zeke finds out that Ringo can take Donna if they get married really soon... Elsewhere, after much agonising, Steph decides to call Dan. But he is having none of it and asks her to stay away. Lucas and Libby can't understand why she's been calling Dan, but she manages to bluff her way out of it. But how much longer can the lie stay secret?

Donna knows her dad Nick is likely to be less than enthusiastic about the hurried wedding, but she hasn't banked on opposition from Andrew. The terrible teen starts a campaign to put Donna off, which turns into full blown sabotage and he tells her he doesn't think the marriage will last. What is his hidden agenda this time? Meanwhile, Kate is struggling to cope with both dancing and teaching. She manages to find a gig for the troupe performing a dance class for a kids' party. And after initial opposition from the dancers, they get on board, and Candace suggests they can continue this kind of work with a tour of shopping malls. But there is a catch - Kate has a teaching placement coming up which she can't miss. So she is forced to choose. Will it be dancing or teaching?

While Lucas, Ringo and their mates turned on Andrew for his ingenious efforts to prevent Ringo taking Donna overseas, she wards them off, even after an unwelcome shirtless seduction, realizing Andrew only fears being left 'alone' now Harry is gone and Paul bitter. Michael refuses to keep a teaching apprentice spot open for Kate now she has accepted a series of gigs with the troop, but after protests from the kids she decides that teaching is her primary vocation.

Convinced hard to please pa Paul will never forgive him for the Diana goof, Andrew has left home, and Paul indeed doesn't bother to go looking. After sneakily spending the night crashed on Summer's bedroom floor, Andrew get her to make grandma Lynn invite him to move into their guest-room, which she accepts to cross Paula and Rebecca. Paul however comes to his senses and successfully asks his firstborn back home. Libby puts on a pitiful show to outbid Steph's sisters as the unborn baby's would-be godmother and ends up getting her way, only adding to the weirdness given Steph wants to tell Dan he's the father.

Now Andrew is back home, he jumps at Paul's 'request' to fix Natasha's blackmail to get the Lassiter's face campaign-exposure HQ ordered canceled. However she refuses an alternative and all schoolmates side with her, even Summer. Michael sees Libby's backward opposition to first name-basis at school massively outvoted and keeps taunting her in the pub. That results in a late night both pay for the next school day.

Andrew's attempts to make up with Tash, even joining Mathletes, are meanly rejected, worse, at Summer's suggestion she humiliates him during a business project presentation in class. That leaves Andrew no other choice to save face then tell taunting mates she never was more hen a throwaway-conquest anyhow. She regrets turning pa on him the moment it happens. Diane is determined to sabotage Charlie's. Zeke and Declan stand in for the withdrawn Lassiter security, but Rebecca left canceling a band performance until the crowd is in and impatient.

Paul finds real security guards just in time to prevent the concert turning into chaotic disaster. Diane sanctimoniously congratulates irresponsible Rebecca, who made a thievish profit. Libby's god-motherly bothering only adds to Steph's guilty urge to tell Dan the truth.

Paul has taped Toadie's secret and blackmails him to switch sides from Diane to him, even beyond legal means. Lynn can't even follow the simple instruction to butt out completely. Ringo insists Donna should have a dream wedding, although she proposes to save for their New York adventure instead. She admits to have a crush for a certain wedding dress, but it's sold, so Lucas is recruited to play her dad in a distraction charade so she can take measurements and copy it illegally.

Paul decides to sell PiratesNet before a scandal about it can wreck his family, but instead of listening, haughty business-ignoramus Rebecca keeps berated his 'arrogance' dismissively. Despite a blackmail-reminder from Paul, Toadie seems to attempt cutting a deal with Diane. Callum's fun when Sonya comes takes Rocky's guide dog exam is spoiled when Libby brings along Ban and despite 'victim' Steph's mediating attempts rages at Sonya, who isn't wiling to just take it again.

Self-absorbed Tash blindly waves Andrew's make up-offer to help relaunch her modeling career. Instead she organizes a poster signing session at Charlies. As it only draws nobodies he don't consume, barman Kyle has to carry her outside over his shoulder, which however shows off his fine physique so as to draw ladies. An uncensored poster buys his clemency, to Andrew's dismay. Paul decides to sell PiratesNet in order to shield his family in case Diane brings it down, but instead of listening, haughty Rebecca just scolds his 'arrogance'. Declan realizes it's in her own interest, but just when he gets trough top her Zeke comes up with an alternative plan, sponsoring from the devoted audience.

It looks as if it's not just Rebecca who is keen to save PirateNet. The whole community wants to keep the radio station open, leaving Declan swimming against the tide. He knows that closing the station means his mum will be safe, but he has no way of telling people without Paul's dirty scams becoming common knowledge. Kate is annoyed Declan is being so negative, but he can't tell her the truth, and she is angry with him for pushing her away. Uh-oh, is another relationship doomed? Elsewhere, Libby and Michael are at war again, this time over a set of electronic whiteboards that Michael has installed without her knowledge. After hearing her criticising him, Michael decides to get revenge by making Libby do a demonstration on the new boards. But she links them up with her own laptop, and inadvertently reveals more than she intended.

The pressure of all the stresses in his life is getting on top of Toadie. The Erinsborough lawman is not only trying to hide Steph's secret but also, with Diana's help, masterminding a scheme to bring down Paul. Something is bound to give. And when Diana finds out about Toadie's affair with Sonya, she immediately understands Paul's hold over him. Is there anyone left who doesn't know the truth? The strain is also getting to Sonya, who doesn't much care for the underhanded side of Toadie. Meanwhile, Michael is stressed about his performance review, and is struggling to remove some embarrassing graffiti from one of the new boards. He had no choice to ask for Libby's help, but of course she isn't going to help him without anything in return. Looks like a ceasefire's on the cards.

Zeke's sponsoring plan works out trough a radio-marathon, spiked with a contestant which presenter is most popular, although Karl buys the title for himself. Toadie accepts to hand his evidence file against Paul over to Diane, who promises to shield his family. But they're overheard by Paul, who grabs the folder and publicly plays the recording of Steph phoning Dan to tell he's her baby's father.

Now Paul has exposed Steph's baby is Dan's, everyone turns on him viciously, discarding his claim he didn't even know what was on the tape. Rebecca even wants him out of his/their home stat, plausibly pending divorce proceedings. Fickle Libby rages at Steph like a fury, only to calm down and make up for no real reason either.

Declan grudgingly joins Ringo and their girls in a truth game. Mike braves blackmailer Libby, who insists on consultation on any many matter, by rebuking her shameless abuse of authority on pupils, even cooperative Summer, yet they both cheerfully join another collegial pub night. Dr. Doug Harris is getting fed up with date Libby's haughty arrogance and disrespect for medical procedure. Callum feels betrayed by dad's shocking lies and fake marriage.

Now even dad Paul is out of the picture, Andrew feels lonely, being replaced by Kyle as Tasha's date, and nostalgic about his party days. A sneer form Summer her Chris, who just got a lifeguard job to help pay for his basketball expenses; won't be his only mate inspires Andrew to organize a Hawaian pool party at that pool. Alas, Macca's bunch's vandalism turns it into a disaster, causing Chris to get fired and everyone to blame Andrew. Lucas withdraws into bachelor life and turns an Toadie, whose paternal credibility with Callum has hit rock-bottom.
