Vik is intrigued by Amy Goskirke and her past life with Dev. Steve offers his services to Duggie as site manager on his development. He's insulted when Duggie offers him a job as a labourer.

She listens and explains why she stayed with violent Laurie Loveday for so long. Leanne's story appears in the Gazette to Janice's pride.
