A visit to the doctor confirms the news but Zac takes umbridge with the doctor for telling Edwina she has options. Hopper offers to clear the slate with Shelley. Coral begins to warm to Daniel's charming ways. When Hopper tells a resurgent Shelley he's moving to Bali, she assures him she won't let that happen.

Hopper learns it was Wacka who got Rachel pregnant. Wacka's attitude and complete lack of any responsibility in the matter comes between the friends. Hopper discovers Shelley changed his airline tickets, booking herself on the Bali trip instead of Wacka by claiming to be his financée. He again tells her to stay away from him, threatening to go to the police if necessary. A school project sees Edwina, Belinda, and Frannie looking after baby chickens. Shelley cuts herself after slashing Hopper's tires and rushes to Dave for help.

Trish breaks the news to Dean that he will not be going to Bali with Wacka having already left and Hopper deciding to stay in Echo Point. Dave and Frannie rush Shelley to the hospital. Shelley is evasive about what happened and the doctor wonders if the cut could have been intentional. Dean decides to go back to school and employs Marty's help to study. Shelley refuses to go back to Gordon's and again tries latching on to Dave who naively invites her to stay with him for a few days. Meanwhile, Coral accepts Daniel's dinner invitation and Marty has secretly started drinking.

Coral encourages Daniel not to give up with Belinda, telling him he could be the father she's always wanted. Edwina admits to Zac she doesn't think she can go ahead with the pregnancy. Both misinterpret the conversation with Edwina thinking he's okay with her decision and Zac proposing marriage. Daniel's private investigator, Iris Delaney, returns and gets Maurie to open up about the Blake family. Daniel visits Belinda to tell her how much it means to him to have her as a daughter. Iris confronts Daniel with the information she learned from Maurie — particularly his father's affairs. Offended at the very idea, Daniel fires her on the spot.

Dean resumes his delivery service to earn money for a concert ticket but takes Neville's car without his permission. Dean sits in on a poker game while making a delivery, winning big, only to emerge to find his father's car gone. Unbeknownst to Dean, his parents took it to teach him a lesson.

Having trouble studying, and with his friends all busy with other plans, Marty hits the bottle. Frannie is surprised by Edwina's news and tries to get her to see sense and not just do what Zac wants.

Dean risks his own exam sitting by helping a hungover Marty get to school. Coral sees Marty's empty alcohol bottle fall out of Belinda's school bag.

Zac is desperate to change Edwina's mind about not having the baby. Shelley keeps Dave from meeting Frannie by luring him home with a desperate phone call and then feigning a collapse. Belinda denies the empty alcohol bottle is hers but refuses to tell Coral whose it is. In light of the Zac and Edwina situation, Darcy backs out of his holiday plans with Narelle. Coral wants to have another go at bringing Belinda and Daniel together. Shelley doesn't react well to Dave asking her to move out. After pondering if her problem with Dave is that she's too nice, Frannie foregoes a date with Dave to go with Belinda to a beach party out of town. When they miss their bus, Belinda accepts a ride from two young men who drive the girls out into the bush.

Neville, Hopper and Dean are all annoyed that Trish has being swayed by Father Patrick. With the police reopening the murder investigation, Coral warns Belinda that Daniel will once again be the subject of rumours but Belinda is ready to stand by him, confident her father will finally be vindicated. Trish talks Hopper into giving Nathan another shot at the café but Dean comes up with a foolproof plan to catch him out using a hidden camera and a $50 note.

Hopper declines Coral's offer to move in, telling her he'd prefer to wait until after they are married. Frannie is shocked when her and Dave's evening is interrupted by a surprise visitor — his wife.

Iris Delaney goes to Neville looking for an explanation for the watch receipt, accusing him of having an affair with Sarah Blake. Dave seeks out Frannie to try to explain things but protective brother Dean drives him off. Dave unburdens himself to an unsympathetic Zac, explaining how he left his wife when she was pregnant. Neville retrieves the watch from his safety deposit box and sells it to a jeweller — all while being followed by Delaney.

Zac tries to tell a distraught Edwina that Shelley means nothing to him but he's crossed a line. Dean's first day working at the hospital sees him on bedpan duty — and reconnecting with nurse Gillian Power. Hopper and Coral announce their engagement. Belinda is less than pleased, still holding out hope for her parents to get back together.

He explains it was a gift from Sarah Blake for using him to counter her husband's affair. Neville advises Iris to shift her investigation to the woman Edward Blake was having an affair with.

Seeing Shelley come into the café and immediately being all over Zac, Edwina dumps a bowl of yoghourt on Shelley's head, much to her friends' delight. Frannie tells off Dave prompting him to contemplate leaving town.

Her story triggers a memory for Zac who recalls being there and Rita drops one more bombshell — Edward Blake is Zac's father.

Zac and Darcy struggle in the aftermath of Rita's admissions. Zac tells Dean what has happened and he passes the news to Frannie, Edwina and Belinda who is over the moon and rushes off to tell Coral.
