He however doesn’t let her leave the classroom, telling her she needs to pass the HSC.

Back in the city, Morag has phoned around all the abortion clinics asking them to phone if Roo turns up. Brett says he didn’t expect Roo to behave like that, but Morag says how could she expect her to react any other way when he’s just said all she is in an incubator his child. Nearby Roo sits in the car. She opens up the glove compartment which is full of money.

During break, Lynn says that it looks like Carly won’t get the job. Going into the next lesson, Carly looks uneasy on her feet.

Lynn suggests Floss makes something, but Carly isn’t too impressed with that idea and takes fifty dollars out of the house keeping.

A crash is heard outside Morag’s mansion as Celia arrives and runs over a piece of garden furniture. She announces that she’s here to pick up Roo. Morag wonders why Roo would want to go back to Summer Bay, but all Roo says is “Thanks for trying.” Celia asks Roo if she’s told Morag yet about. Morag walks out and Celia says a cheerful “goodbye Morag”, having beaten her sister for once and drives away, leaving a lonely looking Morag.

Roo returns to Summer Bay. Alf isn’t at home, but Celia and Roo discuss how they’re going to have to keep it a secret from Morag that Roo hasn’t given the baby away.
