Steven calms down and comes downstairs again. He says he is OK now and they will eat the birthday cake.

Sally gives Lance a piece of the birthday cake.

Sandra comes home and finds the kitchen is wrecked. She sees a note on the table. She reads it and runs to Ailsa and says that her mother is in hospital from Barlow hitting her. Ailsa wants to call in the police but Sandra says her parents will just say it was an accident so there is no use in calling the police.

Frank has been in the city to look for Roo and comes home again. He says it was a total waste of time since Roo had gone water-skiing for the weekend so he didn’t see her.
