Extended Summary

Seb received the results of the DNA test today and he isn’t happy. What should be good news of Fisher being his grandfather has turned into bad news, especially after recent events. Fisher tried talking to Seb about the results, yet he refused to talk about the literacy program for Seb.
Sally really wants to start a literacy course, for kids like Seb, but Fisher won’t have a bar of it.

Irene’s making Nick help out at the DIC during his suspension. Irene thinks Fisher’s being unfair about the whole thing. If the photo hadn’t been of him, he wouldn’t have reacted like this. Fisher needs to lighten up about the Seb situation.

Hayley is concerned about the financial problems at the DIC. She asked Noah why he hadn’t told her and he said she’d had other things on her mind at the time. Hayley has realised that she’s been a little selfish and has been neglecting her duties at the centre. It’s definitely good to see the old Hayley back.

Vinnie lost the plot this afternoon. He keeps reading Ralph’s note and getting more agitated every time. Even worse, there have been house inspections as well. They are facing financial debt and the possibility of being homeless, Vinnie asked Theo for help. Who would believe it – they must be in a lot of trouble.
