Elly is distraught and overwhelmed by Bea's condition, but Shaun is there to offer comfort. Elly is grateful for Shaun's excellent support and the pair feel their bond growing stronger. However, when Shaun misconstrues advice from Susan, telling him to take Elly's lead, he misreads the situation and asks Elly how she'd feel about a relationship. She's thrown, insisting their connection shouldn't be romantic.
Shaun is mortified by his mistake and Elly worries their bond has been compromised. She confides in Aaron and David, with the latter being very suspicious of Shaun and accusing him of taking advantage of Elly's fragile state.
David is wary after hearing Shaun's mysterious phone call last week and witnessing him hide some paperwork. He takes it upon himself to snoop through Shaun's things and discovers a secret custody contract, which he gives to Elly. Is Shaun trying to take Elly's baby?
Meanwhile, Bea remains in hospital recovering from her "accident" at The Waterhole when she suddenly clutches her chest and feels her heart racing. David reports that the incident has left Bea with heart arrhythmia, a condition that will need ongoing observation and possible medication.
Scarlett is supporting a downcast Ned during his break from Yashvi and using the opportunity to get closer to him. When she hears about Bea's condition, Scarlett is shaken, as she never thought sabotaging the microphone cable could be so serious. She convinces Ned to visit Bea in hospital, anxiously tagging along and gifting Bea a ridiculously oversized teddy bear. Bea is baffled by the gesture and starts to grow suspicious of this random person hanging around her bestie's boyfriend. Is Bea going to catch Scarlett out?

Later, Amy finds a photo of Ned and Kyle that Scarlett has dropped and ripped on Ned's side and jumps to the conclusion that Scarlett has a crush on Kyle. Kyle dismisses Amy's concerns, but she remains uncomfortable with Scarlett in the house. Will Amy confront her?
Elsewhere, Mark realises dating the wild child of Erinsborough isn't all it's cracked up to be as he and Roxy step out on a public date. They head to The Waterhole for breakfast and Mark is affronted by Roxy's natural exhibitionism. Roxy's keen to get Mark to join in the fun and when Mark refuses Roxy's challenge to down his drink, Roxy stands on the pool table until he relents, earning disconcerted looks from patrons and management.
Sheila can see the parallels between Mark's relationship with Roxy and his relationship with Paige and suggests to Roxy she and Mark won't last unless something gives. Roxy is put out by Sheila's opinion, but when an uncomfortable Mark admits he's used to more conservative dates, Roxy's given pause. Should she start toning it down?
