Something rich and strange...
Synopsis only. Koala's Spiel to come.
Laura's niggling doubts about Warwick begin to dissipate as she begins to fall for his charms... if only the locals would stop interrupting them. Laura is concerned that everyone else is Pearl Bay is warming to Warwick faster than she is. However, Laura is convinced she will fall madly in love with him at any moment. Soon.
Apart from Warwick, the town's attention turns to "Still Waters", a city newspaper column detailing the life and times of a small coastal town. Even though the parallels between the fictional town and Pearl Bay are uncanny, no-one recognises themselves. However, Miranda recognises Max's penmanship and bribes her way into a cadetship at 'The Oyster'. As if Max's hands weren't full enough already with new employee, Karen, courtesy of a town sponsored 'scholarship'.
Morton Tregonning informs Bob a property in the path of the tunnel development must be purchased at whatever cost. Bob sniffs a great opportunity to make some quick cash and purchase the derelict house for a steal. The fact Griff is the tenant is only a minor consideration for Bob, besides, Heather can evict the freeloader. Racked with guilt, Heather encourages Griff to take her to court. When Morton notices the court case, a desperate Bob pays Griff off but soon after Bob parts with ten grand, Morton decides the shabby shack isn't in the way after all. Poor Bob is left with a valueless title deed, no money and Griff as houseguest. All this and Mr Tregonning hasn't even begun to play for real yet...
