Episode 691

Suspense!

Bobby calls to Pippa's house to talk to her about her decision to foster a child. Pippa is supportive of her and thinks she would be a fabulous foster mother. Meanwhile, back at the diner Donald, Alf and Ailsa are still trying to come to terms with her bombshell. Donald and Alf are very much against it and think she has lost her marbles. Ailsa thinks they're over-reacting and that they should wait and see. The Family and Community Services people will be asking the very same questions that they are. Is Bobby ready to be a foster parent and is it too soon after losing her own baby?

Donald gets home and notices the Fletcher foster family photo on the mantelpiece. It's all starting to make some sense. He rings Pippa, wondering is that where Bobby has gone. He's still pretty wound up about her shock announcement and hopes Pippa can talk some sense into her.

Pippa and Michael chat about Bobby as they prepare lunch. She then goes out into the garden with the vegetable scraps so she can feed them to the goat. Her timing is perfect because she catches Adam sneaking into the shower block. There is still no hot water in the Beach House, he stinks and nobody will let him use their shower. Neither will Pippa, even after he offers to pay.

The cycling race is about to begin when Blake notices that his bike has a puncture. Haydn reluctantly agrees to delay the race so that Blake can sneak into the school and retrieve a replacement inner tube. Haydn and Karen head to the diner to wait for him. While they're there, they overhear Donald telling Ailsa he is going to go back straight to the school to finish some work he had been doing. Haydn rushes away to warn Blake.

Blake is in the school corridor when Donald comes into the building. He dodges into a classroom and hides but Donald is uneasy - his headmaster spidey senses know there is somebody in the school.

Bobby tells Ailsa she has asked for a school age foster child. That way she can work in the diner during the day when he/she is at school. This doesn't go down well with Ailsa who points out that she won't be available for early mornings or weekends. If that's the route she wants to go, then maybe she needs to reconsider their partnership in the diner. She can't see it working out with the sort of arrangement she has in mind.

Haydn gets into the school, hoping to warn Blake in time. While walking through one of the corridors, trying to find him, he is caught by Mr. Fisher.
