All three Turner men are now in trouble with the law, especially Mason. After being bailed out, Mason is unable to contact Kate and fears he's lost her. His attempts to talk to her fail, and to make matters worse, Paul takes her off the street to live at Lassiters Hotel until the renovations at the Robinson House are complete.

Lucy has arrived back in Erinsborough, in the capacity of head honcho of the entire Lassiters chain. She doesn't like what Paul's doing, professionally or personally, and is in town to make some changes. She confronts Paul about the corruption allegations, but he insists it's all a misunderstanding and he's being set up. Desperate to get on the front foot, Paul approaches Hotel Manager Tony.
