Tony attempts to get involved, and Lynda finds herself intrigued.

Joy and Mick are enjoying doing some repairs in their ‘Repair Grotto’ garage with items Tony has reluctantly given them to work on. Mick thinks this attitude is because Tony wants all the limelight. Joy thinks it’s probably just worry about losing items if more people get involved. Lynda calls in and is delighted with Mick’s repair to her hairdryer. She reveals over tea that she and Robert have decided to close the B&B business due to their bad review being widely shared. They will downsize and find something else to do together. Mick suggests a dog field like his friend runs – an enclosed field for hire to dog owners for off-lead exercise. Lynda is intrigued.

At the hospital, Anna and Tony visit Carol, who is feeling worse. She’s tired and also sick of the other patients and changes on the ward. Patients are disruptive at night and she never gets enough rest. She feels hospital is the worst place to be ill. Carol doesn’t think she’ll walk again, although Tony reassures her that many people he’s known at The Laurels have recovered well from broken hips. She brings up the million-dollar question – what’s her next step? Carol wants to return to Glebe, where she could have a bed and equipment installed, and carers four times a day. Although Anna protests, Carol doesn’t think she’ll be offered rehab and wants to talk to the Discharge team about getting her back home. The sooner Carol’s out of here, the better.
