| "Romancing the
Sloan" |
| Lachlan has invited Maggie to tour
the great racing venues of the world with him but
she hasn't decided yet. A car crashes on the road
outside Boolaroo -- Lachie pulls a 7-year-old
boy, Joshua Bates, from the wreck but they can't
save the boy's mother. Maggie is upset (seemingly
irrationally) by the young burn victim, as he
brings back memories of her days as a triage
nurse in Vietnam and of losing her brother when
their house in London was firebombed in the
Blitz. Lachie helps her cope with the
overwhelming grief and she's able to bring
comfort to young Joshua. Cris and Jessie bring Matt a dog who
was struck by a car. Matt fixes him up but the
dog seems depressed. Herb Munro brings in a duck
(Snugglepuss) who is also depressed and they
discover that the dog (Cuddlepie) also belongs to
Herb and the two animals have been missing each
other. John Freeman has to deal with vandalism at
the dig site and finds two young kids (who bear a
marked resemblance to a young Bob and Cookie) are
the culprits. He turns them on to archeology.
Luke finally gets his cast off. Esme and Shirl
arrange a surprise gambling party in the hospital
morgue for Maggie. They think Frank doesn't
suspect but he turns up at the party disguised as
a strange Italian man (only Shirl guesses who he
is).
A patient in the
Muldoon Wing, Mrs. Palmer, is distraught over
Maggie leaving -- when she goes to her daughter's
for dinner, Esme thinks she has died and is in
the morgue with the food and champagne. John
tells Cathy that he was the one who bought her
portrait, that the secret admirer stuff was
originally a joke. Cathy doesn't let him explain
how much he's come to love her. Maggie's farewell
speech is very moving.
