| "Brief Encounter" |
| Luke is studying for his HSC. Kate
is acting district nurse. Sam Neeson, an
insulin-dependent diabetic, is having trouble
injecting himself. His daughter, Elena, and
mother-in-law are sick. Kate's dad, Des, has had
a fall and she is worried about him. A young
woman named Julie Dixon arrives in the Valley and
takes a job at the club as barmaid/resident
photographer. She has a scrapbook filled with
pictures of Kate's family. She sends Kate a
locket with both of their pictures in it. Harry
finds Sam after he collapses and takes him to the
hospital...Sam's mother-in-law, Bunica, is afraid
of hospitals. Julie tells Kate that Des Bryant is
her father, too, and she wants Kate to help her
meet him. Kate arranges for her father to come to
town. Luke and Frank take Luke's school books to
the dump. Frank parks on some broken fuel cans
and the police car explodes when Luke sets fire
to his books and a stray piece of burning paper
lands on the trail of fuel under the car. Elena
is hospitalized with tuberculosis, which she
caught from her grandmother. Terence brings
Bunica in to the hospital and they find out she's
afraid of hospitals because of the torture she
endured in Romania.
A grateful patient
gives Terence a sculpture called "Devil
Woman" that he gives to the club. Only Shirl
likes it. Esme thinks it's bad luck and Bob and
Cookie try to dispose of it in the river -- Esme
sees them but, since her glasses are broken, she
can't see clearly and thinks two men are dumping
a dead body. Frank pulls the statue out of the
water and confronts Bob and Cookie. Des Bryant is
introduced to Julie Dixon but initially denies
that she is his daughter. Kate has trouble
forgiving him when she finds out he cheated on
her mother but he convinces her that he loves her
and her mother dearly. Julie decides to go home
to her adopted family and Kate keeps the locket.
Des guesses how much Harry cares for Kate and he
advises her to trust Harry. Kate blackmails him
into considering up jockeying.
