TRIVIA |
| [note from the
peanut gallery] Hepatitis A is the lowest
level of hepatitis virus there is; it's
very infectious while it's active but is
not chronic and doesn't linger in your
system forever so extraordinary
precautions are not needed later on in
your life; however, it's not a fun
ailment to have -- take it from one who
knows :-( |

| "Compulsion" |
| Lucy is 14 weeks pregnant. Shirley
is busy with Council meetings and Frank is
lonely. Darcy finds a dead bandicoot. Kate and
Luke have a new neighbour, Laura Adams from the
library, who is a little on the odd side (she's
afraid of animals, obsessive about cleanliness,
and has wrapped her furniture in plastic). Luke
is waiting for his HSC results. Cookie is
babysitting his niece, Coralie Jr., while his
sister is visiting her husband in jail. Perce
runs into a feral cat in his barn and is clawed
by it as it tries to flee. He starts to feel his
age while in the hospital and Darcy has to trick
him into leaving. Harry learns that Nelly, his
beloved van, is unrepairable. Coralie Jr. eats the button
eye off her teddy bear and Cookie rushes her to
the hospital. Rosemary offers to stay with him
until "nature runs its course". Laura
throws a can of food at Dog to scare her off and
wounds her instead. Luke is not happy about it.
Bob goes to watch cricket with Frank but the
match is rained out. They watch a movie instead,
envisioning themselves in the lead roles. Matt
catches the feral cat. Laura's boyfriend comes to
visit her but she forces him to leave. Nutmeg,
the stray cat that Kate "adopted", gets
into Laura's flat and Laura goes nuts cleaning.
Kate finds her after she burns her hand with
caustic soda and takes her to the hospital.
There, Terence determines that Laura is
obsessive-compulsive and that her current state
of mind was brought on by having to nurse her
mother, who was suffering from Alheimer's.
Luke asks Darcy
out but she turns it into a working dinner -- she
wants to build a telescope and turn the shed into
an observatory. They kiss while cleaning the
shed. Laura wants to leave the hospital and
pushes a cart into Lucy's abdomen when they try
to convince her to stay. This causes Matt to
worry about Lucy continuing to work. Harry tries
to help Kate get over her fear of snakes -- step
1 is looking at a picture of a snake, step 2 is
looking at a video or snakes, step 3 is looking
at a pickled snake in a jar, and step 4 is
looking at a real live snake (aka Cuddles). Luke
and Darcy both pass their HSC. Peter finally
convinces Laura that he is there for the long
haul, however long and hard that might be. Luke
declares his love for Darcy.
