| "High Hopes" |
| Ruth, a young woman with Down's
Syndrome, wants to train to swim in the Special
Olympics. Hugo offers to help her but her father
doesn't trust Hugo's motives. Ruth develops a
crush on Hugo. Rosemary goes to a testimonial
dinner for her late husband in Sydney. Allison is
not happy in her marriage to Tom and decides to
return to Sydney. Kate and Harry spend their day
off at the golf course, where they come to the
rescue of a woman (Myfannwy Gates) who collapses.
She hasn't suffered a heart attack but she's
heading that way and Harry tells her to relax.
Ruth goes swimming while still suffering from her
bronchitis and has a mild asthma attack...Hugo
saves her but incurs the wrath of her father.
Hugo blames himself for Ruth being at the pool
and decides to resign as orderly. Rosemary and
Terence bicker at the hospital and she
accidentally slams a door in his face,
dislocating his nose. Darcy decides to try to force Simone
to metamorphose into a salamander by lowering the
level of water in her tank. Esme gets a Darwin
postcard from Bob and Cookie. Hugo has to tell
Ruth outright that he is just her friend, not her
boyfriend, and she' upset. Her parents think
she's run away and her friend Saxon comes up from
Sydney to help find her. Hugo finds her at the
pool and gets her parents to come down in time to
see how good a swimmer she is. Esme reads Darcy's
axolotl book and learns that the metamorphosis
process could reduce Simone's lifespan (assuming
she survives at all) and rob her of the ability
to regenerate her limbs -- Rosemary decides to
stop the experiment. Kate throws a goodbye party
for Lucy (who's going on maternity leave). Kate
and Harry force Terence and Rosemary out onto the
veranda to discuss their arguing. Terence learns
that Rosemary's husband was not such a devoted
family man, though he was a great man to the
masses. Hugo tells Darcy his dad is still alive
and was never in the Tour de France -- he's a
pastry cook in Cobourg.
