| "Facts of Life" |
| Frank, Shirley, and Terence go for a
sail on a 40-foot sloop. Terence gets seasick and
the captain, Helen Cook, gets struck by a boom
and knocked out. A twelve-year-old boy, Ben,
brings his twin sister Hannah into the hospital
after her arthritis kicks in again and she takes
too much aspirin and codeine to counteract the
pain. Kate has problems dealing with Hannah as it
brings back memories of nursing her niece, Sasha,
while Sasha was dying of leukemia. Luke is torn
between working for Matt, helping out on Steve's
farm, and doing his HSC studies. He decides to
give up school but Steve promises to let up on
him if he stays in school. Terence considers not
finishing his yacht but, once on dry land with
the memories of his seasickness well behind him,
decides to take sailing lessons once Helen
recovers. Kate feels she has to resign since she
can't work with children. Ben is not happy at the
preferential treatment Hannah is getting. He
pushes her wheelchair and it hits a tea trolley,
spilling boiling water over Hannah. He's
heartbroken over over hurting her and she doesn't
want to see him. Frank moons over a boat, a
cruiser. Fatso becomes ill and Matt struggles to
save him -- Luke discovers that Fatso's been
digging into the neighbour's yard and eating
snail pellets. Cookie is barred from the
racetrack for bringing a battery from his
electric shaver into the track. Hannah is upset
over getting her first period and Kate offers
comfort. Harry has a chat with Ben about the
injustice of girls growing up faster than boys.
Kate decides to stay at the hospital and Hannah
forgives Ben. |
