David and Barbara talk in the office.  Barbara tells David that if she had her life to live over again she would change one second of it.  "Not even today?" asks David.  "Especially today," replies Barbara.  "I love you," says David, looking at Barbara, and putting his hand on her arm.  She takes his hand in hers.  "You haven't said that for quite a while," says Barbara.  David says he thinks it all the time, but just doesn't say it.  They kiss.

Kath tells Kevin that she was just saying to Glenda that it was good of John to come over last night and try and patch things up.  Kath says they have to get on if they are all going to live together.  "If he's going to be Glenda's new step dad and Katie's grandpa ..." says Kath.  Kevin looks at Glenda.  Kath tells Kevin that he'll get a job.  "Well actually Mum, we wanted to tell you something..." says Glenda, but Kath interupts to point out that Katie has egg all down her chin. 

 

"Mum, it's important," says Kevin.  "What's the matter?" asks Kath.  "We rang Canada last night," says Glenda.  "Canada?" asks Kath.  "Mum.  We've decided..." says Glenda.  "I know what you've decided.  It's been niggling at the back of my mind and haunting me ever since you first mentioned it," says Kath.  "We're emigrating," says Kevin.  Kath stares at the.  "It's for the best Mum.  For Katie's sake.  A better school.  For me, a decent home of my own.  But mostly for Kevin so he can get set up," says Glenda.

David and Barbara go to a garden centre, and David asks her if she would like a plant.  Barbara says they've got nowhere to plant it.  "We haven't got a house, let alone a garden," she says.  David says maybe Paul has the right idea, he is buying a house.

 

Miranda Pollard and Paul Ross walk across a field in order to try and find a house they are supposed to be looking at.    

 

David and Barbara Hunter stop the car and get out to look at the view.  David tells Barbara that he isn't sure that he is very happy at the motel.  "Too many unpleasant memories?" asks Barbara.  David nods and says there have been good times too.  "When I really think about it most of the important events I associate with the place aren't very pleasant.  It's only when I get away that they really stick out in my mind," says David.  Barbara tells him that she understands but she doesn't think they should let things like that matter too much.       

 

David tells Barbara that doing crazy, impulsive things like this makes it all clear to him.  "I've loved playing truant," smiles David.  "It's like being let out of prison.  But I know I have to go back, and I'll hate it," says David.  "Yes, I knew you were harbouring thoughts like that but what I didn't realise was quite how serious it is," says Barbara.  Barbara says she thinks they should go away on holiday, and David says they can make it a second honeymoon.  "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me," he says, taking Barbara's hand.                                  

 

Kath Brownlow goes to the garage office and asks Joe MacDonald if she could have a lift home with him.  She tells Joe that she has been shopping, and says it's the last big shop she'll do for the family.  Joe asks if Kevin and Glenda are ready for the off and Kath tells him that they've packed lots of bags.  Kath tells Joe that Kevin and Glenda are excited, but she will miss out on Katie growing up.  She starts to cry and Joe tells her not to upset herself, she'll be able to go out to Canada to see them.  Kath says she won't be able to afford to go that often.

Elaine Winters tells John Latchford that he has just rubbed in the fact that Kevin failed at his job, and that is the reason why Kevin, Glenda and baby Katie are leaving.  She says he hasn't got a clue how Kath is feeling and she is obviously really upset that Kevin and Glenda are leaving.  John says Kath is alright, she's a coper.  Elaine says on the surface maybe, and advises John to talk to Kath and help her through it.

Jill Chance comes out of the office and overhears and tells Glenda and Kath that she can put a stop to these rumours now.  "Well she was only saying..." says Kath.  "Well don't Glenda," says Jill.  Jill tells Glenda to pay attention to what she is doing otherwise she'll have her on the warpath.  "It's what she said.  It's not gossip, honestly," says Glenda.  Jill tells Glenda and Kath that Paul Ross is looking for a home of his own and in the absence of a woman's opinion, he has asked Miranda to help him.
