- Shirley fights to keep her job, as Maggie learns the truth that Shirley is her birth mother. Joan uncovers McNaughton's part in Greg Mathieson's death, and Viv loses her twins all over again.
- Forced to continue living in the hospital whilst juggling work, a baby, and a husband in remand, an exhausted Joan collapses and is rushed into surgery. It's a dire result - an infection has left her almost certainly infertile. Annie is finally letting herself enjoy her time with Chris, despite Matron's presence in her life proving to always be a thorn in her side. Maggie, an out-of-control teen armed with a letter written by her birth mother, breaks into the abandoned Stanton House demanding answers. Her fed-up adoptive mother discovers Maggie is pregnant so relinquishes her to the State - sending her kicking and screaming back to the forbidding Tarramar Girls Home. Viv is on a quest to find Maggie's biological mother, but it's Shirley who finds Maggie's letter, and recognises her own writing. Maggie is the daughter she had given up fifteen years before. Meanwhile, Matron shoehorns her way onto the hospital board only to have her motion to reopen Stanton House defeated. Thrilled with his decision to quit medicine, Bowditch proposes to Martha, but Martha is not prepared to marry someone who has thrown away their career.
- Still reeling after discovering Maggie is her daughter, Shirley is dealt another blow when the new owner of the Blue Moon, Leon, gives her an ultimatum - triple the week's takings or lose your job. Determined to succeed, Shirley capitalises on the U.S. soldiers flooding into the Cross, with a 24-hour 'Groove Train' gala. Amidst the preparations, she makes an uncomfortable visit to Tarramar Girls Home to return Maggie's letter - leaving the girl suspicious of her motives. In a risky move, Viv befriends her twins' adoptive mother Faye, but when one of the twins is rushed to hospital, Matron connects the dots. Viv is taken to task for making contact with her babies and their adoptive mother, but it's nothing compared to the painful news she later receives - the twins are moving overseas permanently. Meanwhile, Joan is furious with McNaughton when she discovers he witnessed Greg Mathieson's death and did nothing to save him. Joan suspects the sudden appearance of a pro bono lawyer who gets Jim out on bail is McNaughton's way of assuaging his guilt. Chris wants to prove himself to Annie, but a lowly job at the hospital isn't appealing. He bolts, leaving behind a wad of cash and no word on when he'll be back. A severe bout of morning sickness makes Annie too ill to perform, and she unexpectedly bails on the 'Groove Train' gig. Shirley heads to the Oasis to look for Annie but instead finds Maggie, who has escaped from Tarramar to confront Shirley about being her mother. Shirley admits the truth but says she can't be the mother Maggie needs. The situation intensifies when Maggie discovers Shirley had another child, Ben, and kept him. Irate and betrayed, Maggie runs, leaving Shirley shaken.
