Adam tries to make up for his past. Adam and Sarah row over his past infidelities but when Sarah's mobile phone beeps suddenly to remind her she is ovulating. Sarah drags him home.
As Zeedan and Marrium pour over the family's paperwork, Marrium tells him that she doesn't hate him anymore and he is still the decent man she married.
Meanwhile, to Gail's relief, Audrey accepts that she needs to book an eye test but is scared of losing her independence.
Elsewhere, Sally declares war on Maria. Sally tries to talk Maria out of her decision, asserting she has no experience but Maria sticks to her guns, pointing out she has integrity instead. With the Question & Answers session underway, Maria forces Sally to explain how she was imprisoned during her mayoral career. Smarting from her humiliation, Sally vows to beat Maria at her own game.
