Episode five
6th February 2008
Lindsay sets herself up in business with some friends. It’s not an entirely unpleasant surprise for Vin and Reza when they come home one evening to find the house full of scantily-clad babes modelling Lindsay’s new business – lingerie.
It’s all going well – orders are coming in, happy punters depart with their purchases, life is sweet. That is until one of Lindsay’s business partners, Chrissie, gives a large chunk of order money to her boyfriend who says he’ll pay it back the next day after he’s done a deal on something.
Suffice to say the money doesn’t come back and the deal isn’t just a deal – it’s the biggest drugs deal the area’s seen in a long time. Naturally, it doesn’t take long for Sergeant Bain to start sniffing around.
Meanwhile, Kacie finds herself splashed all over the press – she’s been having an affair with a Z-list celebrity. A married one at that. Will Kacie be able to turn the situation to her advantage?
Episode four
30th January 2008
In an ironic twist, Lindsay is working at an insurance company – the sort of place that pays out when someone like the Carters rob your house. Soon she discovers that her colleagues are working a scam of their own, approving each other’s fraudulent claims. Lindsay, determined not to return to her previous life, doesn’t want any part of it, but will her refusal put the new job in jeopardy?
Meanwhile, Lianna is growing increasingly concerned that Grandpa might be getting it on with Margaret (who, before the op, used to be his cell-mate Mark).
Taylor, haunted by his unforgettable night with Vicky Hong, dumps Catherine and pursues Vicky – made more difficult by the fact that she thinks she slept with his twin brother Vin and not him.
Elsewhere, hapless twin brother Vin gets tangled up with Mrs Hong and finds himself in hospital.
Episode three
23rd January 2008
The new-found poverty is really starting to bite in the Carter family but that’s not what’s getting Lindsay down. Nor is it the relentless boredom of working in the garden centre - Lindsay’s lonely. The reality of spending the next four years without her husband has really hit home.
An old friend of the family, Owen turns up. He and his wife have just split up and he needs Lindsay to help him out with his car sales business. She’d be doing him a favour and it’s got to be better to be working in an office and being paid properly, than a life with Clive and garden centre wages.
Lindsay’s more than happy to jack in her job and go and work for Owen, who happens to be extremely good-looking too. When Mack learns about this from Vin, he is furious.
As for Taylor, life as the perfect Carter child is getting him down. He’s feeling guilty at work for snagging the job under false pretences and he’s permanently worried that he might get found out.
He’s also feeling trapped by his relationship with Catherine. So when Vin comes to him with a crazy suggestion, Taylor actually listens.
