When Ringo finds out that the mysterious stranger in Erinsborough is James, a guy claiming to be Donna's brother, he can't help but find him dubious and tells him as much. When Donna meets James it's an entirely different affair, though, and they immediately seem to share a connection. James, however, tells Donna that Ringo has a problem with him and that he thinks he should rather leave. Outraged by this, Donna confronts Ringo and tells him that he has to get over his distrust of James or she's leaving him.

Also, when Elle sees Lucas and Sonya talking to each other at the garage, she immediately assumes that there's something between them. She quizzes Libby as to who this mysterious women is and she explains to her that it's Rocky the dog's new trainer, adding that Callum is trying to get her and Toadie to be an item. Elle is, however, convinced that there's something going on between Lucas and Sonya and it becomes apparent that maybe she's right when they later share an intimate moment in the park.
