Having discovered her mother's secret, Phoebe is having a rough time.

Having discovered her mother's secret, Phoebe is having a rough time. Her grandparents Michael and Delia are very worried about her change of personality.

Over breakfast, Phoebe snaps at Kate and sarcastically asks Kate about her 'friend' in need, referring to being left at the Mall. Phoebe suddenly announces that they should move to Durban with Lucas right away. 

Kate's angry when Lucas reveals he has given their maid her notice, feeling taken for granted that the move is happening. Kate says she and the kids are staying where they are, but angry Lucas reminds Kate that they made a deal - it's his turn to develop his career. Lucas storms off leaving Kate alone sobbing. 

Kate phones her mum Jennifer back in England and Jennifer admits understanding Lucas's point of view - she suggests they reach a compromise. Kate should often stick to her principles, but this is just not one of those times. 

Michael and Delia fondly note Phoebe's selling skills, although even she can't shift Kate's pottery, which Kate suggested asking a high price for. It's left to Michael to step up and be secretly generous. Phoebe opens up about her confusion about the move, just as Kate arrives - happy to learn that one of her pots was sold. Kate reveals she's not moving to Durban, and an emotional Phoebe screams that she knows exactly why, running away and worrying Delia. 

Produced by Sarah Bradshaw.
