Irene is really struggling after discovering her court hearing has been scheduled for tomorrow. Her lawyer tried to make clear the severity of the situation, but she has been burying her head in the sand. She's truthful with Harper and Dana, explaining that there's every chance she's going to end up in prison.

Despite Harper's own lawyer advising against it, she is determined to stand by her friend and turn up to support Irene in court. However, Dana is scared for the repercussions this could have on her sister. She feels they should be dutifully following their lawyer's advice, and steering clear of Irene, but Harper refuses to abandon her friend.

Instead, Dana appeals to Irene to enforce their distance. Irene agrees, knowing the best chance for Harper's case is if she stays well away. So, Irene confronts the girls. She demands Harper not turn up to support her in court. In fact, Irene has decided Harper and Dana should find someplace else to live, she's kicking them out.

Meanwhile, Felicity and Tane are intercepted by Mackenzie on their way to work, which stops Felicity in her tracks. Tane realises that they are hiding something from him, and when Felicity denies anything, he goes to Mackenzie, assuming their problems are work and maternity related. Mackenzie refuses to give any information but indicates he couldn't be further from the truth.

Mac warns that she'll tell Tane the truth unless Felicity comes clean herself. Finding each pill harder to swallow, Felicity tries to connect with Tane, prompting questions around what will happen if she never falls pregnant. He shrugs her questions off, feeling that she just needs to be a little more optimistic.

When Felicity instructs Tane he is not to speak to Mackenzie, he knows he will not get the truth from her and therefore takes Mackenzie aside, demanding she tell him what is going on with his wife. Will Mackenzie falter on covering Felicity's lie?
