Steph realises that Pauline has been lying to Johnny but picks an inopportune moment to confront her about the matter.

At the event itself, Pauline drops a bombshell, the male model disappears and a woman from head office turns up unannounced. All things considered, this is not the best time for Nita to go into labour.
