It's Georgie's birthday but unfortunately, her father seems to have forgotten. Missing her dad, and armed with her birthday money, Georgie slips away from her party and sets off for Sydney. Having successfully reached Magnolia Vale by train, Georgie's plans go awry when she losses her money. As if her situation isn't bad enough, Georgie isn't feeling well, and back in Wandin Valley, Harry believes she may have appendicitis. Heading up the search for Georgie are Danny and Ian, but despite their efforts they always seem to find themselves two steps behind the young traveller. The frantic search concludes as Georgie is located in the bush near the rail lines outside of Magnolia Vale. Harry is able to quickly confirm his previous diagnosis and Georgie is rushed to hospital in Burrigan where a reduced holiday staff forces Harry to perform the operation. A young blind woman is struck by a car. Fortunately, she emerges unscathed but her guide dog is badly injured. The dog is taken to Jess who is able to operate on the dog to repair ligament damage to the dog's leg. Meanwhile, a relationship begins to develop between the young woman and the apologetic young man who backed his car into her. Claire does her best to sensitively decline Danny's proposal of marriage stating that she's not ready to make a commitment just yet. Ian and Sophie Wilks meanwhile have started something, much to the delight of Georgie who's still hoping to see her mother remarry.
