However, when they arrive at the airport, they discover that Paul's flight has already left. They're unaware that Paul has returned home to Rebecca and is ready to face the music. After venting her anger, Rebecca sees a glimmer of good in Paul and agrees to give their relationship another chance. With Toadie's approval, Paul decides to lay low in order to find the Ramsay children's father. After that, he will turn himself into the police.
