Lock up your fathers, brothers, sons and husbands, Chrissie Williams is back from maternity leave and she's on the prowl once more! Though she's wiped out by juggling motherhood with her nursing career, the well-known man-eater takes time out of her exhaustion to flirt with relative newcomer Greg Douglas. Chrissie remains oblivious to the obvious torch that her old flame Sacha still holds for her and, taking advantage of his good nature, agrees to his offer of babysitting so she can go out for a drink with the boys. Will Chrissie really fall for slippery doc Greg's charms? Also this week: Jess Griffin returns to deliver some exciting news to dad Ric, she's 18 weeks pregnant! Meanwhile, Jac warns Joseph not to allow Faye to suck him into her world of grief.
