The gun shot rings out and everyone looks. Jane has been shot. Ian screams, Lucy calls out for her Dad. Jane is crying in pain. Lucy yells at Ian to call an ambulance. Ian yells at Steven “what have you done?” Ian is on the phone with the ambulance operator and explains that he needs help, his wife has been shot. They ask him on the other end if the police are needed. Ian looks at Steven and says “yes, send the police.” Steven takes off running. Lucy and Ian try to help Jane.

Bobby is calling out “Jane? Where’s Jane? I want Jane.” as Pat comes down the stairs. She is exhausted and moans that Bobby is going to wake the whole house. She goes into the front room.

Lucy is screaming at her Dad that they will send him to jail! She asks Ian if that is what he wants? He says yes it is! The phone rings and Lucy grabs it before Ian can. It’s the police. Lucy tells them that the shooter is gone and it was a stranger. Ian tells her she cannot lie to the police!

Peter is looking out the window and hears sirens from afar. Pat comes into the front room, and Bobby is curious as to where Jane is. Pat shushes him. Peter tells her that he wants all the things that help him sleep and Jane. Peter is worried about Jane. Pat is cross and tells him that she would ring if there were a need. Pat asks him what helps. Peter says that Jane sings him songs, makes up silly stories and warms up milk.

Lucy is speaking with the police as the EMT’s work on Jane. She tells them the shooter was blonde, and she couldn’t understand him until he asked for money. She continues that the gun went off and he ran. Ian glares at her as she tells the lies to the police.

Pat is trying to find a film that will work for Peter and Bobby. She finds one and declares it’s the one. Peter says no due to it being a girls movie. She tells him that The Wizard of Oz is a proper story with a nice message.

Jane is crying in pain and Ian is trying to comfort her. Jane pulls her mask off and tells Ian that she hit Steven when she saw him. She thinks he is having a mental breakdown. Ian is confused by what she means. She tells him that it happens to one in four and he doesn’t want to believe it. She tells him it can happen to anyone. Ian says it doesn’t happen to people like them.

The police bring Lucy home. The officer tells Lucy she has to wait to make sure she gets her stuff and takes her to Pats. Lucy tells her she will be fine, but the police officer tells her she has to wait. Lucy turns on the light and Steven is sitting there.

At the hospital they continue to work on Jane. Ian is staring at his phone. A nurse walks by and glares at him. He holds the phone up to show her he is not using it and it has no power. He whispers under his breath about jumped up bureaucratic middle management. The nurse stops and asks him what he said. He says he wasn’t talking to her. She tells him it’s alright, as it’s his wife and it’s stressful times. He says it is. The nurse turns around and tells him not to worry about it. She says “us middle managers are used to dealing with rude relatives. It’s amazing how so many don’t realize the impact of their words though.” Ian says he wasn’t having a go at her. She says no it’s alright when they put you down feeling like they are entitled. She says it’s funny how someone’s words can stay with you for weeks after. He tells her that it’s a bit extreme. She says people do very weird things under pressure.

The police officer tells Lucy and Steven that their dad has obviously had a breakdown. She tells them she’ll see them in the morning with their dad at the station and hopes that their stepmom will be ok. She leaves, and Lucy turns to Steven and tells him he’s got to get out of there. She tells him he’s got to get some cash and clothes and get out. She tells him if dad has told the police he’s got time to go still. Steven grabs a frying pan and says NO.

Pat and Peter are coming back in with a tray discussing the Wizard of Oz. She says that Dorothy was scared. You would be if your house had blown away, squashed the witches sister and the whole world was turned around. Then all you get is a man without a brain, one without a heart and another with no backbone. She says it’s starting to sound like real life, innit?

Ian is staring out of the door watching a man yell at the nurse. He demands to see his son and tells her she cannot stop him.

Steven is cooking breakfast. Says it’s never too early for breakfast. He starts talking about Simon being a sharp dresser and how he always had some bird he was trying to impress. Lucy is concerned. Steven goes on about Simon and how he never seemed to fit into his world. He tells Lucy to eat up. She tells him that their dad may have told the police. She says she is worried about Jane. Steven tells her that if mum were here, she’d. Lucy asks what? Steve says she would look after her and hug her. That he could hear her voice anytime, he wanted. He asks if she can. Steven says he can see her if he closes his eyes. Lucy motions no she can’t. He blames Ian. He says that all he wanted was for him to admit it. To hold his hands up and admit that he’d done it. He asks Lucy why can’t he do that?

Ian is standing watching as they prep Jane for the operating room. The nurse walks over and asks Ian if he’d like to say something before they take her to theater. He says “I’m sorry.” She looks puzzled. He says that he’s sorry for what he said to her earlier. He didn’t mean to be rude, but sometimes you say things and do things, and you don’t mean to. He goes on that sometimes he doesn’t know what’s coming out of his mouth and it’s only later that I realize what I’ve done. He keeps on that it’s all such a mess. He says it’s starting to feel like it’s all his fault. The nurse stops him and says he should save the self-analysis until after they get Jane under. Ian tells her that it was not very professional. She tells him that if she didn’t like him before all of this why would she keep asking for him now?

Lucy tells Steven he doesn’t have to tell her what their dad is like. She knows already. “There were times when I would have been well up for locking him in the room. But she’d never do it, it’s weird. She tells him that the photos, making it look like mum was back; it was what she used to dream of before. Locking dad up so we would all think he was dead. And Jane. That doesn’t just hurt him, does it? She can see how it all sounds.” He says yeah when you say it out loud it sounds screwed. She says it is screwed. He jumps up and gets sick.

Ian is talking to Jane and asks her what she thinks about a holiday. And the bathroom suite she saw. She tells him that they can talk about this later. He goes on to say that they can paint the front door any color she wants. And about that baby… he’s not exactly looking like the best dad right now. He says that she is the best part of him. Jane cries “our baby?” She tells Ian that she loves him and they embrace. She tells Ian before they take her down that he needs to clean his teeth.

Lucy tells Steven to get his coat on. He tells her that he’s her big brother. She asks him if she gets him in the car can he drive it? He tells her she shouldn’t be scared. She says no. He remembers sitting on the stairs, mum, and dad shouting. He tells her she shouldn’t be scared.

Peter is still trying to understand why the Wizard was so powerful when he was just a little man with a microphone. lights and a curtain. Pat declares joyfully that was because he was the Wonderful Wizard of Oz! Pat says if he’d just watched the film he’d understand. Bobby asks her to put the film on. She tells him it’s too late now. Peter again says “but he was just a little man?” Pat says yes he was just a little man faking it behind the curtain pulling levers and making out he was bigger than he was. Peter says he ripped Doris off after all that and flew off in a balloon. Pat laughs and says no, Dorothy. She figures he just got carried away trying to do more than he could. He was a bit of rubbish.

Ian is spinning his wedding ring around nervously as he waits for Jane to come out of surgery. he prays.

Pat finishes the story saying the good which came in her bubble and told Dorothy she could have gone home anytime she wanted. The power was in her ruby slippers. She declares that Dorothy wasn’t even hacked off.

Lucy walks in and wake Ian as he sits and waits on news of Jane. He is startled and asks Lucy what she’s doing there. She asks if Jane is ok. He tells her sarcastically that she’s fine, she’s just been shot! He apologizes and tells her that they are trying to repair her stomach from the damage. He thinks she’s going to be ok. He asks her if she came down to ask him that. She tells him that he was right. He says that is the first time. She breaks down and tells him that Steven is here. Ian is angered. She tells him that he is in the car and she can’t get him out of the car, and he’s acting strangely. He tells her that he wants nothing to do with him. He is not his son, and he never wants to see him. Lucy is upset. He asks Lucy for the keys to the car.

Pat is falling asleep finishing the story of the Wizard of Oz. She says that everything Dorothy ever wanted was right in front of her in her back yard. She says that she learned there is no place like home. Pat says that with a little luck those two will be back in theirs tomorrow.

Ian comes out and gets in the car with Steven. Ian asks him where to? The police station or over a sodding cliff? Either one would give him great pleasure. He asks Steven if he has any idea of the damage he’s done. He screams at him to speak up. Yes, NO, None of the above? He says I’m sorry Steven I didn’t quite catch your answer? You didn’t have any issue screaming at me before. Steven is shaking as Ian screams at him. He tells Steven to get out of his car. Steven almost whispers that he can’t. He says that he is not well. Ian is furious and says that is priceless. Now they are finally getting somewhere. He screams for Steven to get out of his car again. Steven screams at him that he can’t. Ian says “let’s talk about little Steven one more time. My wife is up on the operating table, and you want to talk about you” Steven tells him he doesn’t know what’s happening. Ian tells him “welcome to my world.” Steven says that he eats and throws up. That he can’t sleep. He says that he feels ok one minute and then the next feel crazy. He says that he was going to come inside the hospital, but he didn’t know what to say. Ian says how about sorry? Steven talks about how he never fit in anywhere, at Auntie Pauline’s, New Zealand and anywhere. He doesn’t know why he has to try.

the phone rings and Pat is running down the stairs. Bobby calls out again for Jane. It’s Lucy and she tells her that she is at the hospital.

Ian calls someone and tells them he needs an appointment at their r place of work. He says it’s not for him as he’s not ready yet. Ian backs into motorbikes and water bottles knocking them all down.

Pat arrives at the hospital and Lucy runs to her. Ian is talking to someone and says that Steven has seen someone for anxiety. He comes in and says that the doctor says he can stay here if he wants. Steven says “I thought.” Ian walks past him. Steven says “It’s just that I thought that you got me. That we got each other before Jane came into the picture.” Ian says that there is only one person who came between them. He tells Steven that his mother dies in childbirth. It didn’t matter where she was she would have still died. Steven asks him to come with him into the room. He calls out “Dad.” Ian walks out gets into his car and opens the glove box and sees the gun and candy wrappers. He breaks down crying.

the nurse burst through the doors and asks Lucy if her dad is back. She says it’s urgent that htey speak to him about Mrs Beale. Lucy begins to cry.

Bobby is calling out “Jane? Where’s Jane? I want Jane.” as Pat comes down the stairs. She is exhausted and moans that Bobby is going to wake the whole house. She goes into the front room.

Lucy is screaming at her Dad that they will send him to jail! She asks Ian if that is what he wants? He says yes it is! The phone rings and Lucy grabs it before Ian can. It’s the police. Lucy tells them that the shooter is gone and it was a stranger. Ian tells her she cannot lie to the police!
