Stewart Lawson, a depressed, bitter, and withdrawn man who is fighting a losing battle with leukemia, returns to the Wandin Valley hospital to die. The arrival of a writer interested in interviewing Stewart for a series of articles on the Marilinga A-bomb tests sheds some light on Mr. Lawson's past, but because his concerns at the time were ignored and he was forced out of the armed forces for raising them, Lawson is in no mood to talk to anyone about his experiences now. Simon comes up with the idea of putting on a stage show to raise money for the hospital. Shirley secretly plans a vacation to Bali but must alter her plans when Frank refuses to go. Marta has second thoughts about the dilapidated house she's purchased but a visit from Molly helps with her optimism. Brendan discovers why his old clothes have been disappearing-Molly has been composting them. A lonely boy who wets his bed regularly is burned while stoking a wood stove.
