As Naomi prepares a press conference to launch the
Erinsborough Festival, Paul is approached by Dimato, who has recently
inherited some properties in the area.
Dimato reveals to Paul
that he wants to meet the main business people in Erinsborough and,
sensing an opportunity, Paul suggest he sponsor the festival.
Although
Dimato agrees, Brennan becomes suspicious after remembering his name
and rings an old friend at the police department to enquire about him.
Realising he has a dodgy reputation, Brennan warns Naomi, who then
relays this back to Paul, suggesting they turn down Dimato's offer of
sponsorship in order to avoid any negative press.

Dimato is naturally unhappy about this and urges Paul to change his mind
but is knocked back once again. However, after attending the press
launch and speaking with Sheila, Dimato decides to turn his attention
onto Naomi in the hope that she can change Paul's mind.
Putting
his new plan into action, Dimato offers Naomi a consultancy fee to put
in a good word with the Mayor but when Brennan learns about Dimato's
bribe, he urges Naomi to go to the police.
Not wanting to cause a
drama, Naomi faces Dimato and hands back his money, insisting that she
hasn't told anyone about it. However, the situation starts to get out of
hand when Brennan decides to intervene and confront Dimato.
Furious
that Naomi has clearly spilled the beans on their 'arrangement', Dimato
later corners her and makes it clear that he is not happy. Has Naomi
made an enemy?
