As Erin grows increasingly anxious about the
imminent arrival of her daughter Cat, Sonya is full of
support and reassurance.
When the nerves become too much for Erin
to handle, Sonya later finds her at The Waterhole, trying to stave off
temptation by playing cards.
Erin admits that she's been feeling
the pressure and asks Sonya to take a step back. However, while Sonya
thinks they are back on track, Erin clearly thinks differently but lets
her believe otherwise.
Later that night, Brennan reports that
Erin has disappeared and stolen his possessions such as his wallet and
laptop. Sonya is devastated as she realises Erin has run away but she is
left in a further predicament when Cat knocks at the door.
Sonya
and Toadie are then tasked with the difficult ordeal of having to break
the news to Cat that her mother will not be showing up for their
planned visit.

Although Cat tries to be stoic about it, Sonya and Toadie can see she is
devastated at having been let down by her mother yet again.
Karl
later encourages Sonya not to give up on Erin yet, and as he presses
Sonya to put herself in Erin's shoes to work out where she might have
gone, Sonya has a brainwave and heads off to find her.
As Sonya
tracks Erin down at the antique shop, where she just sold the items she
stole from Brennan, Sonya begs Erin to come home with her and see Cat
rather than give up.
However, it is clear Erin is a broken woman
who has lost all hope as she tells Sonya that she is off the hook and
doesn't need to feel responsible for her any longer. Finally, Sonya
realises that, despite her best efforts, there won't be a happy ending
for Erin as she's a lost cause.
