Extended Summary

Blake can’t believe that Meg only have a few days left to live. He is devastated. Julia tells Blake that they both have to be strong for Meg’s sake. Meg doesn’t know yet. Julia thinks it is for the best that she doesn’t know about the test results.

Julia comes back into Meg’s room at the hospital. She acts normal. Meg senses that something is wrong anyway.

Blake can’t face Meg now when he knows that she will die in a couple of days.

Julia, Alf and Ailsa tell Blake that he must go in to see Meg. He is very sad. He tries to act normal as he walks into Meg’s room. After a while he rushes out of there. She senses that there is something really wrong here.

Fin is very happy to be a part of the Ross family instead of just living there as she did before.

Sophie talks to Ryan. She feels very excited about her pregnancy. She thanks Ryan for making her see it that way.

Pippa had spoken to the department about fostering Fin and everything turns out OK. Pippa and Michael are happy about having Fin in the family.

Fin and Sophie visits Meg in the hospital. They give her a present, which is make-up. Meg is very happy.

Blake is very depressed about Meg and is sitting down at beach with Simon. Sophie and Fin come by and joke around. After a while, they realise that Blake is very sad and they feel terrible. They figure it must have something to do with Meg.

Fin got a letter from her brother, Damian. She reads it in private. Pippa, Michael and Sophie are a bit puzzled.

Simon talks to Blake about Meg. Blake is convinced that Meg would want to know that she only has a few days left to live. Simon understands why Julia doesn’t agree with Blake on that.

Alf and Ailsa visit Fisher. They tell him that Meg hasn’t got very long to live. They say that Blake will need time off school. Fisher understands completely.

Sophie talked Lucinda and Ryan into helping her move furniture so that she can start on doing up the room that her baby will sleep in (Haydn’s old room). They have a great time. Nick comes in and wonders what they are up to!

Blake visits Meg in the hospital. He is a little more together now than he was earlier. Doctor Sinclair enters the room and Blake leaves; he talks to Meg.

Dr Sinclair tells Meg that she hasn’t got long to live. She is very sad (emotional music). He also explains that Julia and Blake know about it.

Fin tells Pippa, Michael and Sophie that she doesn’t want to be fostered by them anymore. They are shocked at the sudden change of heart.

Blake talks to Meg. After a while, they both start to cry and they hug each other. He realises that Meg knows that she only has a few days left (music plays).
