Extended Summary

Dani would not open the door for Will but eventually does when a guy calls over with a load of furniture. Dani loves Will but she won’t admit it.

Luke tries to hellp Sally but she pushes him away. He tells her he is staying longer than intended when she mentions that she thought he may be back in the city reporting to Kieran.

Les tries to get back in Colleen’s good books but she is not interested.

Joel is not happy when Gypsy tells him Natalie rang asking her to call over. Worse news for him is that Tom has stopped by. Gypsy is unsure whether to go and decides not to go. Joel suggests she should go, and that he would have to get over it and asks her to persuade Tom to get in touch.

At the Diner, Judith and Peta are going over the list over what to take with them. Edward has a long list – of books! Peta tells him they are supposed to travel light and Judith leaves on that note; they are so busy that they have not noticed her leaving.

Judith has called over to see Joel to thank him for dinner the other night. Joel tries to kiss her, to her shock. She realises he is doing this just to get back at Natalie; she points out that she is not there as his emotional convenience and storms out.

Will asks Dani a question on why she is dead set on singing. She loves singing and would like to do it as a career. They start talking.

Sally returns to her place and finds a mess in the living room; she reads a note Leah wrote explaining that she was trying out recipes for the Diner and thought she would have time to clean up and pleads her not to clean up as she will do it later. Sally is annoyed and puts the kettle on. There is a stain on her arm and she wipes it off; she heads off to the Diner asking Luke to help her…
