Extended Summary

Gypsy’s still left confused, even though she’s talked to Will about the baby. To cut a long story short, Will asked Gypsy where they went wrong. He added that he wished the relationship he had with Dani was similar to theirs. It hurt Gypsy knowing Will couldn’t see they’d make a great couple. At least they’re on speaking terms.

Jade and Nick’s rice baby has been found. After he left Jade, Nick went out and retraced their steps to locate the missing bubba. Irene was freaking because Nick hadn’t come home and he hadn’t phoned to say where he was. When he got home, Will was furious, but Jade was over the moon. She couldn’t believe Nick would do something like that for her.

Unfortunately, Leah and Vinnie’s flour baby met a tragic death. Vinnie took the baby to the beach and left it out in the sun. Leah was shocked, so she took it to the Diner to look after it there. Colleen was running about not knowing the bag of rice was a ‘baby’, so what did she do? Yes she opened the rice thinking it was for the Diner. Leah was mortified and told Vinnie she’s going to be a bad mother. They’ve both finally agreed to agree on the fact they’ll be great parents.

While Jude can’t forgive Shauna, he’s forgiven Flynn. At first he was touchy whenever Flynn came to talk to him. Shelley thought Flynn was being more of a counsellor than a mate and suggested Flynn try listening instead of talking. Now they’re both getting on like a house on fire.

Shauna’s decided to take the job in Melbourne. She thinks she’s going to be a great teacher and doesn’t want to miss out on the opportunity. Fisher’s really happy for her, especially since it’s proved a point to June. She thinks some people are meant to be teachers and others aren’t. June thinks Shauna could be something else.
