Extended Summary
Thrown by Kirsty’s breakdown over the baby, Miles isn’t sure what to do. Everyone in the house is feeling the effect, including Alf and the kids. Leah too is still feeling guilty over the food poisoning, and responsible for causing the miscarriage. When she admits to Miles she thinks she was responsible, that it was her fault, Miles is cold with her. But later, when Rachel tells Miles Kirsty had listeria and consequently, the loss of the baby wasn’t Leah’s fault, he apologizes to her, leaving Leah immensely relieved.
Annie’s not sure whether she should take Jai’s offer of his place in Japan, because of her connection to Romeo. When Romeo discovers that Annie might be going, he confronts her, wanting to know if she is, but she’s not sure, and a miscommunication leads Annie to believe he doesn’t care if she does or doesn’t. When Miles tells Jai there’s no need for him to dump the student exchange – the family will get through the tough time they’re facing, he changes his mind about giving up his place, just as Annie arrives to tell Jai she wants to take the trip. Romeo sees her disappointment, and helps to open up another place on the trip, and Annie is taken by his gesture. The two share a sweet goodbye, with him promising that he’ll be there waiting for her when she returns. Annie and Jai are farewelled from the Bay as they set off on their adventure.
Nicole is worried about her first exam, and thinks she hasn’t fully prepared. When she runs into Liam, he convinces her that cramming doesn’t work, so instead they hang out, in an effort to take her mind off it. But the next morning, Nicole sleeps in and is late for her first exam, which she promptly thinks she stuffed up. She vents to Aden, she can’t believe she listened to Liam, which leaves Aden annoyed with him. He finds Liam and gets stuck into him for leading Nicole astray. Liam is sorry, genuinely thinking he was doing the right thing by Nicole, but Aden isn’t buying it. Liam then breaks up with Nicole until after the HSC, to allow her to focus on her study. Nicole is left stunned.
