Extended Summary
After finding the plane ticket to Indonesia, Martha wants to know if Hugo is going back with Suzy. He assures her he’s not, he only agreed to it to get Suzy off his back. But the news that it’s the Police who are watching the house is unsettling for Martha – she wants answers, so she confronts them, but they won’t tell her anything. The last thing she wants is for Bambang to be in danger, so she’s immediately worried. Hugo later tells her that he has sold his half of the business in Indonesia to Suzy – he wants to start a new life with Martha, with no ties to the old one.
Xavier is juggling Rosie and Ali – and he can’t seem to get up the courage to end his relationship with either of them. Encounters with each of them lead to the same result – each girl thinks Xavier wants to be with them. When Ali turns up during Xavier’s dinner with John and Gina, he wastes no time in inviting her to stay, only to have Rosie turn up as well, which leads to an uncomfortable situation at the table. The girls start having a go at each other, each fighting for Xavier, until Ali runs out, distressed when Xavier won’t choose between them. Both girls now know Xavier has been intimate with the other and it doesn’t look good for him.
Gina is very wary of Xavier’s attitude to her relationship with John, but she tries to make it work by inviting John over for dinner. She wants Xavier to see John isn’t all bad, but Xavier isn’t interested, until Gina gives him no choice: he has to be at dinner. Xavier does everything he can to sabotage the evening, including allowing Rosie and Ali to join them in an attempt to ruin the night, which it does. The girls fight over Xavier, but John takes it all in his stride, and isn’t phased. Xavier snaps at the end of the night, telling Gina he just wants John to leave, but Gina throws it back at him: tough, John’s staying the night. Xavier is left horrified.
