Extended Summary

Alf confronts Marilyn over Mr Oddly, saying he knows that she’s behind it and demands to know who else is involved. Marilyn refuses to give in, and Miles teases him with the doll some more. When Alf heads upstairs Marilyn wonders whether they should stop, but Miles reckons they haven’t got to the fun stuff yet. The tables appear to be turned however when Romeo heads for a surf, and is quite surprised to find Mr Oddly buried in the sand underneath his towel. Miles pleads ignorance.

Marilyn is looking forward to her big date with Sid, she cons Alf into giving her clothing advice, and he takes the opportunity to remind her she needs to be careful. But Marilyn wants to believe that people can change, and is willing to give Sid a chance. Indi is disgusted by Sid’s behaviour – sleeping with Veronica when he’s planning on going out with Marilyn. Neither Dex or Indi are pleased. Sid pleads with them to believe him – he wants to keep the family together. Romeo tells Marilyn that Sid was with a nurse, who is surprised, and a bit shattered by the news. After taking time to reflect, she confronts Sid, asking if he’s seeing anyone else, and he says no. Marilyn seems satisfied with his answer and says she’ll see him later.

Nicole is still bothered by Penn, she simply can’t shake the thought he’s seeing other girls. She confides to Miles that she thought she was okay with it – she didn’t want anything serious after Aden, but now she’s really struggling with the thought that he’s cheating on her.

Desperate to be with Liam, Ruby hates the fact she can’t be, and it’s consuming her every moment. Bianca continues to flirt with Liam, and he’s quite taken with her, and their interaction really gets to Ruby. When Liam runs into Bianca at school, he’s shocked to discover she’s going to be joining the staff as languages teacher.
