Extended Summary

Concerned Marilyn hasn’t grieved properly after Mitzy’s death, Sid takes her to a secret, lush, rainforest location, hoping it’s the perfect place for her to meditate and make peace. There, Marilyn confronts her anger towards Mitzy for lying about predicting her end-date. And while Sid knows Mitzy actually did believe she predicted Marilyn’s death, he keeps his promise to Mitzy to keep the truth from Marilyn. Marilyn thanks Sid for taking her there, explaining she’s forgiven Mitzy and is now ready to live a full life, knowing it’s not going to end for a long time. Sid is glad his excursion worked, but feels a little guilty keeping Mitzy’s death-bed confession a secret.

It’s moving day for Angelo, Charlie and Ruby and Charlie can’t help feeling a little anxious about this big commitment. During a break, when Alf suggests that marriage and babies are going to come next for the couple, Charlie really freaks out. Charlie worries she’ll never feel easy about moving in with Angelo but Leah reasons she’s surrounded by people who love her and want to help her through this time. Charlie’s comforted by the words and when Ruby suggests a housewarming, Charlie gives her full support, completely committed to making this living arrangement work.

After sending her mum an email, Indi anxiously waits for a reply that may never come. Hurt by the rejection and in need of love and affection more than ever, Indi is shocked when she hears Irene ask Romeo if he’s heard from his ex, Annie. Indi is afraid she’ll lose Romeo to Annie but when he questions why she’s so upset, Indi claims she’s annoyed her mum can’t reply to her when his ex has no problem emailing Romeo. Romeo buys the story and encourages Indi not to worry, but when Alf gives Indi some mail to pass on to Romeo, Indi is horrified to find a letter from Annie. Will Indi pass the letter on or keep it a secret to keep her man?
