April finds Dex somewhat distant when talk arises of their upcoming university studies. Having skipped his tests at the hospital, Dex almost faints at the bait shop. Alf and April are forced to call Sid as a result. Back at the farmhouse, Dex’s deep fears surface – he’s going to have to put up with his epilepsy for the rest of his life. April informs Dex that with family and friends around to support him, life will return to normal – he will be able to study and successfully become a nurse. With April moving into the farmhouse to be with Dex, it seems any concerns about his health and his future are a thing of the past.
