Roo arrives home with Alf who is still not happy that she is dating Harvey. Roo is annoyed by the fact that her dad doesn’t like Harvey and wishes that sometimes there would be a delete button on her because she didn’t mean to hurt Mel with what she said in yesterday’s episode.
She walks into the house and finds Lottie sitting there. Lottie said that Ruby let her in and asked again if she could stay with Roo saying that things at home are too full on and they wouldn’t even know Lottie was there. Roo rings Harvey and tells him that Lottie is with her. Harvey insists to Mel that they should have a coffee and a chat regarding Lottie.
Gina reveals to John & Xavier that Jett has been taken from one foster family to another but they have now finally found him a foster family to live with permenently. Gina is relieved that maybe now Jett can start afresh and hopes that they will fit well together.
Dex & Sasha complain that it sucks to be in love. Dex admits to Sasha that he told April how he felt but April shot him down. Sasha complained that Casey doesn’t even know she exists.
When Lottie says she only wants to stay for maybe a couple of days Roo agrees but asks then what? Alf advises Lottie that she will eventually have to talk to her mother. Lottie asks what will happen if her mother doesn’t want to. Alf replies with well maybe you will have to be the bigger person and talk to her regardless.
Mel admits to Harvey that Lottie isn’t the problem. That she herself is the problem. She admits there are times when she could just walk away and disappear and that’s all she can think about on some days. She wishes she could leave this life and start again but she can’t because she has Lottie. She then asks Harvey why do you think they came back here in the first place (Since when have they lived in the bay??) so that Harvey could take some of the burden. She has felt like this since Ben died. Harvey admits that he has felt like that as well and misses Ben and thinks about him every single day.
April walks in the diner and Sasha sees her and talks angrily to her about her way of treating Dex when Dex told her exactly how he felt about her.
Gina runs into Jett and he admits to her that he has run away. He tells Gina that he doesn’t want to live with strangers that probably don’t want him. He asks her why can’t he live with her as she is the only one who has tried to help him.
Sasha tries to convince Dex to eat chocolate to help him out of his misery but Dex says that no amount of chocolatey goodness is going to help him. Lottie arrives and asks Sasha to give them a moment as Sasha takes off, Lottie tells Dex that she’d rather skip the awkward part and go back to being friends. Dex agrees. They shake hands agreeing that they are mates. Lottie walks in just as she hears her mother saying she wishes she could do it without Lottie. Lottie is thankful that her mother has finally admitted that something was wrong and that Lottie always knew that something was wrong. Mel admits to Lottie that she needs to go and get some help.
Gina tells John & Xavier that she has called docks and has asked if Jett can stay with them for a few days. Xavier didn’t react to kindly suggesting that Gina has already done enough for Jett and that Jett is too much trouble. John is shocked but Gina insists that Jett is asking for her help and she is not going to turn her back on him.
Irene convinces April that maybe Dex is one thing that has come good out of all this mess because he has finally told her what she has been waiting to hear from him for weeks. Irene suggests to April that she put everything aside and ask herself does she really want to be with Dex or not?
Mel apologises to Roo about her behaviour. Mel asks Roo if Lottie could stay with her while Harvey takes her to the city to get better. Roo finally agrees. So Lottie is another member of SBH, for the time being at least….. that house is getting a bit crowded…. one room for Alf, one room for Roo, one room for Marilyn, one room for Ruby, one room for Romeo and now one for Lottie, 6 people.
April arrives in the diner just as Dex has finished scolding Sasha for interfering with his love life. Dex apologies again for his lousy timing and says that maybe they should just forget it. April says she doesn’t want to forget it and gives him a kiss. She tells him that she is in love with him and probably has always been. As they kiss again, Sasha looks on with a kind of grossed out but happy face.
John finally agrees that Jett can stay with them even though they just converted the spare room into his office! Gina suggests that Jett can sleep on the couch for now. At their place John lays down the law for Jett saying that if he takes advantage of Gina’s kind heart, he has got him to deal with.
