Extended Summary
Blake and Meg dance and have fun in his room. They end up on the bed together and kiss. It is obvious Meg wants to sleep with him and he seems OK with that (tense music plays). After a while they decide it is not right to go through with it at this time. They decide to speak to Julia first.
Meg and Blake are joking with each other at the beach. After a while, she suddenly falls down in incredible pain.
Blake runs off to call Julia.
Blake speaks to Julia after Meg has been taken care of. Meg is in a pretty bad condition. Blake explains to Julia about Meg’s third wish and explains that they wanted to go away for a weekend alone to get closer. She realise they mean having sex. Julia seems OK with that but Blake and Julia both understand that they can’t go through with it now as Meg is in a bad condition.
Blake talks to Sophie. Blake is very upset over this whole thing. He looks at a photo of his mum and speaks out loud to her while Simon watches. He talks very emotionally to her mum and starts crying hysterically. Simon hugs him (emotional music).
Fin talks to Sophie. Sophie is half-awake. Fin doesn’t know what to do about Randy and the trip to Rocky Point. Sophie gives Fin an idea to go away on the trip but not to stay away the whole night. Fin checks it with Michael and it is OK.
Fin tells Randy. He hates the idea since it means he would have to stay sober for the whole day to drive her back at evening.
Meg is home from hospital. She is resting on the sofa. Blake comes by and knocks on door. Meg gets up and opens the door (tense music). They go outside and kiss (emotional music)
Meg and Blake are at the beach talking. She explains that her condition is critical. Her sprain basically can’t take any more due to the leukaemia. She explains she might only have a few weeks left to live. Blake gets very sad (emotional music).
Meg explains she still wants to go away with Blake and she says it is the last thing she wants to do before she dies. They decide they will still go away on their weekend alone.
Randy tries to talk Fin into going with him on the trip to Rocky Point and stay all night.
Fin talks to Michael at the beach. He gives her an ultimatum that if she goes away on the weekend and stays away all night she can’t come home anymore.
Blake and Meg tell Julia they will go away this weekend. Julia thinks Alf and Ailsa should know about it. They talk to Alf about it. He does not like the idea. Julia tells Alf she is sort of OK with them going away alone as she can’t risk Meg hating her.
