Extended Summary
Before leaving Ken drops by Irene’s place to thank her for all the help with the kids and for setting him on the right track about his drinking. Ken speaks with Will at school and insists that he hear him out. He tells Will that he’s going away to clean himself up and he’ll write about his progress – regardless if Will ever writes back. Will walks off without giving Ken any sign of encouragement. Before leaving, Ken thanks Irene for being so supportive and telling her she’s a ‘good’ sort; Ken gives Irene a goodbye kiss. As it turns passionate, Will walks in on them.
James tells Vinnie that he should go home, pack a night bag and return to the hospital. Back at home, Vinnie is in shock – he can’t believe that someone as fit as he could be hit with cancer. Vinnie swears Sally to secrecy about the surgery – not even Jesse is to know. Sally tells Vinnie she’ll be there for him whatever happens. At the hospital, James and the specialist, Dr Jacobs, run through the operation procedures and they explain that, once they remove the testicle, there is an excellent chance of recovery. He again asks Sally not to tell anyone – especially Jesse.

Chloe confesses to Irene that things have been difficult with James since the Honeymoon. Chloe tells Irene that she wonders if she’s just some kind of trophy in James’s ‘competition’ with Lachie.
