Extended Summary
Shauna’s not happy with her life. Gypsy mentioned to Shauna that Flynn was staying late at the DIC. Shauna then disappeared soon afterwards and didn’t come back until later. Gypsy said she found one of the dinner crockery at the DIC and asked Shauna about it. She got all defensive and told Gypsy her life isn’t as perfect as it seems. It seems Shauna is not doing anything to fight her attraction to Flynn.
Gypsy’s delivering lots of bad news. She told Vinnie and Leah her father called and told them he wants the house evaluated. Travis and Rebecca said they’re staying overseas and want to sell the place. Vinnie and Leah are worried because they know they can’t afford to buy the house. Now Alf’s worried he’s going to be kicked out of the Diner flat because Leah’s partnership means she’s entitled to it.
Shelley and Flynn have made up and are learning to work together. At first she thought she’d made a mistake hiring Flynn. Rhys said she shouldn’t be so hard on herself, considering she’s used to handling cases, not drop-in centres. Anyway, she was going to have a go at Flynn for letting so many non-needy kids hang around, but after a needy child opened up to a non-needy child, she realised she could use some of Flynn’s ‘expertise’.
Irene’s in shock over Hayley and Aidan, especially over the age difference. Shauna’s worried Aidan’s moving too fast. She’s also concerned Hayley isn’t really over Noah. Both of them say otherwise. Lets hope Noah doesn’t find out. He’s been so close to the edge, something like this is bound to push him over.
