Extended Summary
Rachel has reluctantly agreed to take Tam into her house. And she quickly learns that looking after an unruly teen is no picnic. Sally offers to help any way she can but Rachel is reluctant, given the anger she still holds towards Sally over the wedding. But when the work pressures mount Rachel feels she has no choice and agrees that Tam can stay at Sally’s house for a while. It seems the perfect solution, but Brad is furious when he hears about it. Overreacting, he attacks Sally, telling her that there’s no way Tam’s staying with her. This is his family problem and he and Rachel will deal with it – in the family. Sally’s shocked and saddened – she still regards him as family. Brad cuts over: “Well I don’t. All of that is finished.” He heads off, leaving Sally gutted.
Drew’s mood is low as he prepares to attend the mediation meeting that will determine the future of his inheritance of more than a million dollars. And he’s no happier when Jazz tries to apologise. Drew points out that he can’t trust her now – she’s probably only apologising to try and get her hands on the money again. The mood between mother and son is tense, and Drew’s sick of the bitterness and beginning to wish his grandmother, Mary, had never left him the money. Morag assures him that the mediation session will be a formality only: once the money is his, he can turn his back on Jazz once and for all.
But nothing is ever simple where Jazz is involved, and Morag is taken aback when Jazz’s solicitor puts a spirited argument for the money to go to Jazz. Morag confidently rebuffs his arguments – until he introduces the director of the nursing home where Mary spent her last year. Turning the case on its head, the director reveals that Mary was suffering dementia when she made the will. To Drew’s astonishment, and Morag’s suspicion, the mediator agrees that this strengthens Jazz’s case to contest the will in court. Morag has no choice but to advise Drew not to fight it, and it seems that Jazz has won the money after all. But when Morag sees Jazz and the nursing home director getting amorous, her suspicions deepen. Has Jazz been pulling an elaborate trick to win back the inheritance?
