Charlie and Angelo are having dinner at the Diner and talking about recent events when May turns up. Ruby arrives a few minutes later and tells them all what went down at the film festival. When she asks Charlie whether she can charge Trey with anything, Charlie takes the opportunity to leave May and Angelo to it. Charlie is aware she is becoming jealous of May and Angelo’s relationship. The next day May tells her that she knows everything that happened last time Angelo was in the bay, that she’s OK with it, and she thinks its nice that Charlie and him can still be friends. Charlie assumes she is talking about Jack’s death, and so puts her foot in it when May had really been talking about Charlie and Angelo’s past relationship. Angelo has a go at Charlie for this and accuses her of stabbing him in the back, given the fact that Angelo received a call today to say he was being permanently stationed in Summer Bay. Angelo goes to see May and gives his side of the story – he was fined for perverting the course of an investigation, but all the other charges were dropped. To his surprise, despite May’s initial reservations, she is supportive and forgiving. Charlie sees them embracing and she realises that she may have driven Angelo into May’s arms for good.
