Episode 5053

Extended Summary

Miles has started taking the medication that Michael prescribed for him and is dismayed when it seems to cause him to lose the ability to see Rabbit. While he knew that was a potential outcome, if he really was delusional, Miles misses Rabbit terribly. He talks to Elijah, venting his frustrations about Elijah being able to believe in god and angels, yet he’s been forced to give up Rabbit. Elijah tries to comfort him with the thought that maybe Rabbit’s work was done, and that’s why she’s no longer here. Alf and Marilyn grow increasingly concerned for Miles as he continues searching for Rabbit and it seems to them that Miles has become even more unstable on the medication. After a long day, Miles finds himself on the beach. He sees something in the water and drags out some bunny ears. As he turns them over tenderly in his hands he hears a familiar voice – it’s Rabbit and Miles hugs her tightly – overjoyed by the reunion.

In the hope of giving Leah and VJ some closure after Vinnie’s death, Elijah has arranged a road trip so that they can visit his grave.

It’s a long drive and VJ’s impatience grows, but Elijah has come prepared and has some games to keep him occupied. Leah is touched by his thoughtfulness and, as they break the journey and camp for the night, it becomes clear that if nothing else, this trip is going to bring all three closer together.

The ante is further elevated when Angelo and Charlie ask the brothers to join them on another search of the bush around where Justin’s car crashed. Aden and Justin are sick with worry as they buried Larry in the same region. Is the game almost up?
