John is forced to cut the situation short and gets rid of a confused Gina. He goes to Jill only to find her passed out drunk.
Romeo is embarrassed when he learns that Jill had a go at Miles. He turns to Irene for advice, who tells him that Jill will need to hit rock bottom before she makes any changes. The next day a hungover Jill arrives at the house, looking for Romeo, but only finds Irene and Miles. They try to be gentle but Jill’s denial of her problems gets to Irene, who unloads on her and tells her what she’s doing to herself and to Romeo isn’t fair.
