Extended Summary
Indi and Dex explain to Sid the reasons why they didn’t want to join their mother – mainly being that she’s seeing Indi’s ex-boyfriend. Sid is taken aback, but he’s glad his kids want to come with him – though Indi is far keener than Dex. Sid agrees and they head to the Bay. The fact that their car breaks down and they need a tow truck could be a sign of things to come if they actually get to the bay.
Nicole and Penn are kissing on the couch when Miles comes down. After Penn leaves, Miles is worried for Nicole, but she brushes his concern aside. But when Penn is caught at school with Nicole, Miles snaps and berates them, leaving Nicole horrified and embarrassed. She apologises to Penn, and tells Miles she understands his concern, but she’s okay. He apologises and tells her just to go into the relationship with her eyes open. Nicole is completely thrown later when Sid walks into the Surf Club. She doesn’t know what to do.
Colleen has written a letter to the paper criticising Marilyn’s fortune telling business and Marilyn is hurt by it. She confronts Colleen but she is unrepentant – she firmly believes what she’s saying. Miles is hurt for Marilyn, he tries to talk Colleen around, but she isn’t interested in listening. Worked up, he lets it slip that Marilyn is dying, which stops Colleen cold. Upset, she goes to see Marilyn and apologises, but when Marilyn finds out why, she is angry with Miles. He had no right to do what he did and she’s incredibly hurt.
