Extended Summary

Sid tells Indi he heard from an unnamed source that Nicole still has feelings for him, but assures her he won’t let history repeat itself. Indi tells Sid that the only time it’s ever been mentioned by Nicole is when she told her she no longer had feelings for him, but she is still shaken. Indi frets and Dex tells her to ask Romeo about it – if anyone would know, he would. Romeo says Nicole told him she was over Sid, besides, she’s with Penn now. Indi offers to buy Romeo a juice for his help in the matter. Whilst walking on the beach, Indi and Romeo share stories about their mothers, with Indi revealing that her mother stole her boyfriend. Indi’s mind is put at ease about Nicole, but in the meantime, Sid has contacted Miles and asked to meet up with him. Miles tells him that his information is categorically wrong, and their discussion is brought to an abrupt end when Dexter interrupts them. Later, Miles questions Romeo about Nicole, who repeats his earlier words to Indi – Miles asks Romeo to keep an eye on Nicole, just incase. Later on, Indi and Dex both reassure Sid that Nicole no longer has feelings for him.

When the Diner is short staffed due to Colleen’s absence, Leah is forced to pull out of a careers talk she was due to give at VJ’s school. VJ is disappointed, but Elijah suggests to Leah that he do the talk instead. Leah thinks it’s a great idea and Elijah thinks it will be good step dad practice. VJ jumps at the offer, but the moment Elijah mentions being VJ’s step dad, he goes cold. Confused by his reaction, they are at a loss as to what’s wrong, and Elijah is convinced that it’s the mention of the word ‘step-dad’. As Elijah goes to apologise to him for using the word, VJ opens up. He tells them he doesn’t want a step dad, he wants a dad and asks a touched Elijah if it’s okay to call him that…Dad. Elijah is thrilled to have this level of acceptance from VJ. Later, Elijah shares his worries with Leah about his abilities to be a parent but she reassures him – he’ll make an excellent Dad.

Marilyn pricks her finger in a old nail sticking out of Mr Oddly. The cut gets worse and she decides to go to the hospital about it. Alf mentions Sid will be working there and Marilyn says that Miles doesn’t seem to like him very much. Alf decides to fill her in on his past in the Bay. At the hospital, an apprehensive Marilyn is soon at ease with Sid and tells him no matter what she’s heard from Miles, she’ll make her own judgement on him, and he’s pleased to meet somebody with an open mind.

After treatment, Marilyn tells Sid she thinks he’s a good Doctor and a nice man, and gives him her business card – she hopes she’ll hear from him in the future. When a disgruntled ex pours coffee over Sid, Marilyn and Sid share a laugh about the situation – the tension between them well and truly broken.
