Extended Summary

It is the day of Angelo’s restaurant working bee, and the bay have turned out in force to help him prepare his restaurant for an on time opening. However, Angelo is still feeling the strain and admits to Charlie that one of the main reasons he needs to open on time is because running a restaurant is the family business. He doesn’t want to taint the Rosetta name by opening a restaurant that doesn’t succeed. He receives from his brother, who wants to help out with the opening. Alf tells Angelo he’s guaranteed a full house on the opening night, which makes Angelo nervous. Later, Charlie suggests to Angelo that they organise a ‘trial run’ opening night to quell his nerves – a professionally run evening, but for invited friends. He thinks it’s a great idea, and thrilled by the fact that, at the end of the bee, everything is ready.

Charlie has picked up on Ruby’s distraction during the working bee, but ruby tells her it’s down to nerves about her and Liam’s upcoming gig. Ruby’s mood isn’t helped by seeing Xavier and April happy together. The pressure is building with their upcoming gig and Ruby finds herself snapping at Liam, innocently. Liam asks Bianca about the guy that broke her heart, putting two and two together after seeing her throw a ring in the sea – but Bianca doesn’t want to talk about it. With Liam and Bianca seemingly flirting, Ruby cracks and excuses herself. Once she’s alone she succumbs to a flood of tears. Nicole approaches and Ruby admits that she loves Liam and decides to talk to him about it – but when she tries to, instead she kisses him, and he swiftly pushes her away.

After Dexter slips up and makes a remark about Indi having a crush, Romeo clarifies to her that they are just friends. Indi covers her true feelings and wholeheartedly agrees with him. He admits that the reason he doesn’t want to date anyone at the moment is because he’s still getting over the hurt of Annie and not sure he can put himself out there again. After Indi’s own romantic dilemma, she too says she’s not ready to play the dating game. During a game of twenty questions, Romeo asks Indi if she likes him more than a friend. Indi puts the same question back to him – neither of them answer but both share a hopeful smile.

Marilyn is thrilled when Sid turns up, and the pair affirm their feelings for one another. Dex continues to hide his crush on Marilyn but manages to still flirt with her at the same time – Sid just puts it down to Dex being weird, as usual. Sid asks Marilyn how Nicole is coping with the pair of them dating, and Marilyn says she seems fine with it. Sid reveals his concerns over Penn to Marilyn, saying that Penn lied about Sid having feelings for Nicole – but their conversation is cut short when Nicole and Penn turn up to the bee. Marilyn insists that Sid needs to talk to Nicole about it. Nicole is feeling awkward in Sid’s presence, and tells Penn that what he told her about Sid doesn’t make sense. Sid finally does approach Penn, asking why he told the lie about the crush. Penn lies once again, admitting he thinks Nicole has a crush on Sid too, and by bringing it out in the open it forces the truth to come to light.
