Extended Summary

Things are going well for Romeo and Indi as they continue to feel more comfortable and at ease with each other, enjoying their time together. But when Indi asks Romeo to teach her how to surf, thoughts of Annie come rushing back and he shuts down any talk of lessons, leaving Indi confused. Indi calls Romeo on his strange behaviour and he confesses he’s still struggling with reminders of Annie. Indi tells him to get over that, he can’t blame Annie for holding him back in life. Later, Romeo spots Indi asking a hunky surfer for lessons. He doesn’t like the thought of that and tells Indi that he will coach her. But why the sudden turn around?

Leah’s depression over the loss of Elijah is at an all time high – and it’s affecting her work. She hasn’t slept in days and as a result she’s burning food and creating extra work for everybody. Irene tells her to go home before she falls down, but in true Leah style she refuses. Eventually Irene forces her to go and Leah goes for a swim to wake herself up. Irene later calls in Miles who takes Leah for a walk and offers some words of advice; there’s nothing he can say to take away the pain she’s feeling over her loss, but he can give her a hug. Leah accepts as she finally gives way to the tears she’s been battling to keep inside.

Rachel and Tony talk again and Rachel reasons that sometimes to get more from life you have to make sacrifices, but Tony thinks he’s the only one being asked to make a sacrifice here. Later, Rachel seeks advice from Leah, telling her that Tony’s adamant about not going to the States. Leah wonders whether Rachel and Harry will go without him? Rachel decides she has two days to convince Tony to come with her, but when the deadline for her decision is brought forward to the end of the day, Rachel has a lot less time up her sleeve. She makes her decision and when she tells Tony about possible jobs for him in Boston, and points out how he’d be closer to Lucas who is also in the states, a shell shocked Tony realises that she’s accepted the offer. She confirms that she has, and she starts in 2 weeks.
