Extended Summary

Bianca gets a package from Italy, but everyone is surprised when she says she doesn’t want it and asks for it to be thrown away. John, Xavier and April decide to open the package and eat the chocolates that are inside. Bianca discovers them and is furious – she said to throw the package out, not open it. Everyone is apologetic, they believed she didn’t care what they did with it. Later, Bianca hears John telling Alf the story including a jibe about European women being too temperamental. Bianca snaps and berates John, before telling Gina she can do better than him. When another disagreement ensues between the two, April warns her sister to be respectful of John while they are living in Gina’s house. Bianca says she’ll try but another argument erupts and Gina’s had enough – she asks the girls to move out.

Despite Miles’ comfort, Leah is still feeling bad about Elijah leaving. Colleen thinks she should throw herself into motherhood, it’s the only cure for a broken heart, but Leah doesn’t have anything to give right now, she’s a shell of her former self. Irene wonders whether Leah is finding the break up so hard, because deep down she knows she made the wrong decision ending things with Elijah? Leah denies this, but later begins typing a text message to Elijah saying she’s made a mistake. Her emotions get the better of her and she deletes the message – was Irene’s suspicion right?

Dex has taken a liking to Marilyn and invites himself on a dinner date with her and Sid at Angelo’s. Sid is not pleased, but not wanting to make Dex feel unwanted, is forced to agree to him coming. Dex spends the night making jibe’s about Sid – making himself sound like the younger, more desirable member of the Walker family. Sid knows Dex is up to something – but he’s not sure what. He questions Dex but he refuses to give him an answer.
