Extended Summary

Ruby has trouble adjusting to the idea of living with Bianca, the woman she thinks Liam is interested in. When she sees Liam in the Diner, she immediately leaves, unable to be around him even though she said she wanted to be friends. Liam runs into her on the Pier, and she accuses him of being interested in Bianca. He says he isn’t, but she can’t see it any other way. Bianca sees Liam comforting Ruby on the Pier and confronts him. He’s being stupid and reckless and she feels she has no choice but to inform Gina. He’s thrown, but he can’t talk her out of it.

Gina is angry with John, as the effect that Bianca and Ruby leaving is that Xavier no longer wants to be home. Gina tells John he must mend things with Xavier. John tries to talk to Xavier, but because he blames John for April moving out, Xavier isn’t the slightest bit interested in talking or mending the situation. At a loss of how to fix the problem, John asks what he can do in exchange for Xavier keeping the peace. Enjoying the idea that John would owe him, Xavier promises to cease fire on the condition he’ll call in a favour at a later date. John agrees, but will he live to regret it?

Penn thinks that Nicole is avoiding spending time with him, but she assures him she’s not, and they go for a swim. Nicole confides in Penn that she no longer wants things to be casual between them – she thought that was what she needed after Aden, but she’s realised she was wrong. Worried for her, Marilyn decides the family need to speak to her to sort her out. They try to talk to her, but Nicole isn’t interested – she tells them Penn said Sid was lying. Annoyed, Sid and Miles go to confront him, and Penn denies everything, only frustrating the family even further. Nicole doesn’t believe them when they tell her Penn denied everything and the adults are left at a loss as to what to do next. Miles kicks Penn out of the Caravan Park, and Penn’s reaction is to blame Nicole, giving her a vicious serve on the beach the next morning.
