Extended Summary

Dex is continuing to harass Sid about his relationship with Marilyn – something Sid doesn’t quite understand, but puts it down to Dex’s strangeness. Dex pops over to see Marilyn, inviting himself for lunch, as he has questions for her. He unloads a stack of personal questions on her, which throws her, but he says he only wants to make sure his Dad is dating the right person. When Sid finds out what Dex has been up to, he thinks it’s very strange and asks Dex about it. But Dex assures him it’s nothing sinister – he’s just looking out for his Dad.

Romeo and Indi are hanging out together more often, and when he sees her on the beach after a surf, he’s taken by her beauty. He shakes it off, but when asked by Marilyn if he’s going out with Indi, Romeo is quick to say no. He doesn’t have time for a relationship, and after Annie, he’s not sure he’s ready for one. He avoids Indi all day, not sure how he’s feeling or how he’s meant to act, reminding her he isn’t ready for a relationship, but his constant stating of that fact makes her mad. He finds her at work to apologise, but she’s still mad at him, and in the middle of a rant, he kisses her, taking her completely by surprise.

Leah has a cold – she puts it down to the workload she’s suffered under lately, but Miles thinks differently. He thinks it’s about Elijah being away, but Leah assures him that’s nonsense. Later, Miles finds her collapsed on the floor, having succumbed to her illness.

Leah can’t help but worry she’s going to break down like she did after Australia Day, and she the last thing she wants is to put VJ through that again. VJ wants to help Leah, but Miles says he just has to wait – there’s not much he can do right now.
