Extended Summary

In the hospital, Sid is testing Nicole for any possible illnesses she may have caught as a result of her needle stick injury. Nicole also asks to be tested for HIV. Penn is by Nicole’s side every step of the way at the hospital and she’s grateful for how reliable he is. Penn soon apologises to Sid for the comments he made about Nicole’s crush, but Sid is still distrusting of him. Nicole’s tests soon come back negative and she’s clear of any illnesses. Sid tells her that HIV results will take months to come back. Nicole is devastated to realise she has to wait that long not knowing if she’s sick. As we flashback to the beach, we soon realise that all is not what it seems with Penn and he is the very reason Nicole is in hospital.

Xavier asks April if it’s strange living with his ex girlfriend, Ruby. But April reassures him that everything’s fine. But everything’s not fine from where Ruby’s sitting. Ruby talks to Leah and asks whether it would be alright for her to move back to live with Leah and Charlie. Leah says that is fine but she should talk to Charlie first. When Ruby decides against eating a meal Bianca has cooked for the household, April follows her to the Diner wondering to Ruby if she hates living with April and Bianca. Bianca is the problem but Ruby denies it. Ruby and April both agree to be friends.

With Dex on a picnic with Marilyn, Sid leaves yet another message for Dex to call him. Curious that Sid still hasn’t met up with them, Marilyn soon decides that her and Dex should head to the hospital to see where Sid is. Marilyn’s suspicions that Dex has a crush on her are confirmed when she checks her messages from Sid – there was no mention of Sid meeting them at the picnic and Marilyn soon realises that Dex set it all up so they could be alone.
