Extended Summary
John tells Xavier he won’t ask for Gina’s hand in marriage until he’s got Xavier’s blessing. Xavier is confused and Gina smells a rat when she catches the two talking secretively. John tells Alf of his plan and he’s surprised John wants Xavier’s blessing – he’s not John’s biggest fan. John explains that’s the problem. He can’t take any stress at the moment, he doesn’t want another heart attack so if Xavier doesn’t agree, there’ll be no proposal, it would just be too hard. Unsure of what to do, Xavier consults April who asks if Xavier knew Gina loved John would he give them his blessing – Xavier says he would, but how does he know if she does? April comes up with a list of questions she thinks will give Xavier his answer. Manned with this information, Xavier is preparing to ask Gina the questions when he suddenly senses the depth of her love for John. Will this be enough for him to give them his blessing?
Mitzy begs Marilyn to reconcile with Sid. It doesn’t matter about his accusations, what matters is Marilyn is happy in her relationship. But Marilyn isn’t – not if Sid is going to be so cruel and sceptical. She can’t forgive that kind of behaviour. Meanwhile, Sid has confided his relationship woes in Nicole, who thinks he should be more understanding of Marilyn and her belief system – especially given Mitzy’s condition. But all Sid’s instincts are telling him to get Mitzy out of Marilyn’s life. Nic thinks if he does that, he can kiss goodbye to Marilyn. Sid asks Marilyn for a chance to explain his feelings and she agrees, on the condition he come and have dinner with her and Mitzy. Sid agrees, but things quickly get heated and an argument ensues. Marilyn tells Sid that if he’s asking her to choose between him and Mitzy then she chooses Mitzy. Meanwhile, Mitzy has been doing some more predicting. She tells a downbeat Ruby that she’ll find love within the next two months. Ruby is overjoyed and tells Nicole who plays along with the fun of it all.
Angelo is on his way back to the Bay when he stumbles upon a broken down Kombi on the side of the road. He offers the driver, Shandi, the very hippy-ish woman a lift to town. She’s very lively and flirtatious and Angelo gets quite flustered by her teasing. When she suggests they pull over and take a nap on the back seat, Angelo’s not sure what she’s implying. Is this woman coming onto him?
