Alf suggests Roo meet Hugo’s family, which she thinks is a great idea, and presses her to tell them about Martha’s phone call, but she’s not so sure. Colleen interrupts and asks what’s going on but the pair manage to avoid telling her. Later, Roo questions whether or not Alf can forgive her, and he presses the fact she has nothing to worry about – it’s just that Colleen has gotten to her. She decides to make a formal apology for the past which Alf is incredibly grateful for. Alf has a quiet word with Colleen telling her to say nice things to Roo or nothing at all – she seems very sensitive about that part of her life at the moment.

Marilyn agrees to moving in with Sid, though she wants to make sure they do it properly. Sid is concerned about the effect it’ll have on the children and Marilyn is very content with that fact.

He finally reveals to Marilyn that Mitzy told him that her end date still stands – if they’re moving in together, they can’t have any secrets. Marilyn is shocked by this news and needs some time to process all this, so goes for a walk. On her return, Marilyn tells Sid that she doesn’t want to move in with Sid until he has had time to tell the children – not only about them moving in together, but also about her end date. She doesn’t want secrets.

When Liam gets his job back from Gina (who gives in despite being angry at the way he left), Xavier see this as an opportunity for John and Gina to reconcile. He talks to John to try and get him to sort things out with Gina – she’s just given Liam his job back, so she must be in the mood for giving second chances.

Little does Xavier know John and Gina have already reconciled and are having a saucy affair behind closed doors! Gina wants some time for them to get used to each other again before letting anyone else in on their secret.
