Geoff's sincere interest why Nicole got drunk again meets only rude abuse and wining "My whole life is such a mess". Really miserable waits at home, where Aden and Belle have returned after a shortened (booking-probelm) honeymoon and finally reveal her grim survival prospects. To Jai's dismay, Annie runs to Dex for comfort, while Irene vents her anger on startled Leah, only Geoff bravely comforts Belle, who now feels guilty. After sending Dexter and liar Indigo to school, where Bartlett grimly lays down the law "buckle up and catch up", dad Sid Walker starts working at the hospital as pregnant Rachel's replacement and by his medical status 'magically' reverses Colleen's prejudice.
