Storyline

Darryl's towel is 'playfully' snapped away just when Leah enters the bathroom. When he repeats his refusal to sell the restaurant to Geoffrey King, a 'non-threat' is uttered concerning fires in kitchen. Romeo finds Peter, who paid him for information concerning the resort project, was a spy for Harvey, as a campaign move against Alf. Romeo feels he was in debt to Mink, wining Indy move out over the savings his sister stole. After a short attempt to play soccer with VJ, Miles, who can't stomach the idea Elijah may get Leah, decides to move to a school in Thailand. Instead of minding Bianca's bitching, Liam proposes to her.

"I just want us all to be friends again"

Some intriguing set-up here.Charlie and Brax's screen time is surprisingly small, although Brax's tense meeting with Geoffrey gives us one suspect for their observer.It's a nice touch to have Leah walk in on them and oddly Brax is actually likable in his scene with Liam, showing what the character could have been with better plotting.

Romeo loses even more viewer sympathy as he blatantly uses Indigo to get the information for Peter, a plan which blows up in his face as he finds out Peter is working for Harvey.The scenes between him and Indi that follow are nicely tense and seemingly see Indi making her exit for the season.

With finale approaching, characters begin making moves forwards and Liam and Bianca's engagement is a nice surprise.Bianca is in full on drama queen mode surprisingly quickly given her showdown with Liam when she was last seen and the fact they're apparently living apart but she and Liam do complement each other well.

Oddly, it's the Leah/Miles/Elijah storyline that fails to ignite, mainly because it seems to be trying to portray Elijah as the bad guy (certainly that's how Miles sees him)when he hasn't really done anything to deserve it.Still, it results in Miles making a very surprising decision that will certainly have repercussions.
