Romeo is still battling his mum and her alcohol addiction, but Jill is too stubborn to see she has a problem. Marilyn suggests to Jill that she get help and convinces Jill to stay a little while longer. It’ll be a good way to prove she’s not running away. Meanwhile, Romeo gets advice from Irene who explains that if Jill isn’t ready to accept that she needs help, then there’s nothing more anyone can do to help her see that - not even Romeo. Sure enough, Romeo comes home to find his mum passed out on the couch once again.
John approaches Gina, telling her that he and Jill are definitely over and how he wants Gina to make a real commitment to him. What do you have in mind – she asks? John's answer overwhelms her.
Things are tense between Elijah and Leah – both feeling the stress of having Elijah’s parents in the Bay and their talk of bad omens regarding the imminent wedding. Leah feels as though Elijah is being a pushover when it comes to his parents and putting Leah last on his list. Lijuan is also upset at Elijah for not defending Leah. Lijuan soon finds herself at the Diner telling Leah that perhaps she shouldn’t marry Elijah – he’s just a big marshmallow and not husband material – “he’s simply not up to handling what a marriage will throw at him”.
Indi and Dex are downloading about their time at Summer Bay High – wondering if each of them have discovered a love interest yet. It’s clear Indi has the hots for Romeo. She finds herself waiting outside the Diner for Romeo to come. He’s confused as to why she’s there and she gives him her phone number – she knows he’s going through a lot and if he ever needs anything, give her a call. Romeo texts her a ‘thanks’ which lifts Indi’s spirits.

Song tells Leah to not let any bad omens get in the way of her and Elijah’s happiness. Elijah tells Leah that she’s more important to her than anything and they kiss and make up. Lijuan tells Leah that they observe tradition but they’re not slave to any omens. As far as Elijah’s parents are concerned, the wedding is still on. Lijuan and Song leave the bay on a happy note.
Romeo has taken Irene’s advice and decided to back off his mum and let her make her own mistakes. Jill pulls up when Romeo tells her that it’s her life and she can do what she wants with it. Jill talks to Irene who tells her to take the second chance that Romeo’s given her – she might not get another. Jill could lose Romeo forever if she stuffs up again. Indi is thrilled that Romeo is starting to open up to her. She convinces Romeo that people can change and he should keep his chin up. Meanwhile, Irene is giving Jill some AA literature, telling her she might consider going to a meeting. Jill tells Romeo she has decided to go to an AA meeting and he is thrilled, saying he’ll be there for her no matter what she needs. The pressure builds on Jill to be a better person.
