Notes: After being forced to leave suddenly in 2003, having been diagnosed with cancer, Delta Goodrem returned to the show in May 2004 to film a handful of scenes in order to give Nina a proper farewell. Because of her tight schedule, she only returned for a couple of days, and filmed enough scenes for Nina’s storyline to be spread over 5 episodes. Delta's Born To Try was played over the opening scene.
