No 28 - Lounge: Susan tells Rachel she has to apologise to Zeke, Lolly, and Ringo & Lou.

No 30 - Kitchen: Father Capitola questions Rosie & Frazer further to establish they are ready to be married but Frazer’s claims he didn’t know Rosie liked the idea of living in Rome or not being fussed about having children aren’t good signals. Frazer tells her he knows she wants kids, as she already owns a pair of yellow booties. Rosie tells him they should talk about these things later but Frazer wants to do it now. Rosie warns Frazer he’s acting just like her mother which only angers Frazer more that Lucia has spoken to Rosie about her feelings on kids before they did.

Karl walks in but doesn’t introduce himself and Paul guesses he could be a doctor. It soon becomes apparent Paul doesn’t recognise them and Susan introduces who they really are. Karl & Susan are stunned to hear Elle has told him that they are all good friends and Paul senses they are keeping something back about Elle when he acts if she is as honest as she seems to be devoted to him. Before they can answer, Elle returns with news that Standford is waiting for them and Susan & Karl leave. Elle takes a seat by Paul’s bed and thanks him for being so honest with her about how he feels. Paul tells her he’d feel better then if she called him Paul rather than Dad.
