As Toadie leaves, Sky, Bree & Boyd arrive back from the hospital but Boyd decides one confrontation with Janelle is enough and goes. Sky seems quiet as Bree explains how Caleb seems a nice guy and they agree Stingray did a great thing. Harold takes pleasure in showing Sky the photos of Kerry as he’s sure she’ll hate them. Only Sky thinks they are so kitsch that she likes them and thinks Kerry has a great chance of winning.
