Lassiters Complex
Sitting outside Harold's, Amy is treating Ned to brekkie as way of making up for her behaviour yesterday, even though she denies that is the reason! The pair spot Felicity and Levi chatting outside Lassiters and speculate what their conversation is about.
Number 32
When he calls rounds with coffee for everyone, David asks Nicolette to let Kyle have a cuddle of Isla before she is put to bed. After he takes the bairn in his arms, Jane describes him as "a natural" and listens on as the boys describe how great being a father is (and in the background Nicolette pipes up that being a mum is great too). After pondering for a few seconds on what the boys said, Kyle says to them that they "are really lucky."
Lassiters Complex
Ned and Amy continue to stare across the complex to where Levi and Felicity are still chatting. Amy is confused why it's even happening, given Felicity said she was "done with Levi." Ned asks how she's feeling about them being back and Amy admits to not "being over the moon about it." Amy then adds she encouraged Felicity to sort things out with Levi... but more because it means she is back "in the good books" with Levi!
Given they've been started at continuously by Ned and Amy, its no surprise that Levi eventually comes over to say something to them. "We're just sitting here having breakfast," is Ned's nonchalant way of explaining things... ignoring the fact they, or at least Amy, was staring! As if feeling the need to also explain things, Levi tells them about Felicity calling and wanting to give him a second chance. Amy is thrilled at the news, as it resolves her of the blame in messing things up for them.
Harold's café
Chloe is seriously impressed at Terese doing what she said she'd do - finish off not just her own presentation but Paul's too. Given how hard she's worked, Chloe thinks Terese needs a breather, and plans for them both to go and see Isla and have some cuddle time.
The newly arrived Jane consents to the pair dropping round to #32 before admitting to Chloe that she is finding it difficult being the 'referee.' Chloe has an idea though that might help...
Number 32
And it looks like Chloe's suggestion was getting family photos taken. "It's about creating memories," Jane explains trying to sell it to her housemates, but they aren't exactly enthralled. However, a combination of guilting them, and the fact she's already booked it, has everyone agreeing to her suggestion.
The Flamingo Bar
Ned is helping Amy set up the outside furniture ahead of opening and there is only one topic of conversation whilst they do that - Felicity and Levi! When Amy suggests that she should be friends with Felicity, Ned suggests that she accidentally gate crashes their date (on the pretence of getting something from The Waterhole) and say "hi" to show that she accepts them being together. "I am," she quickly replies, then after thinking for a few seconds, agrees to do what Ned suggested.
The Waterhole
After talking about more mundane things (Levi's keto diet), Felicity and Levi eventually get round to talking instead about them and his polyamorous relationship. "I'm still getting my head around it," Felicity admits and that it seems "really complicated" too along with "a lot of effort."
LEVI: But you're still cool.
FELICITY: Maybe I think you're worth the effort? I really like you Levi, I wouldn't be here if I didn't.
Amy unfortunately picked the wrong time to interrupt, on her pretence visit to the bar. Felicity seems very shocked when Amy suggested that they catch up, to get to know each other better. She turns the offer down, citing that she wants to get to know Levi better first and Amy can't get away from them quick enough!
Number 32
Isla doesn't seem too happy at getting cuddles from Terese ahead of the photoshoot. The boys are thrilled at Chloe dropping off a scarf that belonged to Fay... but she is unamused to hear that the bairn is going to be placed in a wheelbarrow (courtesy of Kyle). Chloe comment on how she can see Kyle pushing his kids around in wheelbarrow... which quickly hastens the departure of him from the house!
Chloe asks the boys how they are feeling about the photoshoot and they admit to participating after being "guilt tripped" into it by Jane. They also reveal Nicolette wasn't keen either, especially given neither 'side' can tolerate the other being in the same room together.
AARON: I cannot wait for this to be over.
The Flamingo Bar
Amy is in a foul mood when she returns to her own bar and tells Ned about how "weird" and "awkward" it was and thus feels like "an idiot." She also says that the look on Levi's face showed he wasn't happy with her dropping in either.
AMY: Now I just look like the crazy stalker.
Amy wishes they could go back to how things were, although Ned fears they can't be.
AMY: Its certainly not heading in the right direction that's for sure, no matter what I try.
NED: So what are you going to do?
AMY: I don't know. I mean I don't want to break up, I know that, but it might not be up to me.
Number 32
Given the tension between the parents, the photoshoot isn't going well despite the helpful instructions from both Jane and Betty the photographer. Betty tactfully suggests rescheduling, but Jane is adamant it goes ahead and thankfully its Isla who literally breaks the ice... by breaking wind (or filling her nappy!) which allows Betty to get some snaps taken.
The Flamingo Bar
Levi visits Amy to chat about interrupting his date with Felicity. He gets why she did that and therefore is not mad like she thought he would be.
AMY: I was just trying to do the right thing.
He gets that but would rather she forewarn them in future rather than gate crashing.
Number 32
Finally, it's a happy family occasion as Betty snaps away. The boys though notice that Isla hasn't had an individual one with her mum and they insist on that happening, even if Nicolette is somewhat reluctant for that to happen.
The Waterhole
Terese is unwilling to allow Chloe to help finalise the presentations she is working on. Even when Chloe explains why (that Terese will relapse and want alcohol), it fails to get Terese to let her help, adamant she has it "under control."
Someone who is full of praise for Chloe though is Jane, who comes into the bar (swapping places with Terese) and says how well the photoshoot went... eventually! Jane hopes that "things can move forward from here" following how great [eventually] the photoshoot was.
Lassiters car park
Kyle is sitting in his Ute, staring into space, when he's surprised by Levi. From the look on Kyle's face, Levi asks if he is okay - while Kyle replies back he is "all good" and was just "thinking" before quickly starting the engine and hurriedly departing, leaving a bemused Levi behind.
Harold's café
Ned thanks Felicity for coming to meet him. She asks if he knew Amy was going to gate crash her date with Levi and Ned admits that it was his idea. Literally rolling her eyes, she tells him about how awkward her visit was, although Ned reports that Levi was happy because he saw Amy was making an effort.
FELICITY: Okay, so your plan to break them up's not really working out!
NED: Look, I really like Amy and I know you like Levi, I didn't want to go down this paths, it's just the only option I've got.
Felicity doesn't like lying, as well as it not being a good start to a relationship either. Ned just wants her to get to know Levi and to see what happens, thinking the fact she's talking to him, means that there is "a spark" between her and Levi.
FELICITY: No.
NED: If you got it wrong, you can always walk away.
FELICITY: And if Amy gets hurt?
NED: That can't be avoided whether we do this or not.
The 82
Levi drops by to get from Kyle what is up and makes it clear he isn't leaving until Kyle starts talking! Almost nonchalantly, Kyle opens up to Levi.
KYLE: I've just had some bad news about my health.
LEVI: Okay.
KYLE: I have testicular cancer. Its spread to my lymph nodes, so I have to get chemo and have an operation to remove one of my balls.
Levi looks stunned to hear the news and after a few seconds, replies that he is "sorry" to hear the news. He asks if anyone else knows (just Roxy and Toadie) and says others will know he is ill when he undergoes the chemo.
KYLE: I'm not going to keep it a secret forever. I just need a few more days.
Levi gets that and thanks his cousin for telling him... and then the pair hug one another.
The tension between the cousins lifts totally when Levi asks what happens to the removed ball... and if Kyle gets to keep it "like a souvenir or something?" Controlling the laughter, Kyle isn't sure what happens to it, but hopes he can keep it.
KYLE: I mean I've been through a lot with the boys. Hey, break ups are hard.
Cue more laughter from the cousins!
Number 32
Having put Isla down to sleep, Nicolette returns to the kitchen and thanks the boys for pushing her to get a solo photo with the bairn. "You are a mum, it was important," David explains, which Nicolette gets but hadn't realised "you felt that way."
The trio agree things have been "intense lately" and they all "want what's best for Isla," helped somewhat by Nicolette accepting that fact in the aftermath of the photoshoot.
AARON: Nic, you know we love Isla.
DAVID: We love being her dads.
"I know," she replies back to them before deciding to go watch some television while the boys put some of the toys taken out for the photoshoot away.
Earlier on in the episode, given the number of toys Isla got, nobody could remember who gave her what. One teddy seemed to stand out more than the others, and Aaron leaves it behind in the kitchen while they headed out with the other stuff.
The camera starts to focus in on the teddy and we see why - its got a built in camera in it and can see Nicolette watching the television!
