Lyn and Valda are saying comforting words to Sindi, but she didn't think she'd be in that sort of relationship until she was 89. They again offer comforting words but Sindi says she is a coward. They say she isn't and that she must learn to ask for help. Sindi tells Lyn she is wonderful and a great mum but the look on Lyn's face suggests she doesn't think that, well not at the moment anyway.

Lyn asks how he knew about Charlie & Valda's marriage - Charlie phoned to let him know and it was a complete shock. Valda says Charlie never forgot him, but Michael doesn't seem to believe it. Lyn tells him that Charlie & Valda were really happy together and that is what mattered. Michael is jealous that he was dropped in favour of Lyn as soon as Charlie found out about her. Lyn tells him to get over it and move on but Michael isn't happy at that comment either and threatens to leave.

Michael is saying he inherited his stubborn streak from Charlie. Lyn agrees and says so did Steph, especially fighting her cancer. Michael is reluctant to believe her good qualities after what she did. Lyn tries to plead Steph's case and Michael accuses her of changing her tune now Valda is here.

Before he leaves he tells her he'll see her and 'her murdering daughter' in court.
