Steve can't believe Miranda is questioning his account of what happened that night. Jim was too off his head to know a thing. Once he's gone, Miranda tells Riley that they should leave it to Jim and Steve to sort out and they shouldn't interfere.

Miranda gone, Nicola comes in and eats an apple, standing very close to Riley. She says he's been ignoring her all day but Riley says he's not ignoring her now. Too bad - no one gets away with ignoring her. She says goodnight and slinks off, leaving Riley to sigh.

The next morning and Steve is getting packed up for the trip as Miranda coaxes him top talk to Jim. Steve refuses and Riley joins them. Jim appears, also dressed and ready and Steve discovers that Riley decided to ask him along. Jim says he's not here to cause trouble - he simply wants to sort things out. Riley and Jim go to get him a rod and Steve isn't pleased with being ambushed again. Miranda says they're trying to help him and he seems to be doing the opposite of that. Steve just wants Jim to leave. Miranda asks him what he has to lose - it could help or change nothing.

MIRANDA: Or do you want your anger to eat away at you for the rest of your life?
