Andrew gently posits that if Wendy has regrets, they are her own to do something about. Later, Andrew assures Sadie that Wendy’s reaction is more about her own career hang-ups and promises there will be no more pressure. But has he done enough to keep his family together?

Nell offers Terese her support
Haz and Mackenzie continue to edge around the topic of them still having feelings for each other, constantly finding reasons to delay the inevitable conversation. When Holly later encounters Haz and he apologises, she urges him to sort himself out and observes that he has a commitment issue.
Having just bared their souls in counselling, Melanie and Toadie emerge feeling bewildered and emotionally raw.

Things come to a head at the Rodwell’s barbecue when everyone hears Melanie’s distinctive laughter, booming over the next-door fence. Unable to handle it, Toadie flees but does he still have feelings or is it just memories of happier times stirred up?
Later cornered by Terese, Toadie admits that recent events are still a lot to process. Melanie returns home from her counselling session but it doesn’t seem to have helped much. Karl, who’s just been counselling Holly following her recent life issues, offers to do the same for her, but Melanie’s in no mood to talk. Seeing she needs cheering, Karl invites her out into the garden where he has a surprise for her. It’s none other than Elvis, Karl’s horrific pig planter that he’s been hiding under the house from Susan for many years.
Melanie loves Elvis on sight and cheers herself up even more by teasing Karl about her plans for Elvis’s future. While taking Trevor out for a walk, Byron encounters a woman who claims Trevor is her long lost groodle, Bodie, a dearly loved family pet who went missing and was never found. Satisfied the woman’s telling the truth, Byron shares the news with Haz, encouraging him to give the woman a call to discuss the matter.
Haz flatly denies the woman’s claim, even when Byron and Mackenzie present him with more irrefutable evidence. No one is taking his dog. Ever.
