She is concerned that Jessie may leave Marlon and go back to Al. Cain offers to let Kyle see Amy on a regular basis. Faith pushes Zak to see that he needn't feel guilty for laughing with her.

Marlon offers to cook a family tea for Jessie, Ellis and Billy but Billy and Ellis take Al up on his offer to take them for a celebratory drink. Samson and Lydia make up and he encourages her and Sam to set a date for the wedding. Al insists to Jessie he wants to make everything up to Ellis and helping him set up his first business will be a way to do that. In private, he makes a phone call to someone saying he'll be sticking around for a while.
