Phill isn't happy that Fiz won't give Mimi the benefit of the doubt.On the Street, a woman steps out of a car and introduces herself as Camilla - Phill's ex-wife.

As they talk, Elaine seems smitten and hangs on his every word as he tells her about Italy. As Stephen declares to his relatives that he's moving in with Audrey to care for her - leaving nephew David horrified - it looks like we'll be seeing much more of Stephen. Is romance on the cards too?

Thrilled, Aaron tells his girlfriend Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) that he'll now be able to afford all the holiday excursions she desires, meaning they can avoid the beach. Summer is delighted and takes her insulin after ditching her previous doses. Will her sensible decision last?
