After Holly pointed out they clearly have feelings for one another, Haz and Mackenzie continue to edge around the topic, constantly finding reasons to delay the inevitable. When Holly later encounters Haz and he apologises, she urges him to sort himself out before he ends up hurting someone else with what is clearly an issue with commitment.
Having just bared their souls in counselling, Melanie and Toadie emerge feeling bewildered and emotionally raw. Terese is desperate to know what occurred but Toadie remains reticent, fuelling Terese’s insecurities. 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. Later cornered by Terese, Toadie admits he needs time to process his feelings, and when he’s ready to share them, he will.
Melanie returns home from her counselling session, equally at sea. Karl, who’s just been counselling Holly after her break-up with Haz, 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.
