Khalil bumps into Ruth, who wants to chat with him. He thinks there’s nothing left to say, except to apologise for his rant at Brookfield last week. Ruth in turn apologises for showing him the photos. She feels wretched about it. Khalil assures her the nightmares are easing; he forgives her. She tries to make it up to him by offering him work experience on the farm. Khalil declines, asserting he’ll need to concentrate on his schoolwork this year. Raising animals to make money seems wrong to him. He seeks Ruth’s assurance that they won’t need to speak of the sheep photos incident again. He’s still annoyed with Keira for blabbing about it, and tells her so later. Keira counters she was just worried about him, and she’s sorry. Khalil feels like he’s now under surveillance from his family. He cuts Keira short, heading off to Henry’s for tea.Lily’s surprised to see Harrison at her Argentine tango class. He’s looking for Taekwondo. Lily explains those sessions finished a while ago – why doesn’t her join her for tango? Reluctant Harrison eventually agrees, and whilst he picks up the steps well, he admits it’s all a bit intimate and it’s hurting his brain. They laugh as they throw themselves into the intense moves. Later over tapas Lily declares she was excited to have Harrison as a partner; he’s in great shape. Harrison’s flattered but reckons he’ll stick with Taekwondo. He’s enjoying her company though. She’s a breath of fresh air – funny, clever and beautiful. Lily returns the compliment, and they kiss.
