Chloe, Bonnie and Josh decide to try counselling to help with the problems in their relationships which leads to an unexpected proposal from Josh. One of Mel's former lovers returns to make a claim on her, while Lauren's ex-husband Phil returns to sell the family home.

News that 232 is on the market inspires Lauren to lobby the girls to form a syndicate and as Nick prepares to set up house with Mel, an unexpected visitor from his past changes the course of Nick's life.
