There鈥檚 a surprising development for Lily and Khalil finds himself the centre of attention.

Khalil bumps into Ruth, who wants to chat with him. He thinks there鈥檚 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鈥檒l need to concentrate on his schoolwork this year. Raising animals to make money seems wrong to him. He seeks Ruth鈥檚 assurance that they won鈥檛 need to speak of the sheep photos incident again. He鈥檚 still annoyed with Keira for blabbing about it, and tells her so later. Keira counters she was just worried about him, and she鈥檚 sorry. Khalil feels like he鈥檚 now under surveillance from his family. He cuts Keira short, heading off to Henry鈥檚 for tea.

Lily鈥檚 surprised to see Harrison at her Argentine tango class. He鈥檚 looking for Taekwondo. Lily explains those sessions finished a while ago 鈥� why doesn鈥檛 her join her for tango? Reluctant Harrison eventually agrees, and whilst he picks up the steps well, he admits it鈥檚 all a bit intimate and it鈥檚 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鈥檚 in great shape. Harrison鈥檚 flattered but reckons he鈥檒l stick with Taekwondo. He鈥檚 enjoying her company though. She鈥檚 a breath of fresh air 鈥� funny, clever and beautiful. Lily returns the compliment, and they kiss.
