Marilyn and Roo discuss what Alf and Martha are doing before Maggie confides in Roo about Ben moving out. Ben gives a more positive spin on it to John, but both are unsure how to treat each other when they meet. Ari tries to build bridges with Nikau but he is bowled over when Tane presents him with the new house. Ari tries to get Gemma to stay away from Tane, but with Ari failing to provide an alternative and Nikau insisting on moving in, Gemma decides to move in as well, and Ari follows. Marilyn is left on her own and invites John in for a drink as Gemma looks around the neighbourhood.
