Adam and Rachel discover their house is up for auction and financially out of their reach. Karen is shocked to learn that David is having a relationship with his lawyer. A tragedy has a devastating effect on all of the characters.

Adam has difficulty coming to terms with Rachel's death. Jenny arrives unexpectedly to Rachel's funeral with a surprise of her own. David has to decide between the two women in his life - Karen or Robyn?

Whilst Adam travelled the world on business, his 15 year-old-son, Matthew chose boarding school and, under the guardianship of Godmother, Karen, has turned into a well-adjusted young man, or so it seems. It breaks Karen's heart to see what Rachel is missing out on, and unlike Adam, she's not fooled by Matt's bravado. What this kid needs more than anything right now is his Dad.Pete and Jenny are down on their uppers. With two teenagers to support, Pete's juggling two jobs; cabbie and home-help, and Jenny's work in Events Management at a grand hotel is hardly bringing home the bacon. Fast approaching 50, mortgaged up to the eyeballs, Pete is understandably miserable but is pleased to see his best mate again.
