Is Melody ready to go back to school already?
Ruby finds comfort in an online chat room.

Ross and Morag, Ruby and Charlie

Ross and Alf go fishing together, which worries Charlie in case something happens to him. Morag doesn't want to treat him as a child. Charlie wants to draw up a roster for people to look after him, which Morag thinks is ridiculous.

Later, Ross gets a cut while cleaning a fish and goes to hospital to get it checked out. He tells Charlie off for treating him like a baby, he's sick of it.

Roman tells Charlie that he's concerned about Ruby dealing with her dad's Altzheimer's. So Charlie goes and talks to Ruby, who is upset at this happening so quickly after losing their mum.

Meanwhile, Ruby looks for support at Yabb.com - an online chat room.

Charlie snaps at Roman for offering his opinions about Ross but later sincerely apologises to everyone.

Melody

Christine (Melody's mum) meets with Bartlett to ask him to allow Melody to come back to school, convinced she's ready. So Melody returns to school.

Geoff tries to be nice and supportive to Melody and wonders what's up with her as she seems quite tired and different.

At home, Melody is fed dinner in her room but puts all the food in a garbage bag in her wardrobe!
