Ruby is her own worst enemy here, even if she is slightly hard done by. She's not as much to blame as some people made out but she's more to blame than she claims.She turns down a chance to tell her side of the story to Indigo and lashes out at Nicole for trying to help her.Aside from labouring the point about Casey a bit too much, Charlie actually does a pretty good job of supporting her.It's not a very good episode for Xavier, whose anti-Ruby/pro-Romeo attitude is a bit hard to justify and whose cruel behaviour towards her in the Diner is disgraceful.Roo is nicely even-handed and Dexter, pleasingly, is actually civil and even sympathetic towards Ruby.
It's hard to know what to make of Romeo's apology to Indigo, which as screened doesn't seem to have an ounce of sincerity in it.Luke Mitchell's wooden performance doesn't help but any young actor would have difficulty with the appalling dialogue which doesn't sound like anything an eighteen-year-old would say.
Elijah's storyline is largely squeezed out by all this but he gets some nice stuff with Miles, although Leah basically encouraging him to end his marriage feels a bit wrong and Morag is a bit harsh as usual.But there's a nice moment between Nicole and VJ to make up for it.
