It's nice that the show remembers to address the issues Romeo and Indigo are facing rather than just glossing over them.There's a palpable sense of disappointment surrounding Romeo in this episode as he's forced to rely on his wife's family to provide for them, which is nicely played by Luke Mitchell.The family also have to do with Sid's announcement that he has another daughter and it's good that Indi's expected distress at the news is quickly passed over in favour of the family dealing with it.
Aside from some light-hearted stuff involving Alf, Marilyn and Elijah, the other main focus is on Bianca's counselling session.Despite the episode's annoying refusal to use the word rape(if you made a drinking game out of the number of times they say "attack", you'd get paralytic on a two minute scene), Lisa Gormley puts in a decent performance as Bianca insists everything is fine before being forced to admit her life was problematic to start with.Her decision on how to deal with it is understandable but probably won't be to everyone's tastes.And an innocuous scene of Liam noting Irene looks unwell nicely sets up another storyline.
