Romeo was considering to seek another career now the Blackland seemed lost, when he hears Alf has canceled the sale because Roo finally realized she was essentially being courted to manipulate Alf. Hearing Miles can't take him to the movies because Leah 'vonunteered' him for a lame, girlish benefit in pink on the beach, VJ confronts her inconsiderately bossy mothering, is still ignored in practice despite Miles's warning she clings to her son as sole constant in her messy life, blind to his maturing. VJ ends up running away, albeit by bus, from the maternal root of all his problems. Sid nor Roo knows how to handle his admission still to love her.
