Shock sets in after Shane's outburst at Ollie. Although Dipi appreciates emotions are running high, she points out that Shane assaulted a minor and with a criminal record, the threat of prison time is real. She asks Shane for an explanation and he eventually reveals the secret of why he feels so responsible for Mackenzie. Reeling from what she has learned, Dipi now understands his behaviour a little better.
Ollie's mum accosts Shane for manhandling her teenage son and threatens going to the police. But when Ollie's mum learns the truth of her son's actions, she decides not to take the matter any further, allowing Shane to avoid a criminal charge.
To Shane, the most important thing is Mackenzie. He fears how his aggressive display has affected her. Mackenzie admits it was confronting, but ultimately, Shane's protective instincts mean the world to her. Shane's efforts have proved to Mackenzie that he has her back – which is more than she can say for her own father. While Shane's chuffed to be making headway with Mackenzie, Dipi becomes concerned by their growing connection, especially after Susan points out Shane is taking things too far.
Meanwhile, newlyweds Paul and Terese arrive in London, ready to enjoy their honeymoon, but Paul's mood dampens when he learns that Leo has left Erinsborough. Despite Paul's frustration that Leo helped his exes conspire against him, Paul knows he'll miss his son's presence in his life.
Thinking on the relationship between children and their parents cause the pair to turn their thoughts to Harlow's mother Prudence. Considering they're all in London together, they decide to meet her in person. They send Harlow a message to let them know of their plans, but Harlow freaks out at the prospect. She's desperate for the meeting not to go ahead, but why?
