Susan is working late; Summer comes in to see her. Susan tells her it was Bradley’s choice to resign, and that she didn’t force him. She tells Summer it’s perhaps better things have ended with Bradley now rather than six months down the line; but Summer reveals they’re still together, and hands in her own resignation. She thanks Susan for everything she’s done for her, but says it’s time for her to try something new, in Perth. Susan asks how much Summer really knows about Bradley, but Summer insists this is only about her, and that she’s ready to take this step.

Susan calls round to see Summer, who has a seat booked on the same flight as Bradley this afternoon. Susan tells Summer about Bradley being fired from his last job because of his fling with the boss’s daughter – who was even younger than Summer. Although visibly upset, Summer insists that she and Bradley are different, and continues to pack. Susan tells her she can change her mind, but Summer’s not listening. Susan leaves.
Summer gets on the defensive about Bradley, saying he only didn’t tell her about the younger girl because it never came up. Tash isn’t buying it, and thinks Bradley is manipulating Summer; but Summer insists she has her eyes wide open and that all is well. Reluctantly dropping the matter, Tash suggests they go to get some food.
They hug, and Summer waves Karl off. Time passes and she continues to wait – until eventually she gets through to Bradley on the phone. He tells her he’s already in Perth: he got a last- minute flight this morning. Summer’s annoyed that he didn’t return her messages – he makes the excuse that he must have been in the air when she rang, and pretends he’s got a dodgy signal and can’t hear her properly. He smirks throughout their conversation.
Bradley tells her that if she does get over to Perth, they could meet up for some drinks some time, before making an excuse and hanging up. Summer bursts into tears.
