Elly is stunned by the kiss that Chloe has just planted on her. Chloe tries to brush it off and wants Elly to forget about it. The women don't get a chance to discuss it any further when Mark interrupts to tell them his test results are ready in the morning.

The family gathers at the hospital, anxiously waiting to see what fate Mark has been dealt. Despite the Chloe kiss being unresolved, Elly feels an overwhelming urge to cement her relationship with Mark and surprises him with a marriage proposal. She makes it clear that her love is unconditional, whatever the test results say – she wants to marry him.

Moved, Mark accepts, then discovers he doesn't have the Huntington's gene. It provides instant relief for everyone and gives Aaron the courage to change his mind. He tells David that he'll now have the test and the couple head to the hospital to do it.

Later, Chloe does her best to assure Elly that the kiss was a meaningless non-event. However, the truth is that Chloe is starting to fall hard for her future sister-in-law.

Meanwhile, Alice dumps Toadie's laptop and makes an anonymous phone call to the police, ensuring it's found. Toadie is pleased to have it back, unaware Alice has tampered with it for some nefarious reason. Toadie becomes worried about Sonya, whose flu like symptoms are getting worse. Alice takes delight in seeing Sonya's withdrawal unfolding just as she hoped.

Alice begins playing on Sonya's disoriented state, orchestrating for her to 'find' photos of Andrea on Toadie's laptop. Sonya fears the worst, believing Toadie must still hold a candle for Andrea. She has a meltdown, angrily confronting her husband. Toadie is confused and alarmed by his wife's state, especially when he checks his laptop and the photos she claims to have seen are nowhere to be found.
