Having split with Helen Angus is now crashing with Dylan whilst Evie is engaged to Mal.

The two women visit for a dinner party but there is a power cut and Anna and Dylan end up in bed together, though she tells him he is too young to be a permanent boyfriend. In the present he rings her with his bad news - unaware that she is at a conference on speaker-phone - and then gets a call from Abigail.
