With all the mid term exams complete, the girls look forward to Open Day and get to see their parents and families. The girls were all ready to see their parents and families. They were all ready for the day. They all stood in front of their trunks except Tori who sat on her trunk as she was told to do by Matron.

Matron returned with their grade envelopes. She asked the girls to step forward if their parents were attending Open day. Matron told Tori to stay seated. She knew her parents were coming. All the girls except Alicia, Sally and Marylou stepped forward. She then handed out the envelopes. Sally, Marylou and Alicia didn't get an envelope because their parents or family weren't coming. Matron then left.

The girls were alone in the dorm getting ready to see their parents. Tori asked Sally if she wanted to join her and her family for the day. Sally thought it would be lovely. Darrel then asked Marylou. She was so glad that Darrel asked her. Darrel told Marylou that they would be also joining Tori's family and Sally as Sally was invited by Tori. Alicia told Darrel another friend invited her to be with her family. Darrel understood. The girls then left the dorm.

Her dad told her that they had a surprise for her. Her younger sister Felicity got out of the car. Darrel hugged her younger sister. She asked why she was there. Her dad told her that he had a conference at the hotel in the village and they wanted to make it a fun trip. Darrel then introduced her parents younger sister to Marylou. They were glad to meet Marylou.

Just then Dr. Rivers then noticed Tori and Sally. Darrel noticed that her dad wanted Tori in her wheelchair by the disappointed look he had on his face. This made Tori nervous.
