Back in present, at Kalokairi, Sky had just arrived at the island dock. He had said to Sophie that he won't be able to come to the party because of obligations in New York and he was going to surprise her. Meantime, at Sophie's house, Joe came to ask his sister for help.

SOPHIE – Oh Joe! Hi! How can I help you?

JOE – Hello Sophie, I'm sorry to bother you but our room misses one pillow so I came to ask you for one please.

SOPHIE – Sure! Come in, I'll give you one now.

Joe entered the house closing the door behind him.

JOE – You know Soph, I admire you.

SOPHIE – Really?

JOE – Yeah! I mean, you dedicated your life for this hotel while having a child to raise and all this on your own.

SOPHIE – Well, my husband Sky is very busy with his business classes in New York and he tries to come to the island every time he has some time off. However, I don't think I'm on my own. Our relationship is based on the support we give to each other, and someone had to stay here to make sure the hotel is working fine. If he could, he would be here with us all year but I don't feel lonely you know. I have my grandparents, I have Sam, my 2 other dads who always visit me, my aunts... they fill the void that my mother has left.

JOE – You're a brave woman.

Smiling at Joe, Sophie gave him the pillow. He left the house after thanking her. Unfortunately, Sky who was arriving to the house, carrying his suitcase got surprised to see this stranger leaving his house in the early morning with a pillow. Confused, he imagined the worst case scenario.

(Song: Crazy World)

SKY - I was out with the morning sun
Couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd take a walk
I was thinking of you and me
And I went to your house, 'cause I had to talk
I could hardly believe my eyes
When I saw this guy closing your front door
Had the feeling of emptiness like I never had before
And I closed my eyes, will you leave me girl
Then I realized, it's a crazy world
Baby, how could you do it
You just told me lies
And you meet behind my back
With other guys
Baby, how could you tell me
There was only me
I was stupid to believe you
I was blind but now I see

Abruptly, as the instrumental music continued to play, Sophie came out and saw Sky standing in front of the door. Thrilled by this surprise, she hastened towards him and hugged him. However, Sky kept a blank stare. Forthwith, they entered the house.

SOPHIE – I can't believe you're here! It's amazing, what a great surprise! So you're staying for the party? I can't wait to tell everyone, my brothers! It's amazing, you'll meet my brothers! Joe has just left from here; I would have introduced you...

SKY – Wait, Soph... your brothers?

Sophie smiled and took happily Sky's hand.

SOPHIEHow I have missed to hold your hand
There is something honey, that you may not know
There's a couple of men in my life
And one of them is my brother Joe
He's been gone for a long, long time
Now he's here, for the party he's gonna stay
You'll be seeing a lot of him, he's so nice in every way

As the instrumental music continued to play, Sky realized that he was completely mistaken. Relieved, he smiled and kissed Sophie.

SKY – I missed you.

Suddenly, Donny came running out of the blue, happy to see that his father was back. Jumping into his arms, he hugged him. The little family was now completed.
