Episode 118: A New Place Called Home.

SPECIAL GUEST STAR:

CASSIDY FREEMAN as Linda Perry.

Harry, Bethany and Rebecca are on their way to their new home in Francis Bay, Long Island from New York City. On the way, they stop off at a gas station for a fill up and a snack. Whilst in the store, Rebecca bumps into a red headed lady wearing thick sun glasses and they trade apologies and flirty smiling glances. After Harry fills up the car and as the family are about to begin their final journey, Rebecca smiles back at the red headed girl and the girl is somewhat taken aback, when she spots Bethany from a distance. The Wilsons arrive at their new home on Francis Bay and begin to settle in. Rebecca and Bethany are surprised when they are welcomed to the bay, by Benjamin Bates, who was the stripper gram at Emma's hen party, a few months earlier. By coincidence, he is lives in Francis and is a fisherman. When queried, where he lives, he states on his boat and Harry offers him to rent out the small cabined house, between the main house and the lighthouse and Benjamin appreciates Harry's kind offer. Bethany agrees to take care of everything, due to her banking experience.

Benjamin heads into the main small fishing town of Francis about a mile and a half from the Wilsons and accidently bumps into another new arrival, Deloris King, who has returned from a long duration at university. Deloris immediately falls for the dark, blue eyed prince, who helps her with her belongings into her parents cafeteria. Charlotte and Dominic are thrilled that their daughter has come home. Deloris thanks Benjamin for his kindness and hopefully suggests seeing him a round sometime. Benjamin assures her that it will be often. Charlotte is keen for Deloris to get her career off to a start and no better place than the Big Apple itself. Dominic encourages Charlotte not to force anything on their daughter.

'I just want to see her make something of herself,' Charlotte says.

'I know you do Ma Ma,' Deloris acknowledges. 'But, there's no rush.'

'You want to be a lawyer don't you?' Charlotte adds.

'Ma Ma , are you already trying to get rid of me?' Deloris wonders.

'Of course not......oh God I've missed you so much,' Charlotte smiles.

The two embrace and Charlotte does feel emotional, but why is she so desperate for her daughter to rush her future?

'Ma, Ma, you don't have to keep doing this,' Deloris bluntly sighs.

'What do you mean?' Charlotte shrugs.

'Blaming yourself for what happened to James. Seeing yourself as a worthless mother. I never blamed you and Dad never did either. You suffered enough and you look better,' Deloris explains. 'I know you love me and want to be proud. At least lets try and bond again.'

'Deloris is right, Charlotte,' Dominic insists. 'Let's concentrate on being a family for the time being, we all have a lot of catching up to do.'

Charlotte agrees and Deloris heads upstairs, not before glancing out into the street and smiling at Benjamin, who smiles back. Charlotte kind of feels nerved by this and Dominic glares at Benjamin as Ben heads off to the harbour.

New York City, Chris asks Emma's feelings on her real fathers suspected suicide? Emma claims she doesn't feel anything and points out, he was never part of her life.

Abrahams case involving Emma's natural fathers death is brought to a close, much to a somewhat relieved Eric Lance, who thwarts two criminal attempting a store robbery. Abraham is pleased by Eric's assistance. But is Eric, what he seems?

Francis Bay, Rebecca is offered a job at the Kings Cafeteria and Deloris gets chatting to Benjamin at the harbour side and asks him out on a date. To her relief, he accepts.

Bethany and Harry later meets the Kings and Harry is surprised to remember Dominic from 'Hexville High School.' Bethany acts somewhat surprised, but is somewhat nervous around Charlotte, who feels the same towards Bethany.

'Its been a long time Harry,' Dominic said.

'Twenty two, twenty three years,' Harry figures.

'That long?' Dominic gasps. 'Are you and Bethany......?'

'Married, yes,' Harry nods.

'Wow, that's.......great. What brings you to this neck of the woods?' Dominic asks.

'We just moved here from the city, start a new life,' Harry informs. 'I believe you just employed my daughter.'

'Rebecca is your daughter, what a coincidence,' Dominic chuckles. 'Looks like we got a lot of catching up to do.'

Dominic pulls Harry aside and gives his condolences to him, following Jeff's passing. Harry explains his marriage to Tina and her devastating fate the previous year. Dominic asks Harry, if they ever found his parents murderers?

'It's been the biggest mystery of my life,' Harry whispers. 'But, all I can do is live in hope.'

Charlotte and Dominic later discuss the new town residents on closing time and Charlotte points out to Dominic, that Harry is married to a woman, who was on the same psychiatric ward as her, back in 1995. Dominic pretends to not have noticed, considering, he was in the same year as Bethany at High School.

On her way home, Rebecca spots the red head headed lady wearing her sunglasses. Benjamin is given a home welcome gift by Bethany. On her way out she turns to Benjamin.

'Oh, and behave yourself,' Bethany winks.

The red headed girl returns to her home in town. She partially opens the curtains to allow the moonlight in and she puts on a familiar necklace, a Cosmos necklace and she removes her sunglasses to reveal herself as Linda Perry, who was last seen in Season Five.'

One week later, Bethany begins her new job as an administrator, Rebecca and Deloris become close friends. Deloris begins dating Benjamin, much to her parents feel uncomfortable. And Harry surprises the family, when he reveals himself as Francis Bays new local police officer.
