Following their kiss, Sky and Stingray consider a relationship together. Their plans are brought to a swift halt as Dylan watches them through the open front door of number 24 as they kiss in the kitchen. He leaves a few moments later without letting them know he has seen them but Janelle quickly brings them the news as she questions a dejected Dylan as he collapses on the sofa at number 26. Steiger warns that a relationship between Stingray and Sky would cause problems as he has seen in many of the domestic cases he has attended as a police officer. Janelle agrees with this sentiment and confronts Stingray and Sky about the relationship. Janelle’s question about whether their relationship is serious enough to risk Dylan and Kerry appears to hit home but it is Dylan who diffuses the situation as he speaks to the later. He tells them that he knows it will be awkward but tells them that a relationship between the pair is okay with him.
