Elle's hopes for a joyful reunion with Paul are crushed when he fails to recognise who she is. She tries to jog his memory with photos and bewildered Paul recognises Gail. He's distressed to learn of his divorce, forcing Elle to consider just how much she should tell her father about his damaged past.
As agreed, Elle calls Carmella instead of Oliver for support. However, only Oliver is around to answer the call and he's frustrated when he can't find Carmella to pass on the message. When he discovers Ringo and Carmella frolicking in the pool, Ollie's annoyed that she failed to keep up her end of the bargain. Accepting that she wasn't ignoring Elle intentionally, they both apologise but it's becoming increasingly clear to them, and to sly eavesdropper Ringo, that their relationship is starting to disintegrate.
