Exiles

Falk considers how much he enjoyed Gemma’s house and company. He examines Joel’s video for an hour. Raco joins him, trying to escape his extended family, and notices the lack of glass in the video. Falk and Naomi complement each other as they get into their godparent places for the christening. During the christening, Falk silently vows to take care of Henry. After the ceremony, Rita says Kim left her job before having Zoe and didn’t tell anyone in Marralee. Naomi tried to text Kim about it, but Kim didn’t answer, which was typical of her.

At the reception after the christening, Falk is introduced to Ben, the brother of Raco and Charlie, who is also a police officer. Falk eavesdrops on Rohan telling Raco about Kim leaving her job, and Rohan seems surprised that she didn’t talk to Naomi about it. Zara looks through family photos on a tablet. The mother of the Raco brothers, Diane, mistakes Zoe for Zara in a picture, implying that Zoe looks like Charlie. Charlie assures Rohan that Kim would never have cheated on him.

Falk asks Gemma if she wants to “get some air” (239), and they walk hand-in-hand through the vineyard. Gemma leads them to a secluded spot, and they kiss.
