Harold talks to Rosie about Nina’s singing, saying that she has the voice of an angel. Rosie wants to recruit her for the choir, but Harold reminds her that Nina is painfully shy and suggests a softly-softly approach.
Before school, Nina comes to see Michelle at the Scully’s and asks how she is. Michelle says she is still living on ice cream and jelly. Nina offers to talk to the teachers and bring back any schoolwork for Michelle at lunchtime. Michelle thanks her and says she needs a chat.
Later, Nina and Michelle are talking about Tahnee’s lies. Nina tells Michelle not to be ashamed of giving Tahnee the benefit of the doubt. Michelle is upset at not having listened to Connor, who never trusted Tahnee, and complains about Connor not telling her that he had problems with reading. Nina reassures Michelle that Connor loves her so much that he wasn’t willing to risk it. Michelle thanks Nina and tells her that she’s a real mate.
At the Coffee Shop, Rosie bumps into Nina and tells her that Harold says she sings like a nightingale. Nina says she doesn’t really sing very well, but Rosie insists that she join the choir. Nina continues to put herself down, but Rosie tells her that Harold doesn’t exaggerate. Rosie still tries to sell the idea to Nina, saying she might really enjoy it in the end. However, Nina maintains that she can’t and that she’d die if she had to. Then, Nina’s phone rings and she answers it to Connor, who asks her about Michelle. Nina tells him that Michelle is devastated, misses him and wants him to come home, but Connor says he can’t. He tells Nina that he’s picking apples in an orchard but won’t tell her where it is.
Nina comes to see Michelle at the Scully’s again to tell her about Connor’s phonecall. Nina tells her that he’s fine and misses Michelle, but Michelle is upset that he didn’t say where he was. Nina says she did some research and found some likely orchards where he could be. Michelle says Nina is the best friend, before they try calling one of the places.
