Helen's great-niece Georgie is visiting her parents, Flora and Walter, and her grandmother Marian (Helen's sister) in Rockhampton, in Central Queensland.  She has booked a Skype call with Helen, who is running late—as usual.

The sun is out, and Helen joins Nana Madeleine from next door for a natter in the garden. The birds are singing, as the 102 year old and the 77 year old toss some ideas around regarding family, depression and whether humanity has passed Peak Evolution.

Helen tries to dodge a few bullets when she finds herself in between her granddaughter Susie and Susie's boyfriend Jack. It would be helpful if she could ever learn to think before she speaks.  Liverpool legend Mark Porter returns to the show in the role of Jack.

Helen gets a fright while out shopping for cheese, and makes a new friend.  It's always best not to jump to conclusions.  In this week's episode, she might just find the answer to her question from someone much, much younger.  Special guest artist is actor, singer, musical director, and graduate of East 15 Acting School,  Christopher McDougall.

Memories can be a comfort, or a cause of distress. And when memories disappear, it's hard to know who feels it the most. Helen's older sister likes to ring up from her home in Rockhampton, Queensland, to check up on some old memories. Helen is still struggling to write down some of hers, worrying that daughter Janey might be upset. But we can always learn something new about our nearest and dearest.

Well, who hasn't? When old friends meet up after many years, it's good to share.  And when old people need to share, it's good to have friends who understand what you are going through. Helen and Pattie have a lot of catching up to do.  Helen and her daughter Janey seem to be happy enough to keep their own counsel—for the time being.
