After the funeral, all of Weld show up at the Boat House to have a good time and let off steam following the day's events.

Eventually, Tracey realizes that she does have feelings for Woody after all. Becks realizes this as well, so she decides to break up with Woody, though she tells him when he wakes up from his coma.

At the end of the episode, as a show of gratitude to George, Woody takes him and his children to a secret natural spring pool (complete with waterfall!) that only the locals know about and where they can go to escape the Summer people. The Turners have officially become locals.

Monty shows up to George's office and begins sulking. Thankfully, George snaps him out of his funk and convinces him to stand up to both Robbie and Big Mac, which he does.
By the end of the episode, Monty stands up to Robbie and takes back his job. Siouxsie, who had been staying over at Big Mac's house, then moves back in with her father and gets her old job back.

Shay, who had earlier broken up with Ike over his objections to her participation in Katie's art scheme, doesn't hesitate to embrace him after he turns up alive.

Hannah tells Constable Tom her reasons for wanting to join the police force: She wants to change her life and move on from her past self, which came to its apex with Terry's arrival and swift departure from Weld. Tom is actually somewhat moved by it and gives her a post as his assistant after his current assistant retires.

Episode 5

Woody's first meeting with Poppy kicks off on the wrong foot, namely because up until that moment, he didn't even know he had fathered a daughter with Mary. When he sees her fixing a doorpost, they bond over their shared love of building and woodworking.
Monty and Siouxsie show up at George's place and ask Shay if they could stay over for a while as their roof has a leak that can't be fixed until Woody comes back from Australia. After Siouxsie reminds her dad it's not a good idea for them to stay at Big Mac's place (because of the emotional abuse Monty is put through while staying there), Shay lets them stay over.
Mary, when asked by George if she still loves Woody, replies, "Well, everybody loves Woody."
Before leaving back to New Zealand, Woody makes one final request to Mary, now his newly divorced ex-wife. He asks if he could take Poppy back to Weld with him. She lets her go with him, though it would inevitably bring more trouble when he comes back home to Tracey.
By the end of the episode, George's house has become a place of refuge. Monty and Siouxsie use his facilities while they sleep outside in their camper van, and Woody and Poppy take up residence temporarily after Tracey kicks him out of her house for lying about his trip to Australia. But at least the houseguests are helpful.

Episode 6

Monty wants to have a fondue party in honor of George's generosity during a time of need, though he's not quite appreciative of it as he's trying to kick people out of the house (in a discreet manner, of course).
In a surprising move, Big Mac decides to let Arlo and Lindsay stay at his house.
While in Mrs. Ferguson's bach (Summer home), Shay and Siouxsie decide that they should move in together for a time.
Of course, the biggest heartwarming moment comes towards the end of the episode when Woody, having finally gotten over his fear of speaking to Tracey (thanks to George and Poppy), goes to Tracey's house. After George gives them a Rousing Speech about how their love should not be killed over a stupid mistake on Woody's part, Tracey forgives him and takes him back. Woody later on goes outside and announces to the townsfolk gathered outside the house that their wedding is back on!
George and Monty have the following exchange after he finally kicks him out of the house:
George: It's called tough love, Monty.
Monty: [pausing to think for a moment] You love me! [Pause.] Well, I'm quite fond of you, too.
George: Tough love. Tough. It's a saying. [Beat]
George: Aw, damn it, alright, alright. I love you.
Monty: Aww!
