In revenge for his beating John threatens to put the farm-house up for sale, rejecting Mia's offer to buy it. The kids blame her and are still wary of having a transsexual guardian but Levi breaks down and admits to Mia how much he misses his mother and even Riley comes to appreciate that having another female presence in the house lightens her work-load. Eddie, the boss from whom Mia takes the orders for her hits, turns up with another job for her but has his name put on the lease, which ensures that Mia and the kids can stay. They have a party to celebrate but Riley slips out to meet the married John, by whom she is pregnant.
