Pareku­ra and Ra re-unite on a night out in the town. Their past rekin­dles an old kind, odd romance for each oth­er again. They enjoy the night and end up back at Parekura’s whare where her father, Chief, awaits the return of his only daugh­ter not expect­ing to see her infa­mous friend as well. Chief con­cedes to Parekura’s demands of let­ting Ra stay on the con­di­tion that she begin to take her anti-depres­sants. After catch ups are had Chief and Ra come to form a mutu­al kind of con­cern for Pareku­ra and she begins to ask for guid­ance from her mum.

Parekura’s state of mind begins to dete­ri­o­rate dur­ing the day from var­i­ous pres­sures and stress. As she tries to get back to a sense of good a famil­iar tur­bu­lence begins to arise between Ra and her­self leav­ing Ra to fig­ure out how things got so messed up, so quick­ly, again.
