We open at Rick/Lily's house where they are in their bedroom packing for the week trip to Australia to look for houses. Grace is standing in the doorway complaining.

"Why can't I go? You know I've wanted to move to Australia as soon as Rick mentioned it. I should have a say in the house we are going to be living in for the next nine months! So, you're just gonna leave Zoe and I home by ourselves?" Grace asks.

"Well you already know that Jessie is staying at Karen's. Zoe is going to be spending the week with your father and Tiffany. Eli said he would stay here if you wanted to stay, otherwise he would stay at Karen's. So I'm giving you the choice to stay here or with your father." Lily says.

"I don't want to stay here or at dad's place. I want to go to Australia! I think Besides, I deserve a week off of school." Grace whines.

"I thought you liked going to school." states Lily as she starts searching through her closet.

Grace rolls her eyes and has a disgusted look on her face.

"Yeah I used to. That was just because I wanted to see Mr. D-" Grace quickly stops herself. "Uh…I just remembered something I have to do." She hurries off so she wouldn't have to hear anything from her mother about the comment she just made.

"I'm sorry, what did you say about school? I was looking for something and…Grace?? Where did she go?" Lily says to Rick.

Rick heard what Grace said and knew she was about to mention Mr. Dimitri.

"Oh...um… she just said that something came up and had to go." lies Rick.

"Oh…ok." says a confused Lily.

Cut to Grace knocking on Eli's door.

"Who is it?" asks Eli.

"Its me."

"Oh, come on in."

He doesn't hesitate to put out the blunt he's smoking but eventually starts to put it out just to make Grace feel more comfortable.

"You don't have to do that. I can just leave so you can finish sm-" Grace says as Eli cuts her off.

"No, it's fine. So, what's up?"

"I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to stay with my dad and Tiffany next week while Rick and my mom are in Australia. So you don't have to stay here. You can stay with your mom and Jessie."

"Oh…well actually I think I'm gonna stay here for a few days. I think it would be nice to have the house to myself for a little bit." says Eli.

"So in other words, you're gonna have some friends over, rehearse with the band and eat all the food here until there's nothing left. Then you'll go to your mom's house. Does that sound about right?" Grace says with a smile on her face.

Eli lets out a little laugh and says "yeah, pretty much."

They both smile at each other.

"Ok, I'll leave you alone now. Talk to ya later."

"Yeah, later." says Eli as he shuts the door after Grace leaves.

Meanwhile, Jessie and Katie are upstairs in the attic.

"So where are your dad and Lily going?" asks Katie.

"They're going to Australia. Just for a vacation." Jessie answers.

Jessie hasn't told Katie about their possible move to Australia because she's still trying to persuade Rick to let her stay with Karen. She doesn't want to tell Katie about it until she knows for sure whether she's staying or going.

"That sounds like fun. You're probably disappointed that you don't get go but I have to admit that I'm happy you aren't going. I don't know what I would do without you for a whole week!" exclaims Katie.

Jessie just gives a little smile towards Katie but is thinking about what would happen if they weren't together for nine months!? At the time, Rick wants Jessie to move to Australia with the rest of the family but he's still considering letting Jessie stay with Karen. Jessie can't wait, but at the same time is dreading the decision.
