Still troubled by the thought of his dying father and with Lisa’s words ringing in his ears, Zak finally decides the time has come to face his past and visit him. But he isn’t prepared for the sight that greets him when he arrives at the hospital. Jed is weak and decrepit - almost beyond recognition. Upon seeing his son, Jed mumbles about the Dingle inheritance being hidden in South America and insists that Zak should head for Santiago and retrieve the family fortune. Zak is saddened that his father has been reduced to a frail fantasist and reluctantly returns home. Latisha and Jason are busying themselves with plans for a new life in Lisbon. He even offers to take the whole Daggert clan with them - knowing that it will make it easier for Latisha to leave.
