Andrula
Marianne's mother, Elena, visits and spends much of her time walking in Elounda looking for a suitable property to buy. When a total stranger falls and is injured she goes to their aid. It is only later that she discovers that it is Kyriakos's mother. The injury, although severe, means that Ronnie reaches a better understanding with Irini.
During one of her walks along the Causeway Elena thinks she has found a short cut only to find her way barred by overgrown bushes although she can see a house through the greenery. Upon her return to New Orleans she finally finds a house there that she will be happy to live in.
Vasilis and Cathy have moved into their new house and are able to invite their family and friends, including Pietro and Gabriella to visit. Whilst there Pietro visits the family who were responsible for the deaths of his father and grandfather.
Vasi and Saffron are living in the apartment in Elounda whilst they make alterations to the big house with the intention of turning it into self catering accommodation for tourists.
John discovers a dog and her pups abandoned on the hill and takes them to an animal sanctuary to be cared for and re-homed. Knowing Vasi to be a dog lover John encourages him to visit and is not surprised by the result.
Ronnie is intrigued by Eirini's memoirs and asks John if he can find out any more about the mysterious aunt that is mentioned. John and Nicola find out some unpleasant and sad facts about the lady before having to call on the services of the church for help.
