Winners & Losers Season 3, Episode 15: Slip Sliding Away

Whys & What Ifs

After Matt's horrific death, everyone is expecting Bec to fall apart. But while her private torment is clear, she shows no overt sign of grief — even at Matt's funeral. Instead, she pastes on a brave face and displays an unnerving vigilance towards Harrison, not even letting Doug look after him. Jenny's adjusting to family life in the wake of the bombshell that there is a new Gross sibling, Sam McKenzie, who it has emerged is Brian's daughter from a previous relationship. The Gross house vibe has changed markedly, their freewheeling banter replaced with a forced politeness as they adjust to Sam. Meanwhile, Sophie planned to postpone her trip to Kenya in the wake of Matt's tragic passing. However, Bec insists she follow it through and when Doug gives her little reason to stay, Sophie heads to Nairobi with no return date locked in. And despite protestations to the contrary, the Jackson meltdown has also deeply affected Frances' sense of security.
