Love Me on ABC and ABC iview S1E5 –Clara, Aaron and Glen take to the banks of the Yarra to scatter Christine’s ashes.
And rather than take time in the moment, Glen runs off to see his new girlfriend, Anita.
In a spur of the moment decision whist picking up clothes for his weekend at Anita’s, Glen decides it’s time to pack up Christine’s belongings and take them to the charity shop.
At the hospital, Clara tells Sacha that Peter has moved out. Sacha calls out her behaviour – insisting she needs to work harder to hold onto Peter.
Inspired by Sacha’s call to arms, Clara pops on some sexy lingerie and prepares to surprise Peter. But as he opens the door to find Clara draped across the bed, Peter reveals he has a surprise for her too – his son.
Ignoring Ella’s calls, Aaron meets Jesse for lunch. Jesse is always there for him, guiding him through his grief, relationship, and work issues. After receiving a call to invite him to dinner with his father’s new girlfriend, he asks Jesse to come for moral support.
As they all come together around Anita’s dining table, Glen takes the opportunity to deliver a very honest and emotional speech. He speaks about each of his children and their mother’s love for them, then Glen moves on to Anita, admiring her kindness and thoughtfulness. Out of nowhere, he proposes marriage. Anita says yes as Aaron cries and Clara sits in stunned silence, love challenging them all, yet again.
Later, as Jesse drops Aaron home she chastises him about his behaviour – she can see how happy Glen is – and insists you can’t help who or when you fall in love. In that moment, Aaron realises what has been under his nose – Jesse’s in love with him, she’s his soul mate. He kisses her.
But as Peter and Clara return home together things don’t go so smoothly. When Peter’s son Max has a moment alone with Clara, he lays it all out for her; he hasn’t had his father in his life for fifteen years and now she’s taking him away again. The reality startles Clara and she leaves without saying goodbye.
In the dark of night, Glen returns to the charity bins to retrieve Christine’s belongings – still very much grieving.
