Cheryl deals with the devil while Wolf tries his hand at parenting; meanwhile Rita gives death the good old-fashioned West family middle-finger salute.

With: Dan Musgrove as Lefty, Esther Stephens as Ngaire, Todd Emerson as Bilkey, Pana Hema-Taylor as Bert, Xavier Horan as Phineas, Sophie Hambleton as Carol, Patrick Tafa as Falani, Jordan Mooney as Eric, Jason Wu as Keith, Lily Powell as Mandy, Charlie Grey as Van/Jethro, Peter Elliott as Frankie, Michelle Langstone as Bianca, Emily McKenzie as Krystle, Piimio Mei as Aroha, Nisha Madhan as Loralee, Liesha Ward Knox as Mrs Doslic, Wesley Dowdell as Dick Spiller

Notes: Mrs Doslic was played by Jan Fisher in Outrageous Fortune. A lot of OF characters are appearing as young children in this series but they're all uncredited other than Van and Jethro. If you recall, young Billy met his unfortunate end in episode 1.04 of OF — "A young guy runs from the police. He hides in a wheelie bin. Bad move, as the rubbish truck comes along, picks up the bin and tosses it into the back. Thus ends the short, tragic like of Billy (The Kid) Grady West."

Behold — the Miracle Water!
