Clearly still struggling with his past and memories before his amnesia, Finn opens up to Bea Nilsson (Bonnie Anderson) and Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne) about life growing up with his father Trent, who was a loving man but unfortunately turned to alcoholism. As Finn got older and could see what was going on he and his father drifted apart, especially when he started university. But due to his amnesia he’s not sure what happened after that, so doesn’t have much closure where this part of his past is concerned.
Understanding that relationships with parents can be complicated, Bea makes the rash decision to contact Trent herself, hoping that it could bring he and Finn together. Bea’s sister Elly Conway warns that she may not be making the best decision, especially as Finn specifically told her that, despite his feelings, he doesn’t want to pursue a relationship with his father. But, thinking she knows better, Bea insists that Finn is just scared of what might happen, so she will suss Trent out first and make sure he can be trusted.
Elly agrees to accompany Bea to meet Trent, who on first impressions seems like a caring and humble man. However, as they get to know him more they end up uncovering a secret about Trent’s past that could absolutely shatter Finn.

But before the girls have time to tell Finn that his father’s in town, he ends up seeing them together himself, so demands that they tell him everything. They agree, and what they tell him causes Finn to break down.
Eventually, Finn manages to control his emotions and agrees to move past everything that he’s found out about his father – but will he forgive Bea for going against his wishes?
