The unconventional dark comedy ends by breaking with traditional narrative form, stepping away from the present to remember Shun's arrival at a happier time and giving the characters the freedom to decide their own fate.

As the dust settles from recent events the family find themselves back together at the house. Deborah and Maurice slip back into their paternal roles, for the good of the children. Donald realises that his sister may also be mentally ill.

Hylda confronts Deborah about Amy's increasingly odd behaviour. A drunken Maurice throws a wild party with the Pink Cuttlefish Orchestra. Amy discovers the truth about her grandfather and the origins of the Baumgaertner book.

Consumed by the fate of her grandfather and the intoxicating world of Baumgaertner, Amy seems to exist in a world of her own. Maurice and Deborah's relationship deteriorates and Shun is caught between the warring couple.

Maurice reluctantly prepares to pitch some new ideas to his publishers. Amy finds inspiration in the antique book which once belonged to her magician grandfather Felix.

Maurice is on medication and seems in a better place, Deborah's "misery memoir" about him is about to be published, Shun is drinking the summer away, Donald's set-up a business and Amy's band are coming to stay.
