Premise

George Turner is a popular columnist for a top-selling Sydney newspaper, writing a weekly column which he insists must be exactly 800 words. After his wife dies, he buys (online and unseen) a home in a (fictional) small New Zealand seaside town called Weld, where his parents took him on holiday as a child. He then has to break the news to his two teenage children, Shay and Arlo. But the colourful and inquisitive locals in Weld ensure Turner's dream of a fresh start does not go exactly to plan. [1]

With Shay staying with her father again, there is no room for Billy, so Katie rents a tiny house-truck. Shay panics faced with an exam and walks out. Poppy's mother arrives and Woody tells the truth. She considers taking Poppy back to Australia but eventually decides Poppy is happy and that she will move to NZ. At the ball, Lindsay makes another snippy comment and Billy tells her she was the mean girl at pre-school and she'll end up being the mean old lady in her old people's home. Lindsay flees the ball and seeks refuge in the chill room in the shop. Shay comforts her and suggests she become Jan's au pair, which she does. George releases the news about the land deal and the bull-dozing of homes. He quits his job as a result. The besotted Monty decides to break off his affair with Ngahuia as she was part of the planners' group (as a senior Kiwi) and did not appreciate that homes were sold to be knocked down – not houses. This included Katie's house. George drives Katie's house-truck to his house so they are together. George tells Shay and Arlo that their mother left money in trust for them to have when they are 21 – but Shay can have hers early and go travelling with Siouxsie (so there will be a room for Billy). Big Mac introduces Fiona to his 4-year-old grandson by Robbie (conceived on his stag night and now left by the mother). Fiona has the option to start a family with her boyfriend but doesn't trust him because of the land deal; she agrees to parent the abandoned boy. The land situation is not resolved.
