to come to her pub so that they could live together, stating her plans to renovate the pub and start a karaoke act with Nikki, also deciding on what to name their pub again. Nikki becomes very ill and develops a fever, so she has to go back to hospital, although she hates it. Jayni remembers children's stories in which the hero has to perform a terrifying but menial task. She envisions that to get her mother better she has to stand by the shark tank and count sixty seconds, sixty times (she is terrified of sharks). This she does. An aquarium worker sees this and says she must be a shark enthusiast. Then, eventually Nikki gets better and returns home. Jayni knows it has nothing to do with the tooth but it is comforting. Jayni then decides that she'll stay Lola Rose, and hopes that her mother gets completely better, so that they live happily ever after, with Auntie Barbara, in her pub.
