I throw the dice – four or over I stay, one to three I pack up. Six dots stare back, telling me I’ve nothing left to lose. John stays with the dice but not all choices can be left to fate. Merri makes a loaded decision. Nick takes his heart in his hands and gets a second chance. Leigh revs up her life with nearly disastrous results.
