Seasons
As Ron begins a new life in Rio, Charmian makes the best of things as a single mother in Melbourne. But tragedy strikes when their eldest is killed in a car accident.
After Ronnie's wanted photo appears in an Australian magazine, he moves Charmian and the boys to Melbourne, where she gets a job in a biscuit factory and he works as a building foreman. However, when his picture flashes on the evening news, he goes into hiding.
Charmian has an affair with Alan but finds herself visiting a back-alley abortionist after getting pregnant. Ruby threatens to tell Ronnie unless Charmian pays her, but Charmian has a better use for her cash: financing Ronnie's escape with fellow convict Eric Flower.
Ronnie returns from his tree-felling job and Charmian realises that he has been involved in the Great Train Robbery when he shows her his share of £147,000.
