Next up, the group heads to Watamu for a surprise boat trip, but things don't go as planned when they arrive late and the tide is out. Undeterred, they make the most of their time on the catamaran, soaking up the sun and enjoying some much-needed bikini time.

At lunch, tensions start to rise when Minne picks a fight with Lisa, but the ladies manage to keep the peace and enjoy the rest of the day. Susan's birthday dinner is the highlight of the trip, with everyone dressed to the nines and celebrating the birthday girl in style. Vera stirs up some drama, but it's quickly diffused when the dancing starts and the night ends on a high note.

As Dr C puts it, "life begins at forty," and Susan is ready to take on whatever the future holds.
