Shannon listened as Finn assured her he would be showing George around the city and making sure the two of them got themselves very drunk. "Glad to hear it, Finnian." She couldn't help but display an exaggerated frown when he said he'd nearly saved enough money to move out of the Porters' place. "Ah, well that is a shame, love. I get the most sense out of you..." she informed him. She was broken off from the conversation when Savannah entered the kitchen with a bunch of flowers that needed putting into water. Shannon got out of her seat and found an empty glass vase in one of the cupboards. As she stood the flowers inside and filled the vase with water, she looked down to her granddaughter. "Savvy, we have visitor. His name is George and he's a friend of your dad's. They both shared a room in prison," she informed her.
"Hey, Savvy. It's lovely to meet you. Your dad told me about you. You like ice-skating, right?" he recalled. Savannah smiled a the man and quickly nodded her head, feeling a little more reassured to hear Peter had told George about her whilst in prison. She was about to speak up when Braden and Emery both raised their voices, stealing any attention, as they squabbled over who had done the most work towards making the cake and buns.
"You two had better shut those big gobs, right now!" Shannon loudly warned them. "I think you'll find I was the one who did all of the work. Now, all three of you," she said, directling her focus on all of the Callahan kids, "go to guest lounge and play with your toys. Give your Gran some peace and quiet, for crying out loud." Once all three children had scurried out of the kitchen, Shannon looked back to Finn and George. "So, Finnian. You're thinking of moving out?" she returned to their conversation. "I guess I can't blame you. If you're back on the dating scene and bringing girls back with you, it's probably for the best. The last thing I need is to walk in on that! The things I've seen over the years in this place and the one back in Chicago..." The distant sound of the telephone ringing in the lounge was enough to save the woman from reliving the times she'd walked in on James and Lucy all those years ago. "Saved by the bell..." she trailed off as she rushed to take the call.
George stood trying to take in all of the excitement and liveliness around him. Soon enough, the kids and then Shannon left the room, leaving him with just Finn. A bright smile crossed his lips as he looked to his friend. "You have a crazy and energetic family, mate. I love it!" he commented. It was vastly different to the stuffiness of his own family home and he welcomed it completely. "So, Finn. Looking to bag yourself a new girlfriend?" he teased, still amused at Shannon's openness.
