Nikau, Bella and their friends, Ryder Jackson (Lukas Radovich) and Chloe Anderson (Sam Barrett) have been kidnapped!
The frightened friends have no idea by WHO or WHY?

But the next morning, they quickly discover who is behind their disappearance...
Meanwhile, Ari Parata (Rob Kipa-Williams) tries to make things right with his ex, Mia Anderson (Anna Samson).
Mia is wary of getting romantically involved with Ari again.
Especially since he has only just broken-up with his girlfriend, Mackenzie Booth (Emily Weir)!
But neither Ari nor Mia can deny there are unresolved feelings between them.
As Ari turns on the charm, Mia finds herself back in his arms... and bed again!
Elsewhere in the Bay, Justin Morgan (James Stewart) and Leah Patterson's (Ada Nicodemou) house-hunting has run into trouble.

However, Justin's sister, Tori (Penny McNamee) doesn't think much of the property and makes her feelings known!
When Tori tries to talk Justin out of putting in an offer for the house, Leah starts to get annoyed with Tori's unwanted involvement.
