Kirsty Millar (Kiruna Stamell) cooks a farewell dinner for her husband, Rich (Richard Atwill), who has decided to leave Letherbridge and to start a job working in Dubai.

But Ollie wants to stick around in Letherbridge and sort out his own life after recently leaving the army.
When the family, including new houseguest Scarlett, sit down for dinner, Kirsty manages to upset Ollie!
Scarlett later finds Ollie at a bar and consoles him over all the family drama he's had to deal with lately.
Scarlett and Ollie soon realise they have a whole lot in common, both having had to look after their dads.
At The Mill, Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee) tries to play it cool as he tells Sid Vere (Ashley Rice) about Tanisha Fonseca, the University friend he HOOKED-UP with!
It's clear there's still a spark between Bear and Tanisha all these years later.
