Nikau asks Bella to come with him to lunch with the modelling agent. Bella can't see the point, as he's just going to tell them thanks, but no thanks. Despite Nikau not wanting his uncle to know, Bella explains about the meeting. Ari suggests to Nikau that he should hear them out, but Nikau is firm – he's saying no.

At Salt, Nikau is met by Sienna, who is all charm. Nikau struggles to make conversation, until Ari turns up out of the blue. He asks Sienna what the deal is. Sienna reveals that she wants to sign Nikau immediately. She thinks he'll be the next big thing – and will do whatever it takes to get him.

Later, Mia and Bella are brought up to speed. Nikau reveals there was a bonus offer – if he signs as a model, Bella gets a photography internship with a top professional. When the two look up the photographer Bella would be paired with, she is blown away – this guy is seriously talented and high profile. However, she doesn't want to influence Nikau just because of the opportunity this is for her. If he wants to stay at the bait shop, that's his call.

What to Read Next

Later, Nikau reveals to Ari and Mia that he's going to take the offer. Ari and Mia are not buying the fact that Nikau wants to take up the modelling job for himself.

Meanwhile, having brought Tori to the Diner to face Jasmine, Christian reasons with Tori that they can't let Lewis destroy the women's relationship. None of them knew what he was capable of and Christian knows he could have handled things differently.

Tori eventually softens, admitting that she let Lewis gaslight her into questioning Christian's integrity as a surgeon. She agrees that what Lewis did isn't Jasmine's fault. While Christian waits for Tori, Irene compliments him on getting the girls together, as Jasmine has been struggling. Christian reminds Irene that Jasmine helped save his life. From now on, he wants to focus on living positively.

Later that evening, Tori and Christian debrief. She can't help thinking about the what-ifs: what if she hadn't got there in time? She reminds Christian that he doesn't know what it was like from her side – she was terrified. What if she hadn't been able to save him? Christian reminds her that she did – he's right there.

Christian suggests they should have a picnic on the beach together and Tori agrees. While on the beach, Tori falls asleep and has a nightmare about the moment she found Lewis over an unconscious Christian. Tori wakes up distressed and freaks out when she can't find Christian anywhere on the beach.

The next minute, Christian appears and Tori sobs in his arms, which brings Christian to a decision. He asks why they are putting off setting a date for the wedding. They should just do it – get married ASAP.

Elsewhere, Mia and Ari are loved-up as they walk to the gym. Mia is concerned about measuring up to her boss, Jasmine, who's meeting her at the gym for the first time. Ari assures Mia that she'll impress.

At the gym, Ari flirts with Mia and the two kiss just as Jasmine arrives. Mia is horrified, assuring Jasmine that she's usually very professional. Despite Ari continuing to put his foot in it, Jasmine is unfazed – pleased to have someone as qualified as Mia in the job.
