Nikau is hesitant about his new start at the big city modelling agency, but Bella's encouragement is all Nikau needs to get him over the line. Surrounded by stunning models, Nikau and Bella gingerly enter the modelling agency, with a frosty reception, until Sienna arrives. She's surprised to see Bella with Nikau and subtly makes her disapproval known, leaving Bella to feel uncomfortable about being there to support her boyfriend.

While Nikau is off signing his contract, Bella takes the opportunity to have a look around the agency and stumbles across a photoshoot in session. The photographer is initially standoff-ish towards her, but he quietly realises who Bella is and is accommodating. She watches on with intrigue, and discusses camera lenses, impressing the photographer.

When Sienna finally locates Bella and addresses Emmett by his name, Bella realises who exactly she has been admiring. When it comes turn for Nikau to take some headshots, he struggles to pull it together – wishing he wasn't there at all.

What to Read Next

Nikau is feeling like a fish out of water and Sienna isn't impressed with the shots he's producing. Unable to take another knock to his confidence, Nikau storms out half way through the shoot, leaving Bella, Emmett and mostly Sienna, in shock.

Meanwhile, Tori and Christian discuss wedding preparations, but when Christian decides that he wants to go ahead with a ceremony in three weeks' time, Tori is pleasantly shocked by the suggestion.

The couple agree to keep their news quiet, but Christian has other ideas and he can't help but tell everyone about their exciting news. Irene and Marilyn are quietly sceptical about whether they are able to book a venue, but offer up an idea of going to Brody's vineyard to get hitched.

In the middle of the meditation part of the yoga session, Christian begins to replace parts of that fateful night, including moments where he was clinically dead. He tries to discuss it with Tori, pulling for the full rundown of what transpired that day.

As she recalls the details, Christian can hear the conversations between Tori and Jasmine, believing in life beyond the conscious and living. Tori is at her limit and he backs off, but when he admits he remembers everything, even when he was clinically dead, Tori doesn't know what to think.

Elsewhere, Ari comes across Tori and Christian when Mia is setting up to take a yoga class and offers to take Grace while the pair of them enjoy a class together.

Both Irene and Marilyn are impressed with watching Ari manage baby Grace. He talks to them candidly about his joy in raising Nikau and Chloe when they were babies, but stops short of disclosing the truth over why he and Mia never had their own children. When Mia sees Ari with Grace, it brings back more memories of the baby they lost.
