Roo, Alf and Irene orchestrate a reconciliation between Marilyn and Leah. But with Leah sworn to secrecy about Heather, their grievances can't be aired. When Marilyn gets a text from Heather during the meeting, she rushes off without explanation.
Heather makes a magnanimous gesture of friendship to Marilyn. Grateful to have a second chance with her daughter, Marilyn pulls her into a hug. Heather apologises for skipping town so suddenly, explaining that it all just got too intense.
Heather admits that she is responsible for the break in at Leah's. But when Marilyn claims that Leah will forgive her, Heather hesitates at the idea of apologising. Mulling it over, Heather conceives an idea to win back Marilyn's friends. Marilyn is glad that Heather is seemingly making such an effort to repair.
What to Read Next
Heather takes Marilyn out to a beautiful sandstone property in the countryside, which Heather explains is her old boarding school. Making her big pitch, Heather suggests that they invite all of Marilyn's friends for a brunch so she can make amends with everyone. A chuffed Marilyn agrees.
The digital invites for brunch go out to Marilyn's friends as a surprise. They are all confused. When Leah calls Marilyn for clarification, Heather confiscates Marilyn's phone. Marilyn is wary of Heather's slightly controlling behaviour. When Marilyn wants her phone back, Heather creates a distraction then smacks Marilyn over the head with a candle holder, sending her unconscious.
Marilyn awakes to discover Heather tying her wrists and ankles to a chair. On a security screen, Marilyn can see CCTV footage of the college grounds and her friends arriving, looking around. Crying, Marilyn begs Heather not to hurt her friends. A sinister Heather smiles and says she just wants to talk, before gagging Marilyn and leaving her trapped in the room alone. Marilyn is terrified – what harm has she invited her friends into?
Meanwhile, a concerned Dean wants answers about why Ziggy cancelled their 12-week ultrasound. A tightly-wound Ziggy explains that she's scared to discover something wrong with the baby. Dean is understanding but insists that the sooner they see a doctor the better. Swallowing her fear, Ziggy agrees.
