Theo and Andrew pull over on their way back to the Bay. Andrew confides in Theo that it's not just his mum's death that is bothering him. Vita Nova is still out there, and he could be in danger. Leah tries her best to allay his fears, assuring him that no-one's going to hurt them, but Theo later finds Andrew up alone in the middle of the night clutching a kitchen knife for protection.
When Andrew and the knife later go missing, Theo tracks Andrew down to the beach and hears the truth – Andrew is leaving to protect Justin, Leah and Theo. Theo calls Justin for reinforcements, but can they convince Andrew to stay?
Meanwhile, Remi pleads his case to Eden for Mercedes hanging around – they sound better with her than without, and even Eden doesn't deny that. Eden gives an inch and the two form an uneasy truce, but with her feet under the table, Mercedes doesn't waste time before she's undermining Remi and Bree's relationship – seizing on Bree's aversion to motorbikes as a starting point.
What to Read Next
After a further conversation with uneasy ally Eden, Mercedes surprises Lyrik by leaving the share house. Just because they're finishing the album doesn't mean they all need to live together. Are Mercedes' intentions pure after all?
Elsewhere, John suffers a dizzy spell after surgery and later clutches his chest in agony. Bree rushes to the rescue and with dutiful Irene by his side, John makes it through. Having escaped death, John allows himself to be vulnerable with Irene – he says that he misses companionship. He adds that if he'd died today, he would have died a lonely man – isn't there more to life than this?
