Mali tries his best to support Tane through the break-up, meeting him on the beach after his big gym outburst. Tane is in a tricky place – he admits that he hates Felicity whilst still loving her, and it's hard to turn these feelings off.
Word spreads of his misery, and it's confirmed by his foul mood. Harper, Roo and Dana wonder what they can do to help, but Tane's own solution to get his wife out of his system is for a big night out, although Mali disapproves. The next morning, Tane introduces Mali to a one-night stand on her way out. Is Tane's coping mechanism healthy?
Meanwhile, Dana is thrilled to be giving back to her new community by taking part in the Bronze Medallion course with John Palmer as instructor. She was warned of John's short temper, but today it is amplified by a lack of caffeine. John's year supply of free coffee has finally expired and he comes down hard on his new students. In particular, he targets a student he nicknames 'Man-bun', although the student corrects John each time with his real name, Banjo.
What to Read Next
John doubles down on his mood, grouching at Harper for being distracting, and insulting Banjo's colourful shorts. Dana is not enjoying the course and confides in her sister that she and the other students are the ones that need saving – from John!
Elsewhere, after Lyrik's return gig, Kirby prepares for a song writing session, but neither Eden nor Remi are around, and none of Kirby's ideas seem to have traction. She scrunches up lyrics and feels stuck. Searching for ideas, she disturbs Theo and Justin amidst wedding planning, offering Theo a welcome diversion of writing together again. But Theo struggles to pull away from his phone and Kirby withdraws in favour of attempting on her own again.
When Theo confronts her change of mind, they agree that some of their best memories are writing together. Perhaps they just need to work at finding a new dynamic. That is something they're both willing to make happen.
