Andrea is privately pleased when she learns Toadie is not looking for Dee and she puts the next phase of her plan into action. She manifests a series of made-up misfortunes: she gets fired from her cleaning job, struggles with the anxiety about Heather being sighted nearby, and claims her lease is up and she's about to be homeless.
Seeing how affected Willow is by Andrea's struggles and her worry this will set back her mother's mental health, Toadie offers to loan Andrea a small amount to stay at the hotel.
Later, Heather is sighted checking into a hostel in the city and only just gets away from the police after Andrea warns her to run. It looks like Heather has vanished again… until Andrea finds her loitering in her apartment.
Meanwhile, Chloe is incensed after Ebony tells her to back off. She looks for advice from Kyle, who tells her to keep out of it, but Chloe can't let it go. Worried that Pierce is being taken for a ride, she warns him to look further into Ebony and not be so quick to accept her at face value. After Pierce speaks with Ebony about the tension between her and Chloe, Ebony makes a show of apologising to Chloe. But Chloe can see right through her passive aggressive olive branch.
Wanting to mend her relationship with Mark and needing his brotherly advice, Chloe approaches him for help. He suggests she bide her time – if Ebony really is a gold digger and isn't being genuine, she'll slip up eventually. Chloe takes his advice and changes her attitude, acting as the perfect EA to Ebony – leaving Ebony confused by Chloe's about-face. But will Ebony really slip up and reveal her hand?
