Caught out by Pierce, Chloe squirms with embarrassment. She could explain everything by blowing Ebony's secret, but instead does the noble thing by allowing herself to look bad to protect Pierce's relationship. When Pierce asks Mark to get Chloe to back off, stating she seems obsessed with his relationship, Mark can't hold his tongue any longer, informing Pierce that Chloe is covering for his fiancé. If Pierce really wants to know what's going on, he should ask Ebony.
Chloe has just managed to convince Ebony to tell him the truth when Pierce arrives, needing an explanation. Pierce is stunned to learn the truth about Ebony, but instead of ending things with her, he proposes a difficult choice: a test of the heart. Ebony can either sign a financially binding agreement and begin to rebuild trust within the relationship, or she can take a huge payout now and walk away from him for good.
Ebony shares with Chloe that she does truly love Pierce but fears they will never truly be able to get over her deception. She ultimately decides she loves Pierce and chooses to try and rebuild their trust. Pierce is thrilled, and thanks Chloe for her role in helping Ebony find their way to a more honest version of their relationship.
Chloe still finds herself feeling less than overjoyed by the outcome. Mark challenges her by asking if she's jealous, but Chloe denies it, claiming she's just worried about Pierce as a friend.
Meanwhile, Gary struggles with Amy's desire to have another child. Confiding in Sheila, he worries he's at a point where his childrearing days are behind him. But still feeling insecure in his relationship, Gary feels he must put Amy's needs first. Seeing how Gary, Amy and Kyle are all compromising, and none of them are getting what they truly want, Sheila is torn. She knows she shouldn't meddle, but she wants her family to be happy… and Kyle to stay in Erinsborough.
When Kyle finds out about the baby plans and makes the concrete decision to book his flights, Sheila turns to Paul for help. Believing Gary and Amy's relationship is now making everyone unhappy (even Gary, although he's not ready to see it), they decide to take action. They'll work together to chip away at Gary and Amy's relationship and push Amy and Kyle together.
