Any hope for a new beginning is quickly dashed when Toadie and Dee's unexpected kiss begins to flood Toadie with memories of everything that has come before. His marriage to Dee, his life with Sonya, the manipulations of Andrea. It all becomes too much and Toadie panics, fleeing the house and leaving Dee deeply regretful.
By the time Toadie returns home, a confused and guilty Dee has done what she felt was best and returned to Byron Bay. Desperate to make things right, he tracks Dee down and seizes his chance to clear the air. Although disappointed, Dee concedes neither of them are ready for anything to happen between them, as she too has a lot of things to work through.
The pair say a heartbreaking goodbye, both hopeful that somewhere down the road, the stars will align and they will meet again when they're ready.
Meanwhile, after triggering Bea's memories of Patrick whilst on their date, Finn is finding it increasingly difficult to navigate their complicated relationship. When his anxiety begins to get in the way of them taking their relationship to the next level, he seeks counsel from a slightly wary David.
Yashvi suggests Bea do something to help Finn focus on the present and remember that he isn't the person he once was. Bea concocts a cheeky strip-tease game to help them say goodbye to the past. It successfully sends them on their way to the bedroom, but they later emerge to discover their discarded clothes have vanished. Bea and Finn are left thoroughly unsettled at the thought that someone has been lurking in the Kennedy house.
