Paul refuses to be taken down by Lyn's words and accuses her of trying to get him back for herself. Lyn baulks at the suggestion as Paul warns her that she'll never convince himself or Terese to end things. However, when Paul has a vivid daydream about Terese leaving him, he's left rocked by the experience.
Terese notices his strange mood and assures Paul that soon they'll be married and honeymooning in Europe, away from his meddling exes. However, Lyn tells Sheila that Paul's luck is about to run out, suggesting she knows there's more trouble coming.
Meanwhile, Roxy is gutted to learn she and Leo are going to lose the bar. Desperate, Roxy is willing to go into business with Paul to stay afloat, but Leo tells her Paul will never agree as she's too inexperienced. Saddened, Roxy finds comfort with Mark and is able to get her mind off things by giving into some sexy fun with him. Mark maintains that they keep their trysts a secret and Roxy is happy to oblige – it's more fun that way.
Roxy's turnaround in demeanor in the face of the bar tragedy makes Harlow suspicious and when she catches Roxy exchanging a string of texts, she becomes intrigued. Roxy continues to receive salacious texts from Mark and Harlow happens to see one of them. Harlow's shocked by the discovery and Roxy panics that her secret is out. Harlow sees Elly entering the café and calls her over, teasing Roxy that she'll tell Elly about Roxy's fling with Mark. As Elly approaches, Roxy fearfully waits to see what Harlow will say. Will Harlow bust her secret?
Elsewhere, following her break-up with Elly, Chloe becomes a heartbroken cliché, bursting into tears and confining herself to her room with only Netflix and chocolate for company. Pierce clocks her hurt and admits to Amy that he wants to help Chloe out of her slump, but he's aware he's not the right person to help her given their history.
Later, Amy presents Chloe with a voucher for an extravagant shopping spree, which successfully gets Chloe out of the house. But Chloe quickly realises Pierce must've been behind the idea and is grateful for his friendship. Pierce is relieved to be getting closer to Chloe again, but will he be able to keep his true feelings at bay while she mends her broken heart?
