Everyone is worrying about Aaron's sudden disappearance, but Nicolette is struggling to feel any sympathy. Nicolette knows that Aaron is only acting out of grief, but as far as she is concerned, he's abandoned their family, and left her in the unenviable position of trying to explain to Isla where he's gone.
Isla is clearly troubled by the disappearance of her other father and starts fearing that Nicolette might disappear as well. With Jane's unwavering support, Nicolette is given some time and space to decompress, and for the first time since David's death, she finally releases her own deep feelings of grief.
Meanwhile, Cara is perturbed about Chelsea moving into Paul's penthouse. She knows that Paul is in a bad emotional state and definitely needs looking after, but she questions whether Chelsea is really the right person to do it.
What to Read Next
Remi is thrilled that Chelsea is out of their house and no longer living with them, so she tells Cara that she's not responsible for her sister's actions and to let the matter go.
Later, Chelsea starts throwing her weight around the hotel, believing she has permission to act as Paul's proxy and make wider business decisions, including cancelling Krista's "Lassiters Longest Lie-In" event. Cara can't let it go – her sister is seriously disrupting her workplace and something needs to be done.
Elsewhere, when Terese makes a scathing remark to Melanie while she's picking up rubbish for her community service order, Melanie responds by getting dressed up to the nines in her tiger print and deliberately tempting Toadie.
Watching Melanie's actions, but unaware of the full story, Holly becomes worried and decides to inform Karl. Equally concerned, Karl encourages Toadie to be honest with Terese about what's been going on.
In the meantime, Melanie has already blurted some of the story to Terese. When Toadie comes home with flowers to apologise, Terese is already furious.
