Dex remains in hospital and the Varga-Murphys wait anxiously for results of the bottle analysis in the hope they will provide some answers on his condition.
Leo has had to do a recall of all his vineyard products and his business has taken a bit of a hit. When Andrew informs them all the bottle analysis is inconclusive, Leo feels guilty for not handing the bottle over sooner. He asks his staff to search their dashcam footage from the day, hoping to pick up anything unusual.
Aaron lets him know that a popular true crime podcast has picked up the story, but they don't have much to go off yet. Leo discovers there is dashcam footage of drug dealer Shannon at the vineyard at the time the suspected sabotage occurred.
What to Read Next
Meanwhile, tension lingers between Haz and Mackenzie over her harsh words to Amira, causing Amira to book a flight home. Mackenzie makes a sincere apology to her, admitting her desire to repair things with Haz clouded her better judgement.
Touched by the genuine regret, Amira admits Mackenzie wasn't entirely wrong about her – she has been a bit overbearing as she felt guilty for being apart from Haz for so long.
Amira still decides to leave, thanks to a work emergency back home, but it's on much better terms with Mackenzie and with Haz.
Elsewhere, Toadie's ban of Nell and JJ remains. Nell thinks it's unfair, claiming Toadie has it all wrong. She argues that JJ isn't a bad influence, just a friend going through a hard time, but Toadie is unwavering.
JJ and Haz share a conversation about moving on from past mistakes and building trust with others again. It inspires JJ to go help at the community centre, which delights Nell. They muck around but get caught by Toadie.
JJ makes an impassioned plea that he is here to volunteer and wants to prove he's trustworthy, but it doesn't go well. Toadie reiterates that JJ needs to stay away, humiliating Nell.
Terese questions Toadie about his harsh stance. Toadie admits Nell is nearly the same age Sonya was when she first started having issues and fell pregnant with Callum, and he doesn't want Nell making the same mistakes.
Terese appreciates the concerns, but she points out that Sonya and Nell are two different people, and the more uncompromising he is, the more it'll make Nell rebel.
Nell and JJ vent over the phone, with Nell ignoring the ban and inviting him over while her family is out. They share a moment of intimacy, before being sprung by Toadie.
