Paul continues to string Tess along when she hands over the contract of sale for Sincast Corp's share in Lassiters. Krista discovers the report from the expensive mystery shopping firm Tess recommended was bogus.
As Krista shares her suspicions with Paul, he decides it's time to do a deep dive into their accounts, hoping to uncover what Tess and Heath are really up to.
Meanwhile, with Mackenzie on the hunt for further intel on Heath, Sadie's unease peaks and she blurts out that Holly has been seeing Heath on the down-low while he's also sleeping with Tess.
What to Read Next
Determined to save her friend from herself, Mackenzie confronts Holly but, feeling judged, Holly gets her back up.
With things accelerating, Tess orders Heath out to Warrawee Station to confirm the business has been completely wound up. Burned from Mackenzie's dressing down, Holly keenly agrees to accompany Heath to Mt Harper, telling Karl and Susan she's going with a friend from housekeeping.
Before leaving, Heath is confronted by Mackenzie, who reveals she has discovered that he grossly underplayed the extent of his involvement in insurance fraud and knows he's toying with Holly. Heath responds with a menacing threat, leaving her shaken.
Oblivious to Heath's darker side, Holly arrives at an outback homestead with Heath. Enjoying the chance to be free of Tess, Heath switches his phone off and Holly happily follows suit.
Elsewhere, Terese is hurt after Toadie's blow-up at the counsellor's office and feels further on the outer when he doesn't come home to talk things through.
Needing to clear his head, Toadie finds himself by Sonya's tree. Passing by, Melanie gently checks in and Toadie lets his guard down, grateful for her undemanding friendship.
After Mackenzie tells Toadie about Heath's threat, Toadie resolves to give Heath a piece of his mind. Seeing Toadie isn't in the right headspace, Melanie decides to accompany him and the two end up at Tess and Heath's house.
Letting themselves inside, they stumble across Tess and Heath's fake passports along with damning evidence of their embezzlement scheme, but muscle-bound Justin suddenly returns, taking in the unexpected visitors.
As night falls and Toadie still hasn't come home, Terese is surprised to learn from Mackenzie that Toadie was spending time with Melanie. After an anxious night waiting and still not hearing from her husband, Terese seeks out the Kennedys' counsel, only to learn Melanie didn't come home last night, either.
