Toadie tells Nell about Big Kev's cancer and offers her the option of staying in Erinsborough, although he rules out Nell staying with Terese because of her struggle with sobriety. Shocked to learn Terese has had more than one slip-up, Nell reveals the deal she made with Terese to hold onto her secret with Toadie, who is furious.
Having been encouraged by Paul to fight for what she wants, Terese tackles Toadie again, but he is adamant that she needs to prioritise herself. Terese apologises to Nell, who admits she'd prefer to stay with Terese if she had the choice, but Terese is certain Toadie is immovable on the subject.
Nell nonetheless tackles her father, pointing out that she moved to Colac for him and asking him to repay the favour by letting her do something she wants to do. Remorseful, Toadie goes back to Terese with an apology and a rethink on his decision.

Meanwhile, Cara continues to recover in hospital, holding on to her stoic demeanour. Dex simmers with rage toward Holly, who he believes caused his mother's injuries. He asks Cara why she isn't more angry and Cara admits she blames herself for the accident and asks him not to hang onto animosity on her behalf.
When Dex spots Holly laughing and seemingly care-free at Harold's, he tears strips off her for what he perceives to be her callousness - a development that newcomer Yaz notes with interest.
Yaz continues to make in-roads on her hit-list of people to interrogate, trying to get more detail from Blaze about what happened in the outback under the guise of being a podcast fan.

Holly is feeling proud of herself – until Dex tears strips off her again. Nevertheless, she puts on a brave face when she farewells her father, even though it's obvious she's struggling.
Later, she delivers room service to Yaz's room, and Yaz takes advantage of the opportunity to further their relationship, compassionately noting Holly's subdued demeanour. It's too much for an overwhelmed Holly who becomes emotional, offering Yaz the perfect excuse for drawing Holly further into her web as she comforts her...
