Yaz's late-night break into Rhonda's office yields results that she quickly embarks on exploiting. An oblivious Holly attends another session with Rhonda, where Holly learns that despite her fears, Rhonda believes she's on the right path to regaining control of her life.
When Yaz sees Holly vulnerable after her session, she attempts to trick her into saying something to incriminate herself but wanting to keep work her safe space, Holly remains silent on what happened in the Outback. Yaz's frustrations grow.
Meanwhile, Vera returns home and learns from Jane that Max is being kicked out of the share house and is dismayed to learn why. Determined to change her housemates' minds, Vera invites them all to a Christmas Day brunch with her own unique twist and won't take no for an answer.
What to Read Next
Fed up with Vera lording over them, Byron, Sadie, Nicolette and Max all agree that Christmas should be about spending time with friends and family. But they're unaware Vera has heard every word and is devastated.
Elsewhere, stung over Yaz's apparent rejection after sleeping together, Nicolette is challenged by Aaron to ask Yaz for her reason instead of catastrophising. Nicolette reluctantly does and is pleasantly surprised when Yaz gives her a reasonable explanation.
Later, Nicolette thanks Aaron and gives him a framed letter that pronounces his formal adoption of Isla. Aaron is incredibly moved, and when Jane sees the lengths Nicolette has gone to for Aaron and to make amends, she impulsively asks Nicolette to move back home in time for Christmas.
Also today, the Varga-Murphys scramble with last-minute preparations before they fly to New York on Christmas Day, all aware of the trip's importance. Dex spots Sebastian camping out along Power Road.
