Ric jumps up in shock as he realises that Viv’s the one kissing him. The fact of her having a husband and Ric a girlfriend means nothing, and his protests go unheard – until, that is, he decides to jump straight to the point and tell her that he’s simply not interested. But Viv hasn’t given up yet. In response to another of her texts, Ric later heads down to the wharf – a meeting about which he later asks Drew to cover for him – and, accepting her apology, finds himself admitting that, if it weren’t for him having a girlfriend, he’d be interested in her.Either way, it seems that Ric’s never far from Viv’s mind. Having quizzed him on his dreams for the future, she presents him with a voucher for an executive suite at The Sands resort so that he and Mattie can spend some time together. Old habits die hardIt’s Brad’s last day at school and, fittingly, it seems that he and Sally are finally building bridges – but that doesn’t keep him from hosting a meal with some of his nearest and dearest without inviting her. As disastrous as the evening proves to be, courtesy of Rachel’s lack of culinary finesse, it does at least hold one surprise in store: the return of Heather, who happily reveals that she’s starting work at a hospital in Morrison Bay the following week. Not having escaped her notice that Tam appears reluctant to leave her newfound family behind her, Heather’s relieved when Brad steps in with a compromise: an offer of a place to stay until she can find a job locally. His decision to give her some money to keep them afloat, on the other hand, proves less than successful, as he’s soon to find out.ReunitedHeather’s not the only one back in the Bay. With only one more exam to go, Cassie’s counting down the days until her reunion with Henk – and it doesn’t take Belle long to realise that there’s more to this meeting than meets the eye.

Although Cassie does her best to deny it, it appears she’s planning a secret getaway with him. But is she in for a rude awakening? Later that day, Henk turns up unexpectedly and, while she may not have spotted it, he seems somewhat less delighted to see her than she may have hoped…
