While Ric struggles to fight off a determined Viv, Matilda is at the Surf Club having similar problems with Noel. It’s just as Cassie steps in to point out that her friend is underage, and therefore unable to join him for a drink, that Ric finally shows up to make the introduction. Shocked that her boyfriend could ever befriend someone so sleazy, and even more so when she realises that their plans have been cancelled in favour of spending time with him, Matilda mopes her way through the evening – but, after seeing Noah leave the bar with another woman, soon sees why the absent Viv is so keen to pursue other options when it comes to matters of the heart.

Having plied her with alcohol, he takes her to the beach hoping to try his luck. As one thing leads to another, Tam remains blissfully unaware that their rendezvous is about to be caught on camera by a bunch of his friends…
