Extended Summary
Tasha explains to Robbie that her cash (from the sale of the caravan park) is burning a hole in her pocket and she wants reinvest it. She’s already done one thing, but won’t tell him what it is yet.
Everyone’s gathered for the viewing of Robbie’s commercial. There’s great anticipation as Robbie pushes ‘play’, only to discover his voice has been dubbed over! His devastation is interrupted by Colleen who bustles over to Tasha – it’s a wonderful gesture but she simply can’t accept it. Tasha’s paid off her debts with the bank and bought her mobile home back. Tasha explains she felt she owed Colleen. After all, she was the one who sold the caravan park from under her. Colleen eventually accepts. Josie gets a little funny about all this talk of money and finances. Later, Jesse comes round to say goodbye to Josie and she reveals to him she’s broke. Jesse’s stunned!
Irene has got wind that Leah and Dan are having their reception at the Surf Club and she’s not impressed. It’s like sleeping with the enemy! Tasha tells Kim she wants to buy Jesse’s share of the gym for the baby – like an early present. Kim will have trust of it until the baby’s 18.
Josie tells Tasha she’s been thinking that maybe it’s time to leave the Bay. Tasha can’t believe what she’s hearing – and wonders why she’s had such a sudden change of heart. But Josie is giving nothing away… Tasha drags Josie down to the boat wharf – last year, when Josie went out on the boat, it made her realise Summer Bay was her home. Whilst out on the boat Josie and Scott find themselves confiding in each other – Scott about Hayley and Kim; Josie about how her feelings for Jesse seem to be remerging.
Jesse tells Tasha the real reason why Josie wants to go – she’s broke. She invested a lot of her own cash in the resort and when it went under – so did her bank account. Tasha and the others are amazed that Josie went to such lengths to save the Bay – it only goes to show what an amazing person she is. On hearing this, Tasha feels even more compelled to make Josie stay.
Tasha tells Josie she’s put a deposit on the apartment for her and has a cheque for $50,000 so Josie can set up whatever business she likes – in partnership with Tasha, of course. Josie doesn’t feel right accepting this but Tasha makes a heartfelt speech – this is where she belongs now.
Hayley and Kim tell Scott they’re going to be partners in the gym! Scott congratulates them, but really he’s concerned this gives them even more reason to spend time together.
Josie and Jesse explore their feelings for one another and sleep together. There’s a slight awkwardness as Josie verbalises how weird it feels – she’s missed him for so long, wanted that again – but now that it’s happened… Jesse feels the same way – it’s not like it used to be, something’s changed… Josie agrees – they’re actually over each other?
Closure with Jesse makes Josie realise she might have feelings for someone else – Scott! Meanwhile, Scott’s distracted and Beth wants to know what wrong. Scott admits he took her advice and is determined to deal with what he now understands is his problem (Kim and Hayley getting closer) – but now with the gym … he thinks he needs to take action to stop Hayley drifting away. He has an idea… Scott finds Hayley on way to work and asks her to marry him! Hayley’s stunned!
