Extended Summary

Leah is confused as to why Elijah wants to postpone their wedding. Elijah and Leah talk back and forth with the reasons why Elijah needs to go and reasons why Leah needs him to stay.

Then suddenly a curve ball is thrown in to put even more pressure on the couple, an earthquake in West Danmar. This is exactly the type of disaster Elijah would drop everything and run towards.

Meanwhile Tony is trying to get his head around Rachel’s new overseas job offer from Daniel. Daniel points out that Rachel is the most qualified for the job and Rachel is completely flattered. However, she reels off a list of reasons why she can’t leave and Daniel assures her that everything she has in the Bay, she can have by living overseas too. Rachel then gives Daniel a firmer ‘no’ but he doesn’t stop trying to convince her, and she finally admits that if Tony was up for it, she would take the job.

Penn suddenly turns up in hospital with serious cuts to his hand. When Sid wonders what happened, Penn claims he lost consciousness and can’t remember. But to Sid it looks like Penn has crushed something with his hand, and the whole thing seems suspicious. But things turn weirder when Nicole comes to pick up Penn from the hospital and Penn lies and tells her that Sid has a crush on her – not only that but Sid admitted it himself. All of it is far from the truth and Sid denies it but Nicole is tense and not sure what to believe.
