Extended Summary

Tony and Rachel are still in disagreement over Daniel’s job offer. Daniel tries to reassure Rachel, telling her she and Tony will work things out, but Rachel’s not convinced. She doesn’t think it’s fair that Tony’s reacting the way he is. She tries to explain to him that it’s an amazing opportunity, but all Tony can see are the negatives. Daniel tells Tony that Rachel is wasting her talents in the Bay, she can’t be challenged and reach her full potential the way she can in the States. Tony takes offence at Daniel’s interference and later confides in Miles that he doesn’t want to leave the Bay because it’s where he buried Jack – he doesn’t want to leave him behind. It’s also the place Harry took his first breath, and that’s hard to walk away from. Miles tells Tony he must share these feelings with Rachel. Tony tells Rachel he doesn’t want to go to America, and Rachel appreciates his honesty, but she need time to think. She heads over to see Daniel and bursts into tears – she wants to go to the States, but Tony doesn’t – what on earth is she going to do?

Angelo is worried that all the feuding at his trial run opening night was a bad omen for the Grand Opening. Charlie tells him not to worry, they’ve had all the bad luck they’re going to, things will be fine. But when Ruby and Liam pull out of performing at the opening and the place is only half booked it looks like Angelo was right – the wheels are falling off. Later, more bookings are cancelled and a dodgy replacement is found for Ruby and Liam. But despite everything Angelo pulls off a successful night – the place is packed and everyone has a wonderful time – it seems Angelo’s is destined for success.

Indi and Romeo are getting closer – enjoying one another’s company and talking to each other on the phone a lot. When Indi asks Romeo to meet him early one morning at the Surf Club, he’s bemused and asks why. Indi tells him it’s a secret – and he’s got until seven o’clock that night to figure it out. If he does, she’ll shout him dinner at Angelo’s. Romeo spends the day guessing but despite some hints from Dex he has no idea what Indi’s secret is. She tells him to meet her at Angelo’s – all will be revealed…he does and learns that Indi has scored a job there – as a waitress.
