Extended Summary

Kyle and Billie talk in the morning – it’s clear they hooked up. Kyle is adamant that it can’t happen again. Billie ignores Kyle’s protests and continues to flirt with him. Later, she asks Ash what Kyle’s deal is. She also mentions she’s thinking of staying in Summer Bay, maybe calling it home. So Ash decides to ask Kyle on her behalf if she can stay at the share house on a more permanent basis. Kyle immediately shuts it down making the excuse that Andy’s room is still his, even if he’s never there. Ash decides to go directly to Andy to convince him to move in with Hannah. Andy’s surprised at the suggestion but doesn’t squash it immediately. Meanwhile, Kyle goes to Billie and tells her that no matter what Ash is trying to make happen, Billie cannot move in. She has to say no.

Andy tells Hannah he’s passed his personal trainer exam and she’s thrilled. She suggests a fancy dinner to celebrate but Andy says they should invite Oscar too – what a way to kill the romantic vibe. Andy mentions he’s sort of been mentoring Oscar at the gym and he’s doing really well. At breakfast Hannah brings it up with Oscar who seems unsure about the whole thing, which leaves Hannah concerned. After more overexcitement from Andy whilst at the gym, in a way to escape Oscar offers to close up so Andy can head off to dinner with Hannah. Turns out Hannah has brought along Phoebe, Ash & Billie to dinner to help celebrate. Halfway through, Hannah goes to the gym to check why Oscar isn’t at dinner yet – he admits to her he’s just frustrated working with Andy. He’s the most trying boss who’s already so invested in developing Oscar’s “future career”. Hannah advises that with Andy, you just have to be blunt. They arrive back at dinner just in time for Andy to ask Hannah (in front of everyone) how would it be if he moved in permanently? Hannah’s surprised and Oscar, faced with Andy full-time at home and at work, quits on the spot. Ash tells Billie that it looks like the room is hers if she wants it – will she move in or heed Kyle’s request?

Phoebe’s back in the Bay and Ash tells her about him & Denny breaking up. He also mentions that Kyle hasn’t been in a good way lately. Phoebe realises it was a good time for her to come back. She then runs into Kyle outside Angelo’s, so Phoebe asks if she can buy him a coffee? Kyle is cold and brushes her off, surprising Phoebe. She later admits to Hannah that she was expecting a beautiful reunion with Kyle upon her return and they’d get back together, but instead he just shut her down. Hannah convinces Phoebe to come to dinner with her and Andy; It’d be the perfect opportunity to talk to Kyle. At Angelo’s, Phoebe follows Kyle into the store room to talk to him. He thaws to her concerned approach but insists they talk later, not at work. Phoebe decides to go to the share house later that night but before she knocks, she overhears Kyle talking to Billie. They’re discussing the spare room and Kyle is furious she still decided to move in. He repeats that what happened last night can not happen again. No one can know they slept together – which Phoebe overhears.
