Can Colby win Chelsea back? Justin tries to reason with Tori not to go ahead with the implantation without Robbo’s consent—but will she listen?

Extended Summary

Colby speeds along the road, eventually catching up with Chelsea’s car. He beeps her and flashes his lights, telling her to pull over. Although exasperated, Chelsea does so. She tells him there’s nothing more to say but Colby insists he can’t let her go. He grabs and kisses her but she pulls away. She gets in the car but Colby stands in front of it, refusing to let her go. At the Morgan house, Tori is on the phone arranging for cover at work the next day. Justin realises it is because she’s planning to have the implantation then. He tells her she’s doing something she can’t take back. Tori insists she’s in the right legally but Justin questions it morally. Tori leaves.

Robbo and Jasmine are having a lunch break together near the beach, Jasmine dressed in nurse’s scrubs. They discuss being able to focus on them and try to have a last kiss before Jasmine goes off to work, only to end up having several, forcing Jasmine to run. Shortly after, at the hospital, Jasmine asks Tori for a drugs chart and asks how she’s going. Tori says she’s heard nothing from the donor waitlist and Jasmine assures her things will come good eventually.

Chelsea and Colby are sat on the car. Chelsea says that Colby’s a River Boy and there’s nothing wrong with that but she can’t deal with the way he handles things. Colby insists that now he’s got Bella back things will be different. Chelsea thinks he won’t be able to let things go with Ross. Colby says he wants Ross to pay for his parents’ murders but that’s up to Homicide. He says now he has Bella back he wants Chelsea in his life as well and asks if she sees that happening. Cut to them arriving back at her caravan in a passionate embrace. In between kisses, they note that Alf is going to kill them and the caravan is tiny before falling onto the bed.

Maggie comes into the Diner for a protein shake and Alf and Irene tell her she’s looking well. Maggie feels she should be doing more with her training but Mason is holding her back. Irene suggests she go straight to Robbo. At the hospital, Jasmine tells Tori she’s finishing for the day. Tori asks her if she thinks Robbo will change his mind about the IVF one day. Jasmine says she can’t answer that.

Willow is lying on the beach and sees Colby and Chelsea walking past with their arms round each other, noting it looks promising. She asks if she needs to uncancel her matron of honour dress and they admit they haven’t got that far yet but decide to talk about it. Willow says she has to get to work but first calls Dean to let him know. At the gym, Maggie asks Robbo about increasing her training. Robbo says he’d have to get the okay from her doctor first so Maggie says she’ll ask her oncologist at her appointment today. Jasmine comes in and finds Willow studying. Willow feels she’s reading the same things over and over again. Jasmine says she has an anatomy book from her studies that told her everything and Willow can borrow it. She notes she and Robbo haven’t had much time alone and recalls planning a trip before the miscarriage. Willow asks what’s stopping her now.

Robbo and Jasmine are together at Salt. Jasmine suggests that Robbo needs to delegate at work although he points out Mason will be becoming a doctor soon and Willow isn’t qualified. Justin watches them getting on well from the bar and leaves a message for Tori saying they need to talk. Over at the Diner flat, Colby and Chelsea wonder about what Willow said earlier. Colby offers Chelsea the ring back. Chelsea wonders about Bella and where they’d live. Colby says it doesn’t matter and he can’t stay in Summer Bay just for Dean and Willow. Chelsea takes the ring back.

Tori is getting calls from Justin that she ignores. Maggie pops her head in and says Callan has given her the go-ahead for more intensive training. She was hoping to tell Mason: Tori explains he is at home waiting for his results. Maggie talks about being committed. Tori’s phone rings again and Maggie notes someone is obviously trying to get hold of her. Justin enters in person and agrees. Justin and Tori go to the office where Justin again tries to talk her out of going behind Robbo’s back. Tori says it’s about being committed but Justin says she’s ignoring the ramifications. Tori says it might not work and if it does and she gets past twelve weeks Robbo will be happy. Justin thinks she’s putting her desire for a baby over what’s right.

Robbo, Jasmine, Willow, Colby and Chelsea are having drinks together at Salt to celebrate the latter pair’s reunion. They are planning to keep the same wedding date. Colby gets a text from Bella saying she’s had enough of Dean. Chelsea says they’re going to go away together with Bella for a few days to see how the three of them work as a family. Privately, Willow checks with Jasmine that she’s okay to cover if she and Robbo go away. Later, at the Diner, Jasmine lists her ideas of holiday locations to Irene and is favouring Lake Eucumbene. She says to keep it as a surprise although Irene notes Robbo isn’t keen on surprises. Robbo comes in and overhears part of what they’re saying. Jasmine tells him she’s planning something but not to ask.

Tori arrives home and expresses sarcastic surprise that Justin hasn’t said anything. Justin says she never listens anyway. Tori insists what she’s doing is right but Justin says if she really thought that she’d go and tell Robbo. He says he’s going to tell Robbo himself.
