Brody’s increasingly annoyed by Ziggy’s surveillance of Simone. Tori makes a shock decision about her future. Jasmine fears she’s overstepped the mark with Robbo.
Extended Summary
Tori shows Justin the paperwork which states that after fertilisation has occurred Robbo has no say in whether or not the embryo is implanted. Justin says it’s not about paperwork but about what’s right. Tori insists Robbo won’t be hurt but, with a bit more prompting, agrees to tell him. At Salt, Ziggy serves Willow with an order and stops Simone getting involved. She remarks to Willow that she can’t read Simone; Willow says she’s not getting a bad vibe from her but then she’s tired. Simone comments to Brody that Ziggy’s being a bit full-on but Brody tells her to go with it.
Next morning, Tori comes home to Justin and Mason. Justin notes she went out early and Tori says she just went for a walk. Mason wonders if the post has come, suggesting maybe it came early and worried that some of his friends have already got offers. Justin says he’s on the way to the garage and offers Tori a lift. Tori sharply says that she gave her word. She heads towards the Diner but finds Robbo kissing Jasmine outside. He asks if she was coming to see him but she says she was just getting a coffee.
At the Diner, Maggie chides Ben for looking at his phone while eating. She sees Mason come in and tells him she got the go-ahead for a full training session. Mason says they’ll do an assessment first and that she can come round after breakfast. Tori comes in and Mason asks her about the atmosphere this morning. Tori says she just think it’s unfair she can’t use the embryo. Near the surf club, Robbo tells Jasmine he has to check in at the gym then he’ll give her a lift to work. Jasmine approaches Willow, who is studying at a table, and checks she’s still fine to keep an eye on the gym during the trip away. She admits things are better for her and Robbo since the miscarriage then worries she’s rubbing it in after Willow’s split with Justin. Willow says it’s fine. Robbo comes out and asks Willow to keep an eye on the desk while Mason’s with Maggie.
Tori calls Jasmine into her office at the hospital and asks her to change Robbo’s mind about the IVF. Jasmine refuses and walks out. Tori follows, insisting she’s tried to be a good person. Jasmine says she’s not going to put pressure on Robbo: She hopes things work out for Tori but she needs to find another way, accept Robbo’s decision and move on. Back at Salt, Brody tries to suggest Ziggy has done enough prep but she insists on staying around. Brody warns her that she’s starting to smother Simone. Ziggy says Simone isn’t his soul mate just because she likes food. Brody approaches Simone and checks that Ziggy doesn’t have anything to worry about, asking her to try and get on with her. Simone approaches Ziggy and suggests they do lunch. Ziggy suggests they do prep together instead.
Mason supervises Maggie doing a balance, holding her body up on her hands and feet. He confirms her fitness has gone up. Robbo arrives and Mason tells him Maggie’s passed. Both Robbo and Maggie express slight disappointment that Mason will be leaving soon to become a doctor. At the hospital, Tori approaches Jasmine to apologise. Jasmine says there were both at fault. Tori repeats her frustration. Jasmine says she had to pull Robbo back together after the last pregnancy. Tori points out she went through it too and Jasmine accepts it but says she can’t get Robbo to go through it again.
As Ziggy is helping Simone with her prep work, she asks where she’s planning to go once she’s left Salt. Simone says she’s in no hurry to leave, which Brody seems to be fine with, but Ziggy says she has to leave some time. In the gym, Willow is sitting reading as Jasmine comes in and takes Robbo into the office. She shows him she’s booked them a place by the beach in Fiji. Robbo looks extremely uncomfortable and says he can’t go, abruptly walking out on her.
Ziggy finds Maggie and Mason downstairs in the surf club and tells them she’s fed up of Simone being around. Both of them think she has nothing to worry about but suggest that if Simone is up to something she should find out what. Mason heads home where Justin tells him there’s been no post, leaving him more frustrated. After he’s gone for a shower, Tori returns and tells Justin she’s not going to talk to Robbo because she accepts his decision. Justin says he’ll support her all the way on whatever the next step is. Tori asks for some time by herself. Justin says she made the right decision.
Jasmine finds Robbo at the flat and asks about before. Robbo apologises and explains he and Lauren had their honeymoon in Fiji. Jasmine understands and says she’ll cancel the booking. Robbo likes the idea of a holiday some time but suggests, with Colby and Chelsea away, Jasmine stays over a few nights on what she calls a “staycation”. Meanwhile, Tori is pacing at the hospital. A nurse comes out and tells her the embryo is ready. She asks about Tori’s partner and Tori says she’s flying solo this time. She hesitates and then follows the nurse in.
Simone tells Brody she’s in no hurry to leave Salt and he makes it clear he’s happy for her to carry on working there. Ziggy appears with Simone’s phone and asks why there’s a picture of Brody on it (the one of Simone in chefs whites). Simone asks how she got it and says she changes her photo all the time. Brody tells Ziggy to go; Ziggy is upset he isn’t on her side. Simone offers to change the photo but Brody thinks it’s Ziggy’s problem. Downstairs, Ben and Maggie are reading a text from Coco when Ziggy appears and says Simone’s after Brody and he doesn’t know it.
