Number 28
After pulling apart from the kiss, Andrew comments that they can't do that in the house even though Holly adds in that Karl/Susan won't be home for ages. He then apologises for pushing her away, he was fearful to admit how he was feeling about her. Holly gets it and given they both feel the same about each other, asks what are they going to do? "I don't know," is his reply back because "so many people stand to get hurt" but then seconds later, adds in that he can't walk away from her/what they are doing. Holly takes this admission as meaning they can properly be together especially given her feelings for him is "only getting stronger."
HOLLY: I want the real thing.
ANDREW: So do I.
After Holly's admission that she is falling for him, Andrew replies that its reciprocal, he is falling for her too. When Andrew leaves to attend a meeting, Holly literally looks like she is on cloud 9!
Lassiters Complex
The complex is set up for the grand sale with Wendy in her element as she helps Toadie and Nell with the finishing touches.
Meanwhile, Taye checks in with Max and if he's heard from Holly - that would be a no, because he is doing as requested and giving her space. He seriously wants to know what is going on with her but Taye urges patience, she will tell when she's ready. In turn, Max wants to know from him how things are going with Sadie and its good despite the copious amounts of skincare products that Taye doesn't need!
Harolds café
After spotting Jane sitting in the café, Cara heads over to ask what she's done to upset Nicolette. Jane reassures Cara that it isn't her, it's just "Nicolette being Nicolette!"
Meanwhile as they enter the café, Wendy tries to persuade Sadie to help out with the grand sale. The lass isn't keen until she hears that Taye will be involved… and then she is suddenly keen to help!
Lassiters Complex
Sadie/Wendy come bearing coffee's to the helpers and Taye's eyes literally light up when Sadie comes over with his coffee!
Nell is a bit despondent that nobody is stopping to look at what is on sale, so they quickly brainstorm how they can attract people to stop.
Andrew momentarily stops to look at his wife (as they put her brainstorming idea into fruition) but his face looks like he's just won the booby prize in the raffle.
The Waterhole
Cara (and Andrew when he finally appears) is trying to convince their boss that the Linwell brothers are behind the robberies even if they are currently inside but we hear are due to be paroled soon. Andrew's mind though is elsewhere… in bed with Holly via a flashback.
Number 28
And when we cut to #28, it looks like Holly is still dreaming of him too from the look on her face.
The Waterhole
Andrew is caught daydreaming when the boss asks for his thoughts, and he is quick to come back to the presence and back Cara up. With Andrew's 'endorsement' the boss reluctantly gives Cara permission to carry on as long as Andrew oversees things… that is again if he can help his mind off Holly!
Number 28
Holly is still daydreaming about Andrew when the K's interrupt to ask her about parsnip soup!
Harolds café
After Cara's chat with her, Jane decides its time to talk to Nicolette but she's thinks that until Remi/Cara are back together, her strategy is to avoid Cara at all costs! Jane can see daughter is doing the right thing and just as she says that, Cara enters the café and Nicolette tries to do a runner into the kitchen but Cara simply follows her in there!
Cara is annoyed, on her cousin's behalf, and accuses Nicolette of ghosting Maddy after she answered Nicolette's booty call. "That's not what happened," Nicolette pleads but then seems to get herself more tongue- tied over coming up with an explanation over why she's not been in contact with Maddy. Cara can sense there is a proper reason, and not the crap Nicolette is currently saying! Eventually Cara pushes the right buttons to get Nicolette to tell the truth - where she admits she has feelings… for Cara!
Lassiters Complex
The brainstorming worked and people are now stopping to look/buy things.
Sadie gets her mum to try on a hat and Toadie decides to take a photo to show what Andrew is missing out on… except unknown to them, he's standing looking at them [in the background] still with a face that says, 'booby prize winner'.
Meanwhile, Taye tries his best to chat Sadie up but she's not exactly falling for his charm.
Number 28
Remi is surprised to see Holly at home rather than being at the grand sale - she uses the excuse she needs to rest ahead of working as to why she isn't there and then decides to escape to her room to get herself ready.
When Cara arrives wanting a word with Remi, the K's give them space by heading outside to the garden.
Playing on the side of caution so Remi doesn't hear it by chance, Cara tells her "Nicolette has feelings for me" but adds too that she forced it out of her as Nicolette wasn't going to say anything. Remi looks taken aback at this revelation and Cara is quick to then add she isn't interested in Nicolette… or anyone! Remi doesn't look too sure on how to reply other than thanking Cara for telling her!
Lassiters Complex
After adding up the totals, Toadie declares the grand sale a success! However, chatting about that is sidelined in favour of chatting about relationships - Max/Taye over Sadie [on how they are going from friendzone to possible flirt zone] and Nell moaning to her dad on how JJ hasn't responded to her text messages.
Ramsay Street
Andrew sits in his car and moves the seductive photo of Holly from the recycle bin back into his photo album. Thankfully it's all done before Toadie surprises him and he quickly makes up his excuses over why he didn't help out at the grand sale. Toadie is full of praise over how great Wendy was and seems to pick up that Andrew isn't fully with it. However, Andrew recovers quickly and the pair tentatively agree to a catch up before Toadie heads back to Colac.
The Waterhole
Over a drink, Taye asks Sadie for them to hang out "but without any of the games" the pair seem to be playing with each other. While she is quick to agree to his suggestion (but it's a hard no to refunding him on the facial stuff he bought!) she feels its "too soon for anything serious." Taye is quick to agree with her on that because he's "never had anything serious with a girl" and would like to cut out the shenanigans to properly get to know her. Sadie likes his idea of them dating without any pressure.
Taye heads headed off to go work at the Piano Bar and moments after Holly arrives for her shift, Sadie stops her to panic chat about the fact she and Taye are dating! However, while Holly mutters reassurance to Sadie that "I'm sure it'll be fine" and that she shouldn't worry, it isn't really what Sadie is after from her bestie, but it's all she is getting as Holly walks off to start her shift leaving Sadie somewhat bemused over what has happened.
Harolds café
Nicolette is cleaning up when Cara enters the café and tries to clear the air following the admission she heard earlier. Nicolette admits the feelings [for Cara] sneaked up on her "by surprise" and while Cara admits to being "really flattered" she is firmly "a one- woman- woman." Cara does add though that she values their friendship (ditto for Nicolette) and hopes they can return to how things were beforehand.
NICOLETTE: Yes please!
On hearing that Remi knows about her feelings, sarcastically Nicolette calls out "wonderful!" but does get why Cara told her. Sincerely, Cara has loved having Nicolette by her side and the pair friendly hug each other as a step back to normality with one another.
But of course, guess who walks into the café just as they are doing that… yip, Remi! Earlier, while Cara told her about Nicolette's feelings towards her she saw it as almost being amusing, this time the serious 'I'm not happy' face is on!
Number 22
Nell has asked the K's to #22 (Terese and Toadie are there too) to tell them she has "decided to give Colac another go" to "be a family again" with her dad, brother and Nan. Even though the trio will miss her, they are fully behind her move back, although Terese needs a bit more reassurance that it isn't down to her New York plans, to Colac although she promises to come back and visit.
The Waterhole
Holly's boring night lightens up when Andrew comes into the bar to see her because he "can't stop thinking about this morning." Holly feels the same and agrees that they've "got so much to talk about" and conveniently the pair have manged to wrangle a free day from their schedules tomorrow.
Number 30
Cara is surprised to see Remi given that the boys aren't in but she's happy they have the house to themselves as Remi wants to talk to Cara about Nicolette. "You don't have to worry about that," Cara informs her as she's cleared things up with Nicolette, who "gets it." However, when Remi doesn't say anything back, Cara reiterates to her that she talked with Nicolette "and it's all good." Remi now reveals she saw them talking… and hugging! Cara goes to defend the 'nothing' hug they shared, adding that they "literally just have the weirdest friendship" but it turns out that it's a 'lost in conversation' moment because Remi is seeking clarity that she isn't being too demanding of Cara.
CARA: I don't… but I'm not interested in Nicolette.
Remi confesses that this whole thing has got her thinking that she really does want to remember her life with Cara but then adds that "there's also no guarantees." Cara gets that and Remi continues by giving Cara a free pass to move on if she can't remember her as "it's not fair."
CARA: I don't want to move on.
REMI: Yeah, not today maybe, but you might in the future. And if things do change, I'm not going to stand in your way. I want you to be happy and if there's the slightest chance that that might be with Nicolette, in your mind, then… What I'm saying is, you should stay open to it.
