No.30 (Flashback)
Melanie is crying over a wedding photo but stops as Toadie arrives home. Toadie has been suffering listening to Mike and Kyle's music!
TOADIE: Let's hope this song writing weekend includes actual lessons!
Toadie realises something is up but Melanie denies it. Melanie feels bad about not sorting the van out but Toadie doesn't think she should blame herself. She thinks she put Hugo in danger. Toadie comforts her and realises she is tense. He thinks she shouldn't be so hard on herself and she heads out the door.

Terese is planning everything as Imogen introduces herself to Melanie. Leo and Elly are talking about wines as David excuses himself, Melanie does the same thing. They spot Eden through the doors as Paul watches them. Chloe stops Melanie and David to hang flowers.
Penthouse (Flashback)
Melanie is agitated as David worries about keeping Aaron out of the loop. Aaron, Nicolette and Paul arrive and want to know what's going on. Melanie is reluctant to be honest as she doesn't want to drag everybody into this.
MELANIE: I'll only tell you if you promise not to say a word to Toadie.
No.22 (Present Day)
Melanie tells everyone she told the others the whole story. When Melanie had told everything she felt so relieved. Melanie and Krista planned to meet up that evening. Melanie wasn't going to leave the rooftop without having it out with Krista.
Lassiter's Rooftop (Flashback)
Krista wants to know if Melanie has the money, she doesn't. Melanie doesn't plan to give Krista any more money ever again. Krista really wants the money and convinced being married to Toadie means Melanie has money.
MELANIE: You need professional help and I can help you get it.
KRISTA: You can't afford for this to come out.
Melanie thinks Eden is behind this. Krista keeps begging. Melanie reaches the end of her tether and pushes Krista into the small pool. Krista hits her head on the side of the pool and falls in unconscious. Melanie screams in terror and rushes in to save Krista.
Melanie narrates that she dragged Krista out. Krista's phone was on the bottom of the pool. Krista wasn't breathing so Melanie started doing resuscitation.
No.22 (Present Day)

DAVID: It's time to do the right thing Paul.
Lassiter's Complex (Present Day)
Everyone is heading through the Complex with the police officers. Paul wants to know what Melanie was thinking. She knew the truth would be found out one day.

Paul waits alone to be interviewed. Andrew and Senior Sergeant Thompson arrive to interview him. The others have been interviewed.

Lassiter's Rooftop (Flashback)
Paul looks for Krista but can't find her. There is a bit of blood on the floor. Eden appears, they know who the other is.
EDEN: My reputation precedes me... Tragedy is what happened.
Eden tells Paul he's done a good deed for Paul. Eden reminds Paul with the wedding ahead that it's not good for the truth to be revealed. Paul gets his phone out to call the police. Eden points out Paul would have already done that if he'd planned to. Paul denies any involvement, Eden knows it's his hotel and this would cause a huge scandal. Eden thinks they can do a deal and has planned it out. Paul agreed to it and paid Eden $500,000.

THOMPSON: A very good option... to call us then and there.

Paul arrives back and David wants to know if the police know. Paul is refusing to tell the police. Melanie points out Krista is still by the pool. He tells them Krista has disappeared.
Police Station (Present Day)
PAUL: He was always dead against the idea. So none of this should reflect on him.
Penthouse (Flashback)
The others are wondering how they'll be implicated in this. They realise it would be bad for David as he's on probation. Melanie feels bad for getting them all involved. Paul thinks he's done what's in everyone's best interests, David doesn't agree.
DAVID: It's best for you and your reputation.
PAUL: This is about keeping you out of jail.
Paul points out that there could be serious charges against David and Melanie. He thinks they should keep schtum as Eden has covered the death up. Nicolette agrees, she doesn't think Isla should lose David again.
Police Station (Present Day)
Paul tells the officers he wanted to protect both Melanie and David. Eden is the one they should go after and has been trying to get more money out of Paul. Paul refused.

Toadie has been reminiscing about their wedding day, Melanie agrees it was a wonderful day. Melanie finds a pig charm she intends to give Terese for her purse for the something borrowed bit.

The Waterhole (Present Day)
David tells everyone they've got permission to leave after giving their statements. They shouldn't travel too far away. Jane now realises they moved after what happened, they didn't just want a change. David couldn't be near Paul after he 'sorted' things out in his own way or have his family do the same. Terese wants to know why they didn't let anyone know the next day?David tells them that they were overruled.
Penthouse (Flashback)
David still wants to go the police. Paul refuses as he's given the money to Eden. Melanie offers to confess and not mention the others to the police. Nicolette doesn't think that would work.
NICOLETTE: We're all implicated whether we like it or not.
Aaron and Nicolette don't want David to return to jail. Nicolette wants to think about Isla plus Melanie's family. Melanie wants to confess because of her family. Nicolette is convinced the only option is to not say anything. Paul gets them to agree and is heading off to the vow renewal.
DAVID: Can you look Terese in the eye after what you've done?
Leo arrives and they head off.
Rooftop (Present Day)
David didn't think he had got through to Paul. Everyone gathers for the wedding ceremony, including Elly and Chloe. Terese has decided to do the same as Melanie and go first.
TERESE: One year ago, we were guests at another wedding, but we were about to go our separate ways. Then we got back together. I'm sure a few of you are wondering what happened. We talked about who we are as people. I told you that you're it for me. It's Paul and I'm ok with that. You've surprised me. You're far from the model citizen, you're not far from it. You did that for me. I'm really grateful.
Terese goes to read her poem when Paul stops her.
PAUL: I'm so sorry. I can't do this.
Paul heads out of the ceremony as a distressed Terese looks after him.
The Waterhole (Present Day)
Terese now realises that is the reason Paul called off the vow renewal.
DAVID: He said he loved you too much to hurt you.
TOADIE: His actions caused a lot of pain.
Terese needs to head outside. Toadie heads after her.
Lassiter's Complex (Present Day)
Terese heads out into the complex and is breathing heavily. Toadie tries to talk to her but she's looking for Paul, he and Melanie are by the Police Station.
TERESE: How could you do this to me? To your son? To Melanie?
PAUL: I wasn't thinking straight at the time.
Paul is sorry and wanted to protect all those involved. Terese points out he covered up a death. Paul did it because he loved her. She cuts him off, she accepted him for being Paul. She thinks they could have worked things out if he had been honest.
TERESE: You lied.
TOADIE: You should have been honest too Melanie.
MELANIE: I'm sorry. I should have been.
TERESE: Honesty. The two of you don't know the meaning of it.
