Lucas races around the house as he nervously prepares for his morning of
passion with
Belle. Meanwhile, Belle too, is nervous about meeting up with Lucas. She
collects her
order and heads out of the Diner, bumping in to Drew on her way out. Belle
questions
how many times she has to tell Drew she feels nothing for him but Drew isn’t
convinced
she’s telling the truth. Utterly frustrated, she storms off.
Belle arrives at the house to meet Lucas – both slightly awkward but in no
time things
are getting hot and heavy. Suddenly, Drew’s words enter Belle’s mind and she
insists
that it’s too soon for her and Lucas to be taking things this far. Lucas is
utterly confused
as she gets up and leaves. What just happened?! Lucas tracks down Drew for
advice
but Drew is secretly intrigued to hear nothing happened between Lucas and Belle.
Drew later confronts Belle insisting that if she doesn’t have true feelings for
Lucas then
she shouldn’t hurt him – especially if it’s him that she still loves. Belle’s
defences
weaken and Drew leans in to steal a kiss. Belle recoils and slaps Drew hard
across the
face. Belle rushes off, leaving Drew feeling like a complete fool. Leah arrives
and notices
Drew moping around and questions him on it. Drew decides to spill the beans and
admits he is still in love with Belle.
Belle, meanwhile, has poured her heart to Irene. She is still deeply confused
about her
feelings. Even though she admits she still loves Drew, she does not want to hurt
Lucas
and therefore she will stay with him. Later, Belle is at a table when Lucas
arrives. Belle
apologises for running out before. Lucas understands and they share a kiss but
Belle
tenses as Drew enters. Lucas’s phone rings and he moves off leaving Drew and
Belle
alone. The tension is clear but before anything more can be said, Lucas returns
with the
news he has been accepted in to a traveling writer’s festival and will be
leaving next
week for a 3 week trip. Lucas is stoked but Belle’s heart sinks as she steals a
look to
Drew. Will the temptation be too much for Belle when Lucas is away?
Jack is in a rehab session at the hospital with Sam when she reveals the bad
news that
her landlord has uped the rent and she can’t afford to stay in her house. Sam is
upset
she has to move again. Jack offers to move in with Sam and Rory but Sam is
dubious,
thinking he hasn’t thought it through.
At lunchtime, Sam and Rory head to the Diner where Rory questions if he will
ever get
to live with Jack. She dodges the line of questioning and moves off to the
bathroom.
When she returns her heart sinks – Rory is no where to be seen. Sam and Alf
search
outside near the beach – but still no sign of him. Sam’s panic begins to rise,
fearing the
worst until she receives the call that Rory has made his way to Jack’s house.
Rory
insists he wants to live with Jack. Jack promises him he’s not going anywhere
and will
be there for them no matter what. Sam and Jack share a smile – their family
dynamic is
growing stronger by the day.
