Extended Summary

After being confronted by Vittorio about her relationship with Liam, Bianca is defensive, telling Vittorio that it’s none of his business what she was doing after he cheated on her. Bianca confronts Alf, angry at him for inadvertently stirring up trouble when he mentioned Liam’s name, but she’s just as angry at herself as she grapples with feelings for both men. Later, Bianca openly talks to Vittorio about her relationship with Liam, explaining that she does indeed have feelings for him. But after he took off at the first sign of trouble, Bianca feels she can’t mean that much to him. On the contrary, Vittorio thinks it means Liam’s feelings for her run very deep and again, Bianca is left to consider this. Feeling closer to Vittorio than she has in days, the two share a kiss and Bianca asks to go back to his hotel room.

Penn arrives at Summer Bay House, ready to stir up some trouble with Miles. He tells Miles that he struggles everyday, not to hurt the people closest to Alf in order to show Alf how much pain he’s caused him. Miles is spooked and tells Romeo and Indi to say away from Penn and to call for help if he ever approaches them. Miles heads to the Diner to get some advice from Leah and Irene, who has also had a visit from Penn – they think Miles needs to involve the Police, but Miles feels that needs to be Alf’s decision. Miles goes to see Alf and they discuss their options, but Alf still feels involving the Police will do more harm than good. Irene tries yet again to change his mind and Alf is left with a tough decision.

Indi is worried about Romeo’s feelings for her. One minute he’s hot, the next he’s cold – she doesn’t feel secure in the relationship. But Romeo relents and tells her he does want to share…they share a kiss and it’s clear he’s asking her to sleep with him. She agrees and the two head to his bedroom, but their bliss is short lived. Moments later, Indi flees the house in tears and Romeo is clearly very confused. He tells Miles that Indi suddenly burst into tears for no reason – does Miles have any idea why that would have happened? Miles doesn’t and tells Romeo he’ll need to talk to Indi. Romeo tries calling, but Indi ignores her ringing phone. Romeo is left with no answers. How did their perfect night turn into this?
