Angelo’s is disintegrating under Heath’s terrible management, so Brax is distracted by putting out all of Heath’s fires. Heath is disappointed when Brax reverses all his changes. Later, Bianca tells Brax that he’d better see Natalie, since she thinks he’s deliberately avoided her. Brax heads off in search of her, only to see Natalie sharing a romantic kiss with Zac. He’s missed his chance and Natalie has moved on.
