The fundraiser night at Salt is in full swing. The residents of the Bay are all dressed up and in high spirits – except for Bree, who’s staring at Remi and frozen in her seat. Xander approaches her and apologises profusely, explaining that he was so focused on organising the event that he didn’t even stop to think about her and Remi.

Bree’s fixated on the fact that Remi can barely look at her. Her mind starts spinning the story that he’s doing completely fine without her. If that’s the case, she thinks, then maybe she should show him that she’s the same.

Bree’s eyes lock onto Levi, who’s chatting away with his sister, completely unaware of what he’s about to be in for. She walks up to him with a cheery smile and pulls him aside, asking to “pick his brain” about the Doctors Without Borders program. Levi is very confused – last time they saw each other, Bree was arguing with him for performing a risky operation on Remi, and she wasn’t happy with him at all.

Bree sits Levi down away from everyone and gets incredibly flirty, laughing at his jokes and leaning into him way more than necessary. Levi is awkward and uncomfortable, setting aside the drinks she keeps ordering for him and trying to excuse himself the first chance he gets.

Bree soon gets extra tipsy and tries to pull Levi up for a dance. Mackenzie watches on from behind the counter, shaking her head. But just as Bree hoped, no-one is more upset at this than Remi, who’s furious but knows Bree is only doing this to get to him. He thinks it’s a very low blow. Eden tries to distract him, but he storms off, unable to bear the sight of it any longer.

The next day, Eden is having coffee with a glowering Remi, who’s still upset by the whole thing. He blames Levi for coming onto Bree. Eden defends him, annoyed – Levi would never do something like that. Still, Remi questions why Levi didn’t do anything to stop Bree’s advances, which is enough to spark doubt in Eden’s mind.

Eden finds Levi later and asks him, very seriously, if he’s having an affair. He’s taken aback for a split second, with panic about to set in – but then he quickly recovers. He tells his sister a white lie – he’s not having an affair ‘with Bree’. Eden, overwhelmed but relieved, apologises for getting the wrong idea. Levi hugs her, relieved to have defused suspicions, but he knows that was too close.
