Eden takes Levi to Remi, who’s looking worse and worse by the minute. After completing a couple of checks, with Remi protesting the whole time – Levi tells him to calm it down with the PT exercises. He also adds a harsh footnote – there’s a difference between wanting to push yourself to recover and punishing yourself because you’ve just been dumped by your girlfriend.

Remi is furious at Eden for telling her brother about the break-up, but she protests, insisting that he needed to know the full story. Levi tells Remi to get with the program and follow him to hospital, as his injuries could be much worse at this point and enough is enough.

Remi makes a fuss about it, but Levi “promises” he’ll send him to Reefton Lakes, a hospital further away with no danger of running into Bree.

With Remi finally out the door, Levi breathes a sigh of relief and tells Eden it’s time to head home – again. However, Eden tells him she knows something’s up. When she called Imogen earlier in the day, she told her that Levi hadn’t been home at all; in fact, he had been staying in the Bay all week.

Eden reassures her brother that she covered for him, but insists on knowing what’s going on. Cornered, Levi says that he told Imogen he was staying with her, and admits to lying to both of them. He tells Eden he has actually been staying in a hotel… because he “needed the space”.

Eden asks if he’s feeling the pressure because of the baby situation. Levi grabs onto this immediately, agreeing that’s why he’s been keeping secrets. How long can he keep up the façade?

Elsewhere, Bree barges into the Diner with a target aimed on Justin’s head. She lets loose at him for fixing Remi’s “death trap” of a motorcycle, then delivering it to his front door. Leah tries to step in and defend him, but Bree storms off before anyone can act.

Back at home, she calms down a little thanks to Xander’s emotional support, but it’s clear that she’s not taking the separation from Remi well.

To top things off, Bree agreed to help John film a practice wedding ceremony (featuring an awkward and unwilling Dana and Xander). However, watching them recite their vows to each other – promising to be there for each other, and love each other for the rest of their lives – proves to be too much for Bree. She confides in Xander again: she has no idea what to do without Remi. What will happen to her without him?
