Cash is doing his best to make Stevie feel at home at his place. She’s still feeling a little awkward, especially having witnessed the tension between him and Eden over her presence, but Cash reassures her – this is where she needs to be and he just wants her to feel safe.

Felicity bursts through the door, in a frenzy as she prepares for baby Maia’s fundraiser. She spots Stevie and freaks out, on the verge of happy tears to see her idol in person. Cash is slightly amused – clearly, Stevie’s presence in his personal life is going to cause some ripples. At that moment, Cash gets a text from Eden, excuses himself and steps outside to meet her.

Eden greets Cash in his front yard. He apologises for making her feel less important in his single-minded mission to protect Stevie. Eden apologises too – she feels like the third wheel in her own relationship and didn’t appreciate coming second to his job.

However, after speaking with Remi, she feels like she can understand his point of view. The two make up – but it’s clear that things are going to be a little strained between Stevie and Eden no matter what.

Meanwhile, Felicity and Xander scramble to get things ready for the fundraiser that night at Salt. Things get tricky when they get a call from the DJ they booked cancelling last minute. Xander needs a plan B for the music that night, and fast. He calls Eden, who happily agrees to fill in with Remi.

When Eden tells Remi, however, he’s taken aback. He digs his heels in, complaining that he doesn’t feel up to it physically just yet – let alone emotionally, as his break-up with Bree a fresh wound on its own.

Eden manages to convince him to just give it a try, promising that they won’t have to be on stage for long and that it’s for a good cause. Remi agrees, and the pair show up that night ready to go. They barely get through the intro of their first song, though, when the last person Remi wants to see walks through the door – it’s Bree, all glammed up and doing her best to live her life without him. How is this night going to unfold?
