It’s the first shoot day for All Our Tomorrows and Stevie hasn’t shown up on set. While Nelson frantically searches for the star of his film, she knocks back the drinks at home in a full-blown crisis of confidence.
Cash desperately tries to convince Stevie to go to work, especially when he himself starts fielding calls from the director. Eventually, he gets through to her and she does show up for filming, albeit late. Immediately clocking that Stevie is drunk, Nelson is furious and sends her straight to make-up. He even issues a warning to Cash that this cannot happen again.
Meanwhile, Harper and Dana discuss the subpoenas they’ve received to give evidence against Tane. Dana is not surprised to receive hers, given that she let him into the hospital in the first place, but she never thought her sister could be dragged into it.
Harper catches up with Tane and breaks the news that she’ll be testifying against him. Tane knows she has no choice, but suggests they give each other some space. When he breaks the news to Marshall though, he’s pleased – this means he can cross-examine them and potentially twist their words to their advantage.
Elsewhere, Kirby works at Mantaray Boards and proudly boasts to Rose that she got a guy’s number during her first surf lesson. Mali can only watch as his new starter ditches work to go to lunch and leaves him with unfinished work when she does.
Finally, she gossips loudly at work about Levi and Mackenzie’s relationship, something he’d already asked her not to do. When he finally does reprimand her, she is less than receptive, and it’s clear Mali is not happy with how things are progressing. Was hiring Kirby a terrible mistake?
