With Ingrid recovering and Freya finally out of the picture, Dani and Ingrid find themselves face-to-face again.

The attraction between them hasn’t disappeared, but neither has everything that happened before. Ingrid insists she’s ready to move on from Stella and wants another chance with Dani — while Dani worries that getting close again could do more harm than good. With Brayden watching from the sidelines, both girls are forced to ask whether wanting someone is enough reason to start again.

Stella, meanwhile, has found an unlikely source of support in Jade. After weeks of instability at home, Jade gives Stella something she desperately needs: someone who listens, takes her seriously and seems genuinely concerned about what happens to her.

But Stella begins to wonder whether their connection means something more.

As the boundaries between teacher and student become dangerously unclear, one impulsive moment threatens to change their relationship completely — and leaves Stella facing another rejection at exactly the moment she feels most alone.

With plans to leave Lilydale and start again somewhere else, Stella has one final relationship she needs to confront.

And when she and Ingrid come face-to-face, both have to decide whether their story is really over.
