Terry Adams's lost 'nest-egg' continues washing up on Broken Bay's beaches and after a punch up in the surf, Art and Vance score some waterlogged cash.

Art and Vance concoct a plan that will allow Art to continue with his travel writing but seem to comply with the terms of Nancy's will. However, Eve warns Art not to trust his brother and sets about gathering dirt on Vance.

Art has decided to stay in Broken Bay, but when his girlfriend, Lara, visits him from overseas, it causes problems with Eve. Vance is having romantic problems of his own and decides to expose Melanie's affair with Terry.

Josh is still missing - along with Art's laptop - and the friction between Art and Suzy builds. And Melanie, now abandoned by Vance, has no enthusiasm for her schemes with Terry Adams.

Confronted with a demolition order for the resort, Art enlists a reluctant Eve to help him apply for heritage status for the Far Out East.

Art wakes up, five months on since he and Vance re-opened their parents' 70s backpacker hostel, lying next to Eve in a lovers' embrace, and counts his blessings. The brothers are getting on well, and business is starting to pick up.
