Feeling like he has perhaps gone too far, he is convinced by Heather to double down on that bluff or else have her know that she will always be able to manipulate him. With those plays going into night leading to both Harry and Manju having little to no sleep, something happens in the morning to change the face of their standoff. Meanwhile, Stuart is on his way back to Melbourne on a business trip, Liz who, on their last telephone call, stating that they need to talk in Stuart's belief that she had an affair. Liz has to decide exactly how she is going to broach the topic of the "issue" with him. And Ben is finally going on a date about which Ainsley discovers.

However, Liz, without even telling Harry, takes it upon herself to convince the somewhat reluctant housemates for Manju to move in temporarily with them, Liz's motives solely to ease her conscience about throwing Harry under the bus with regard to Stuart and deflect attention away from having not being totally forthright with Stuart about her marital indiscretion. In addition to discovering a secret Manju has been hiding, Liz will discover whether her self-directed penance is something to which she can adhere, while Harry has to deal with what ends up being Manju's martyrdom to inflict more guilt on him. Meanwhile, Mel does whatever she can to move her and Ben's "mates only" relationship into the sexual realm. Mel's presence in the house as that predator not only has an effect on Heather, but on Ainsley as well.
