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.

Vance races to the resort to find Art packing to leave, but is able to convince his brother to wait while they contest Nancy's Will on the basis of her sanity.

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.
