Hannah and Nathan’s marriage is in turmoil in the wake of her heartbreaking confession about the night before their wedding.
As Nathan leaves and takes some time out to think, Hannah tries to throw herself into work. With Christie and Fi’s actions potentially compromising her case, Hannah sets out on a mission to turn the vicious media storm circling around Fi on its head and tell the truth about who Richie Hansen really is.
Meanwhile, Nina has a surprise visitor, Rose starts a new job, and Zander and Tyler (Damien Molony) must decide whether to go ahead with their stag night.

First of all, Tyler and Zander got married before their Bachelor party! Zander is such a romantic and clearly besotted.. he didn't sign the NDA.. a poignant part of an ending of a series where NDA's are a focus. Poor Zander.. love had blinded him!
Then, TYLER AND NINA! My initial reaction was to feel angry at Tyler, he just got married and Nina is just getting it together after such a struggle.. then when she kissed him back it was just WOAH with all the chemistry... part of me is thinking whhhaaaattt???!! Part of me is delighted because their connection is so strong...they see so much of themselves in the other and it almost feels inevitable.. but they were meant to be good for each other and there is something deeply tragic about it, like they both just fell of the path... and surely this means series 3 and Damien in it!! What a cliff hanger!
Give Nicola Walker all the awards.
So deeply heartbreaking and emotional watching Hannah and Nathan, and their children, as their marriage falls apart...
Did Tyler and Zander get married? I totally missed that! What about their families, they didn't seem to be present at the stag party and I thought they were coming over for the wedding.
I thought Hannnah and Nathan completely out of line by turning the celebration of their daughter's play into an "oh, by the way, your dad's moving out". I don't think Hannah deserves either of the men in her life.
That kiss - I thought it started out as a "thank you" but progressed really quickly from there. It's certainly got people talking. Even those who don't like the character of Tyler want to know what happens next! I thought Tyler looked stunned when he realised what had done, plus he rubbed his mouth - I'm not sure if it was surprise or an attempt to erase the kiss!
Plenty of scope for a third series, definitely one with Damien. After all, lots of debts and no pre-nupe (stupid divorce lawyer Zander) plus the growing connection with Nina . . .
There were tears at the end of this episode. Nicola Walker is just another class isn't she.
For me there has always been so much more chemistry between Tyler and Nina than there ever has been between Tyler and Zander. I don't think it's going to end well for Zander. I really hope there is going to be a third series, there's still so many unanswered questions!
Entirely understandable Rosie, hard not to be dazzled by Damien's amazing yellow costume and superhero hair!
What is Tyler's super power do we think? He obviously possesses superhuman powers of persuasion and charm, for experienced and highly legal minded Zander to forgive his illegal practising and not sign a prenup!
Or, was that actually Nina who persuaded Zander?
The secret wedding, the persuasion and more made what happened next all the more jawdropping!
Was anyone else shocked, horrified and delighted in equal measure?
Nina has only just begun to get herself on track, Tyler has justgot married, both are vulnerable recovering alcoholics, this is not good for either of them.
but...
The passion! The undeniable chemistry! The connection! There is something right about it too! It had to happen!
All the chemistry missing between Zander and Tyler is there between Nina and Tyler!
All through the series is was hard not to wonder if Tyler was simply playing Zander for the money, and now there is no prenup to protect Zander from that. But Tyler as a character has not been one note throughout the series, so it feels to me as if him having jsut that one devious agenda cannot be the case. His move on Nina and his reactions and moments with her, including at the meetings, seem spontaneous, genuine and real, and as if they have caught him off guard too... talk about a complex, intriguing, tragic and compelling character!
