At Salt, Mack grills Tane on where he stands with Felicity. But he insists their marriage is over. When the estranged couple finally do come face to face, Felicity pleads for a second chance, but Tane calls time on their marriage for good.

When Tane comes by the house the next day to collect some things, Felicity naively hopes her husband might be moving back in, but Tane hits her with a reality check – he’s cancelled the purchase of their land in New Zealand and confirms they’re done.
