After winning a luxurious getaway, the couple are delighted at spending some much-needed time together away from the Bay.

In a desperate attempt to save them, Justin climbs to the top of a ladder and begins scaling the roof. However, when the scrap metal Justin’s using to help guide him across the roof comes crashing down, he is left severely injured while Leah is hysterical.
Inside the dingy warehouse are the words ‘The End Is Near’ graffitied on the wall, and it couldn’t be closer to the truth for Leah and Justin, who’s energy levels are running dangerously low. With Justin in a dire state, Leah is frantic for help as their lives teeter on the edge.
