Tane and Nikau ball-frolic on the beach, a joy to behold also for Ziggy, whose erotic dreams resume. Tane gently rebukes the knave for not even warning he brought his childhood buddy, Ari's stepdaughter Chloe, who wines she felt deserted by him and betrayed by her snake mother, who kept the jail bird away and uninformed, then gets permission to stay indefinitely. Ryder is presented to his former bar prankster and duly informs Roo he suspects Kieran of monkey business, as he lies about shifts, and indeed orders vodka to his van.
