Worried that Cris and Scooter are spending too much time together, Michelle encourages Cris to embrace single life.

She also quits her job at Aram and Scooter’s firm to be in in-house lawyer with Hutcho (Daniel Ewing), a charismatic multi-millionaire.

Scooter discovers that his wife Ainsley has been unfaithful to him and they separate. At the same time, cracks start emerging between Cris and Toby, and she is faced with a major ethical problem working for Hutcho. Cris finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads, and having to make a choice about whether she can move on in Brisbane, or if it’s time to leave again.
