Bella is still in a fragile place after her nightmare at the hands of internet stalker, Tommy. So Ryder wonders if it's a good idea for Bella to be rushing into a new relationship.

However, Ryder's aunt, Roo Stewart (Georgie Parker) warns him he'll be betraying Bella's trust if he tells Nikau the truth about Bella.
