Billie is told her condition is terminal. VJ proposes and the couple get married before sharing her last moments together on the beach, where the new mum dies.
Having collapsed at her baby's blessing, new mum Billie (Tessa de Josselin) is in hospital in Home and Away. But as Tori (Penny McNamee) and Nate (Kyle Pryor) run tests, they soon discover Billie's condition is terminal. VJ (Matthew Little) and Ash (George Mason) are left utterly devastated by the news. While Ash flies into a bitter rage, VJ is forced to accept his hopes and dreams of a future with Billie and baby Luc aren't going to happen. VJ soon realises, however, there's one thing the couple can do: get married.
As their loved ones gather in hospital, Billie and VJ exchange vows. Later, Billie persuades reluctant VJ to take her to the beach so they can share one final sunrise together. There, she dies in VJ's arms.
