But when bride-to-be Lucy Robinson spots Finn at the expo she is fuming and orders him away, worried that his reputation will tarnish Lassiters' big day.

But Finn doesn't take too kindly to being ordered around and takes it upon himself to get the ultimate revenge... by planting a bomb in Lucy and Mark's wedding gift box.

However, while Finn is making homemade bombs in his storage locker, everyone else is excitedly packing for the island trip to celebrate Elly's birthday. But little do they know, Finn is planning more than just relaxing on the beach.

As Elly, baby Aster, Roxy, Kyle, Bea, Toadie, Chloe and Pierce all pack their bags and head for the island, little do they know Finn is planning the ultimate revenge on those who have wronged him... starting with Bea.

Meanwhile, back in Erinsbrough, Mark and Lucy's wedding is underway, and the romance of the day leads to Paige getting down on one knee and asking Mark to marry her.
