Gina and Junior’s new flatmate arrangement is off to a rocky start as George pressures Gina to uncover the identity of his mystery woman. The tension escalates when Cindy catches Gina trying to break into Junior’s phone at Beales Eels. Gina confesses, and Cindy wastes no time informing Junior. Things take a dramatic turn when Junior skips a secret rendezvous with Cindy, only for her to find him at The Vic, introducing his new date, Maxine, to his family. Junior claims it’s just a distraction, but Cindy is left seething.
