Tim Williams has a happy marriage, a good relationship with his teenage son Max and the respect of his peers. Everything about his working and personal future is looking quite bright. The problem though: 15 years ago, Tim had a brief affair with the drug-loving Nat Manning. The affair ended in Nat finding out she was pregnant. After admitting this to his wife Christine, they patched up their marriage and fought hard for custody of the child. Nat moved to London and has hardly been heard from since. But now, 10 years later, Nat is back in their lives. This time for good.

Gabriel returns to Melbourne and stays with Vince and Ally. His attraction to Ally is noticed by everyone but her. When Max discovers the body of a man, it becomes a secret that is kept between the teenagers. Romeo then takes it on himself to try and break into the dead man's house.

Vince asks his mistress Em to go on a skiing trip, which shocks Gabriel, who is going along as well. When Em is injured and they have to go back to Melbourne, Vince begs Gabriel to pretend she is his girlfriend so that Ally doesn't become suspicious.

When the police arrive at the dead man's house, where the teenagers are having a party, Max calls Nat so that he doesn't get his father Tim involved in the situation. However, this only makes Christine feel more insecure. Vince finally manages to convince Ally that Em is Gabriel's girlfriend.

When Tim is offered the job of health minister, he has a tough decision to make as he will only get the job if he gets rid of his mentor, Pat. Meanwhile, Romeo wins over Charlotte's heart, much to Max's disappointment.

When Ally tells Vince she kissed someone while out on the town with Nat, Vince becomes extremely jealous. Meanwhile Tim starts to question how much his career means to him when he sees how much he has hurt his mentor.
