Thankfully, Sam got very good news at her appointment, with the specialist explaining that the cancer is gone, and she would only need an annual mammogram for the next five years.

Sam’s loved ones threw her a surprise congratulations party, but she was overwhelmed by the fuss and headed to Harry’s Barn – where she found Zack drowning his sorrows.

Zack told Sam about his romantic woes, but forgot his current situation when Sam revealed that her cancer treatment is done. She opened up to her former flame about her complex feelings surrounding her illness, and Zack gave her the encouragement she needed.

The pair grew closer over a drink and eventually retreated to the office to reignite their chemistry, where they kissed and slept together.

After their passionate encounter, Sam went home and had a heart-to-heart with Denise, while Zack got the clarity he needed and told Vicki that they were officially done so she needn’t worry about him exposing their affair.

But Vicki and Zack then realised that their affair had already been exposed, as Vicki received an anonymous text which read, “I won’t tell if you pay me” – with a photo of them kissing the previous night.

Who is blackmailing Vicki and Zack, and what will they do about this sinister threat?
