Sex, Death, and Bridges

Pearl Bay is going to change forever. The bridge work is completed and Bob's dream to open Pearl Bay to the outside world is about to be realised.

It is a time of change for all. Laura hears the committal hearing of an elderly man charged with attempting to murder his terminally ill wife. Carmen's baby is due to arrive. The impending arrival has spurred Meredith and Harold to seek out their lost love child and their relationship becomes more intimate when Meredith suggests they do more than just hold hands. Harold's not sure: his doctor has warned him that his heart may not withstand strenuous exertion.

Laura and Dan also decide it is time to stop beating around the bush. They are obviously attracted to each other. But, by the time the carefully stage-managed event finally takes place... Heather, too, makes a decision with huge ramifications for the Jellys, especially Bob.

Will Meredith and Harold find their daughter? How will Kevin and Trevor survive in their ship? Wind blows, thunder sounds, a storm brews...something is amiss.
