worried.
 ..
Aaron, David, Nicolette and Chloe are in the Waterhole discussing the return of Pierce. Chloe tries to assure the others that he will be visiting for
Hendrix and it has nothing to do with her. Nicolette reads the menu while looking unsettled, as Chloe states she will not be planning her life around
avoiding Pierce.
Jane and Terese are in the kitchen at number 22 as Paul arrives home wanting to share some news. Before he has the chance, Terese stops him and hopes he
hasn't started a drama as Jane has her own issues going on. Paul is surprised at how seriously Clive is taking the death of his plant Herbert. He then
excitedly announces that Pierce will arrive back in Erinsborough the next day.
 ..
Back at number 28, Karl is trying to encourage Hendrix to see Pierce's return as an opportunity to reconnect. Hendrix is feeling negatively about the
situation and thinks it will be a chance for him to be reminded of his previous mistakes. Susan reminds Hendrix of the good work he's done in Pierce's
absence.
In number 22, Jane feels she should leave to check on Nicolette and Chloe. Terese suggests Paul should have hid his enjoyment of Pierce's return when he
told Jane, and is sure he has returned for Hendrix. Paul looks forward to Nicolette and Pierce coming face to face due to their past disagreements.
 ..
Nicolette tells Aaron, David and Chloe she doesn't feel threatened by Pierce's presence when asked.
Hendrix is encouraged to take time and think about seeing Pierce, especially as he feels it could impact the improvements he has been making to his life.
 ..
In Harold's, Mackenzie apologies to Harlow for being late - as she was supporting Hendrix. Harlow invites Mackenzie to a girls' night, along with Yashvi,
but realises she's too busy and offers to help with Hendrix. She appears disappointed when Mackenzie tells her to concentrate of being there for Yashvi.
Nicolette and Jane are discussing Pierce's return. Despite emphasising she wants to support Chloe, Jane seems unconvinced that Nicolette is ok with the
situation. Chloe appears and says she would understand if Nicolette was struggling. Jane offers her support to them both before going to bed. As they sit
down to watch tv, Chloe asks how Nicolette would feel if she caught up with Pierce during his visit. Despite saying she is ok with it, Nicolette appears
unsettled at the idea.
 ..
The next day, Pierce arrives on the street as Karl and Hendrix start a driving lesson. Hendrix is keen to continue with the lesson so he can avoid his
dad who arrived earlier than planned.
In number 28, Pierce and Susan discuss his relationship with Hendrix and the struggles they have faced. He expresses his thanks to Karl and Susan for
supporting Hendrix. Susan shares some of the positive changes Hendrix has made at school and his relationship with Mackenzie - which is news to Pierce.
 ..
At number 24, Jane had a bad sleep the previous night due to the issues in her relationship with Clive. Nicolette answers the door to Pierce who is hoping
to see Chloe. He is surprised to hear Nicolette and Jane now live with Chloe. Pierce and Chloe agree to meet for a coffee later that day.
Still on a driving lesson, Hendrix tells Karl he feels Pierce isn't interested in his life. Karl shares that Pierce would get in touch to check on Hendrix
if he couldn't reach him himself, and he paid for his living expenses - showing he does care.
 ..
In Harold's, Paul smugly greets Pierce while Terese has a friendlier approach. Pierce praises the improvements he has noticed in the complex, and asks Paul
if he is struggling financially as he has so many businesses for sale. Paul denies his assumptions, but Pierce realises it is due to Paul buying him out of
the hotel. Nicolette arrives for her shift, boasting about her relationship with Chloe. Hendrix also arrives asking to speak to Pierce.
At the Waterhole, Hendrix thanks Pierce for covering his living expenses for the sake of Karl and Susan. Pierce explains that wasn't the reason he did it -
he realised it was too much expecting Hendrix to stand on his own two feet, and he was wrong to leave him the way he did. He hopes they can work on repairing
their relationship.
 ..
At the hotel, nearing the end of her shift, Terese suggests Harlow finish early and asks if she has any plans for the rest of the day - she doesn't. Terese
asks how she is coping with Mackenzie and Hendrix being together. Harlow knows Pierce visiting will be a lot for Hendrix to deal with but it is no longer
her place to be his main support.
At the Waterhole, Pierce congratulates David and Aaron on the news of the pregnancy. Chloe arrives and agrees to catch up with Pierce then rather than later.
He questions the commitment of having a pregnant girlfriend, and living with her mum in a short space of time, and expresses his concerns for Chloe. Pierce
hopes they can discuss Hendrix and asks for any information Chloe has on Paul. David and Aaron watch on and share their hopes for the visit to go smoothly.
 ..
Karl and Susan are waiting on an update from Hendrix about his meeting with Pierce. Karl hopes he made the right decision in telling him about the money.
Hendrix and Mackenzie arrive and assures them the meeting went well. He is surprised to hear they would have covered his living expenses if Pierce hadn't
gave them the money - asking what they get out of it. Karl and Susan share their pride in seeing him reach his full potential. Although the acknowledge
Pierce's methods differ from their own, they reassure Hendrix that they all want what is best for him. Hendrix credits the Kennedys as being his main
supporters, as they encourage him to give Pierce another chance.
In Harold's, Nicolette asks to postpone lunch with David and Aaron as they inform her of Chloe meeting Pierce. Chloe joins them and receives a text from
Pierce - Nicolette seems unimpressed and goes to the kitchen.
 ..
As Hendrix enters the Waterhole he runs into Harlow who enquires about Pierce's visit, hoping things are going well. He explains they are about to play
golf. Paul listens into Pierce and Hendrix's conversation and shares some news he has heard - Pierce is going to sell the vineyard. He says it is his last
connection to Erinsborough and he doesn't need it in his life. Hendrix realises he is not the only reason for his visit and the vineyard is the main reason.
Pierce tries to explain his reasons but Hendrix doesn't allow him to and leaves the Waterhole.
