Jo decides to take it upon herself to help Harper find a new rental, but this doesn’t go down well.

Raging at her interference, Harper orders Tane to keep his new squeeze out of her business.

Tane has a gentle word with Jo, which leads her to realise whatever she does with Harper, she’ll always be in the wrong.

Later, Harper and Dana reflect on their next steps. Harper reveals that Tane’s offered her a room at his place, but she couldn’t possibly live there if he’s seeing Jo.

When Harper bumps into Jo talking to Marilyn (Emily Symons) in the diner, she realises that she and David are the ones that have bought the house.

Harper puts on a brave face as Jo admits she feels a little guilty, awkwardly offering some advice about the local real estate agents.

Acknowledging Jo’s offer to help out if needed, Harper heads out, her polite smile turning into a scowl as soon as she’s out the door.

Thinking she’s got Harper on-side, Jo decides to take matters into her own hands. Wanting to ease her guilt about buying Irene’s home—and picking up on Tane’s unease about Harper and Archie being left in limbo—she sets about looking for a rental for Harper.

But when Jo calls over at the Beach House with a hot tip for a rental, Harper finally snaps, as she orders Jo to stay out of her personal life.

“For the last time, I don’t need your help,” Harper tells her. “What I need, is for you to get the hell out of my house.”

Still seething, Harper goes straight to Tane, demanding that he keep Jo well away from her business.

Stung by Harper’s anger, Tane makes it clear where his priorities lie. He meets with Jo and, to her disappointment, it’s not a date. Instead, he tells her to stop trying to fix things. Harper’s never going to forgive her or see past the negative impact she’s had on her life, whether it was her fault or not.
