Out of his depth, Colby is grateful when hospital nurse Jasmine Delaney (Sam Fox) unexpectedly arrives at the hotel room and takes over with the process of helping Dean to go cold turkey from his sleeping pills addiction.

But Colby feels terrible over the state Dean is in and realises the part he played by involving Dean in the murder of his hated dad Ross and the cover-up of the crime. Plus, he's been lying to Bella this whole time, who still thinks Ross is alive and on the run.
