As Levi gasps for air in a devastated Mackenzie’s arms, the Allens continue to demand

that Mali calls Iluka. They manage to snatch his phone when he tries to call an ambulance himself.

Mackenzie scolds Mali over his delay in calling Iluka. Mali reluctantly gives into their demands.

As they wait for Iluka to turn up, though, Levi’s health takes a downward turn. When the Allens won’t let him access his medical bag, he tells Mackenzie they’ll improvise and asks her to get some cling wrap from the kitchen.

As Mali and Mackenzie tape up the puncture in his chest, Levi’s breath returns, but he’s still in terrible pain. Finally, Iluka arrives, and it’s clear before too long that Nat’s grudge is personal – she tells Iluka that he broke her heart. But he’s less sentimental about their relationship – telling her to take her money and go.

Nat relishes being cruel when she tells them that she still won’t call an ambulance, not until the money’s counted. Levi again takes a turn and manages to sputter that he needs a cannula. Nat finally allows Mac to go to the medical bag, under the watch of one of her brothers.

Having retrieved it, Mackenzie pierces Levi’s chest with the cannula and relieves the pressure. Finally, the Allens finish counting the money, and she is pleading for an ambulance when Mali offers himself and Iluka in exchange for help.

Nat insists that it was never about the money – it was about teaching someone there are consequences. They don’t care about him, but they are taking Iluka. At the hospital, Levi is wheeled into theatre as Mackenzie snaps at Mali – he knowingly put them all in danger and now her partner is fighting for his life.

Meanwhile, Leah confronts Irene – asking how she could encourage someone to sue them. Irene tries to justify her position – explaining that she did it to try to get a sick woman some help, but Leah’s adamant she should never have put their business at risk, let alone without consulting her first.

After receiving an email from the insurance company, Leah tells her business partner their claim has been rejected. Leah demands to know what Irene’s plan is now.
