JAMES AND GER Eventually Ray confessed, but the damage to Pete's reputation remained, which led Pete to resign from the garage. Meanwhile, Ger continued pushing to secure the rental unit in The Marketplace. James tried to handle the pressure of Ger's persistence and the debt hanging over him. With Ger needing to move inventory fast, James tried to use her urgency to his advantage. After rejecting James' rental offer, Ger outmanoeuvred him by leveraging his loan shark threat and negotiating control of the unit on her own terms. Ger won her battle with James and began preparing for her business launch. Emma and Ger decided to work together and hatch a plan to get Renee to back down from her book club choice.
