But what exactly is her secret plan?
30 NOVEMBER - 6 DECEMBER
As Cara continues to recover in hospital, she holds on to her stoic demeanour and Dex simmers with rage toward Holly, who he believes caused his mother's injuries.
But when he asks Cara why she isn't more angry, she admits she blames herself for the accident and asks him not to hang onto animosity on her behalf.
Later, when he spots Holly laughing and seemingly care-free at Harolds, Dex tears strips off her for what he perceives to be her callousness. Something newcomer Yaz notes with interest.
Meanwhile, Holly is escorted to work by Karl, who feels guilty about going to Italy while Holly is still dealing with so much. After putting on a brave face, once he's gone, Holly asks Paul to let her work away from the public as she feels too vulnerable following Blaze’s Crimesborough podcast stitch-up.
Continuing to make in-roads on her hit-list of people to interrogate, Yaz tries to get more detail from Blaze about what happened in the outback under the guise of being a podcast fan.
On hand to witness a disagreement between Holly and Blaze, Yaz senses an opportunity and approaches Holly afterwards to give her big ups for standing her ground which leaves Holly feeling proud of herself. Until Dex tears a strip off her.
Nevertheless, Holly puts on a brave face as she says goodbye her father, even though it's obvious she's struggling.
Later, when Holly delivers room service to her room, Yaz takes advantage of the opportunity to further their relationship, compassionately noticing Holly's subdued demeanour.
However it’s too much for an overwhelmed Holly who becomes emotional, offering Yaz the perfect excuse for drawing Holly further into her web as she comforts her.
After charming her with support and consoling her, Yaz offers Holly a position as her assistant. However, Holly doesn’t want to let Krista or Paul down by leaving Lassiters.
Crushing on Yaz from afar, Nicolette admits to Aaron that she’s intimidated by her glamour. But when Yaz has a shoe emergency, Nicolette helps her out, hoping this is the start of a budding romance.
Meanwhile, Krista asks Holly to change her shifts to night, revealing some staff are refusing to work with her. Making a snap decision, Holly quits on the spot and accepts a position with Yaz, unaware she’s the enemy.
Later, Nicolette asks Yaz out, only to receive the cold shoulder treatment and realises Yaz isn’t interested in her. What she doesn’t know is that Yaz has just received a bag of Heath’s belongings and is battling her grief.
Mortified at being turned down by Yaz, Nicolette hopes she’ll never see her again. However, when their paths soon cross, this time Yaz is more effusive after learning that Nicolette lives on the same street as Holly, and sees her as an opportunity to uncover more information on her target.
As an oblivious and nervous Nicolette embarks on a date with Yaz, she allows herself to be plied with drinks in an effort to get her talking. When she lets slip some gossip about Holly, Yaz is shocked and satisfied as her secret plan continues to unfold.
