Stay with Libby or leave with Sam?

Sam returns home from hospital this week and presents her husband with a shock ultimatum: give their marriage a proper chance by leaving Ramsay Street behind, or lose her forever. Handing him two airline tickets, Sam asks Dan to start their relationship afresh in New Zealand. It’s apparent, however, that Dan - who still has feelings for Libby - is completely torn. “This is so full-on for Dan,” Brett says. “He clearly had that instant attraction to Libby, but he has this massive history with Sam. Now, when he’s faced with this ultimatum, he realises that if he really wants things to work out with his wife, he can’t be in the same place as Libby. It just won’t work - it’s far too tormenting.” Adds Simone: “Sam also knows that the bottom line is if she can just get Dan away from Libby, they have a real chance to save their marriage. So she says to him, ‘Come with me or I’m leaving’. It’s really black and white to her now.” What will Dan decide?
