Sparks fly, they bond over a shared love of Whitney Houston, and Shamsa feels comfortable enough to tell Hamish about a powerful and traumatic event from her childhood. Meanwhile, school caretaker Dominic, who's 27, hasn't had much luck in love; one date took him shopping in TK Maxx. His match is 30-year-old Rebecca, a free spirit who loves swimming with sharks and travelling to exotic parts of the world. Dominic can't swim and has a phobia of butterflies; can he turn his luck around, or is adventurous Rebecca too much for him to handle? Rock singer Brocarde is hoping to meet a fellow creative who'll accept the 'ghosts' of her past and make her heart sing. She bonds with youth worker and fellow musician James over shared passions. But how will James react when Brocarde opens up about her romantic dealings within the paranormal world? Retired fire-fighter Ian hasn't dated since his wife passed away. Can he re-ignite the flame of love and find a second chance at happiness with passionate and playful Coral?
