[18] The storyline sees Roo Stewart (Parker) and Romeo travel to Hawaii to attend a tourism exhibition.

"[19] Roo is not happy when she learns that Romeo traded in his business class ticket for two economy seats so Indi can join them.

[19] Mitchell told TV Week: "The fact that Indi's been offered a job brings up the prospect of being separated from her again.

Romeo starts giving surfing lessons and later lends a large amount of money to his sister, which upsets Indi.

When Indi catches Romeo and Ruby sharing a motel room she jumps to the wrong conclusion and later goes out with Logan Meyer (David Berry).
