In a nail-biting preview for tonight’s finale, Ari is seen getting down on one knee to Mia, saying a second chance with her was “more than I ever deserved,” before a police chase ensues following a mysterious murder. But who will take their last breath?

Why do Mia, Chloe and Matthew get into a heated argument?

Since his unexpected arrival, Matthew (James Sweeny) has made it his mission to steal his daughter Chloe (Sam Barrett) away from his ex, Mia (Anna Sampson). And after weeks of playing the doting dad, his scheming might just pay off.

His latest attempt to sway Chloe to leave Summer Bay sees Matthew present her with an application for a prestigious business college. He wants to pay for her tuition and offers her a place to live in the city.

Chloe is ecstatic but Mia begs her not to go. The truth is that Chloe is the result of a sexual assault, but has no idea her mother is keeping such an awful secret.

The next day, Chloe accepts her father’s offer, leaving Mia heartbroken as she watches her daughter prepare to go. Knowing it’s now or never, she blurts out the truth. Chloe is horrified, but finally understands her mother’s feelings.

The next day, still reeling from the news, Chloe rejects her father’s calls. But Matthew won’t be ignored and arrives demanding answers.

Chloe orders him to get out of their lives for good and an argument ensues. Overhearing the commotion, Mia races out to find the pair in a violent scuffle. In a rage, Matthew grabs Mia forcefully and accuses her of lying.
