6521: Jade leaves Erinsborough for good

Rocked by Kyle's unexpected break-up, Jade clings to the hope that it was a rash decision. Confronting him, she is frustrated to find that he is more resolved than ever that this is their only option. Venting to Sonya, Jade is thrown when her sister urges her to see things from Kyle's perspective. Realising that she has a choice to make, Jade takes Kyle by surprise when she insists that she has decided to stay, planning to pass up the opportunities overseas for him.

However, when Kyle hears Jade regretfully resigning, he points out that she'll one day come to regret this and most likely resent him for it. No longer able to deny the heartbreaking truth, Jade concedes that Kyle is right - the relationship is through. Struggling to be around him in the aftermath of her decision, Jade brings forward her departure, which throws Kyle. Knowing that if he gets close he won't be able to let her go, a restrained Kyle bids Jade farewell, watching on devastated as she departs for the last time.

Meanwhile, keen to make a stellar impression, Karl is unsure of what to do for his and Olivia's second date. Eventually deciding to prepare an elaborate culinary feast, Karl tries to procure a blowtorch from the garage - only to be busted by Chris.

Chris insists on supervising, but when he voices his misgivings about Karl going overboard, a determined Karl dismisses him. However, when Olivia is overwhelmed by the effort Karl has gone to and subsequently declines his offer of another date, Karl realises that he has scared off his potential romance.
