2022[]

Montana visits Lassiters Hotel with her assistant Mick Allsop to hear Terese Willis and Chloe Brennan's pitch for her Fashion Week event. She is unimpressed by the complex and notes the tiki torches, before going to The Waterhole, where she asks Terese about the storm which led to the closure of the Flamingo Bar. Chloe says that Lassiters was not at fault for that, while Terese mentions the other high-profile events Lassiters has hosted. Montana then notices the gladioli flowers on the tables and says she is no longer hungry. The group visit Leo Tanaka's winery, where Terese and Chloe are hoping to host the fashion parade. Montana appears bored until she meets Leo. She eventually asks Terese and Chloe why she is being tortured with tiki torches, gladioli and ice sculptures. When Chloe explains that they thought everything reminded her of the things she loved, Montana says that they just remind her of being jilted by her fiancé at their wedding in Hawaii. Montana tells them she has seen enough, despite not hearing Terese's pitch, but Leo convinces her to stay and take a tour of the vineyard with him. Although she enjoys the tour with Leo, Montana tells Terese and Chloe that she is not interested in collaborating with Lassiters. Leo visits Montana at her home to ask for a second chance for Lassiters, but she admits she has concerns about the bad publicity the hotel has received. Leo says that her Fashion Week could be good for his business too. They talk about their time in New York and Leo's daughter, until Mick interrupts. Montana tells him to leave and lets him know she is aware that he sabotaged the Lassiters pitch. Montana offers to give Terese the tender if Leo has sex with her. He admits that he finds her attractive, but asks to think about it. Montana later awards the tender to Lassiters and she and Leo have sex again, after which he tries to talk her around to some of Chloe and Terese's ideas. She lets them know she is onto their plan to use Leo as their bargaining chip and that it will not work.
