Ty wants her to realize the importance and beauty of nature which was the main reason he built this house in the middle of the desert. Now Gemma has started to think of Ty in a good way and Ty is happy with that. Ty rescues her and takes care of her until her burns have healed. Still Gemma has not entirely forgiven Ty and tries to escape by taking his vehicle but does not succeed as the truck gets stuck in the desert. Ty has a nightmare about his past and shouts and screams until Gemma gets up and consoles him. Gemma disapproves of Ty, but after an incident she develops a soft corner for him. He smuggles her away on a plane to Australia and takes her to the middle of the desert, expecting her to fall in love with him.
