Ziggy also feels exhausted from lack of sleep and is upset that the baby seemingly starts crying every time she comes near her.

In an emotional heart-to-heart, Ziggy tells Dean that she fears their baby hates her.

Dean dismisses this and assures Ziggy that she's doing a great job.

Later, Dean is alarmed to find that he's now alone with the baby at the Astoni farmhouse as Ziggy has mysteriously disappeared.

Mali Hudson and Rose Delaney are both surprised when Dean arrives at the Surf Club and spreads the word that Ziggy is missing. They agree to help look for her.

The staff at the Diner are also worried over the news, so Marilyn Chambers offers to take care of the baby while Dean focuses on the search.

The mystery is resolved when Justin Morgan arrives at work at the garage and finds Ziggy asleep in the back of a car.

Justin calls Dean, who races to the garage to check on Ziggy.

Ziggy opens up about how much she's struggling, explaining that she just needed time out and some sleep. Irene Roberts is sympathetic and steps in to take Ziggy for a walk.

Irene offers some words of wisdom to Ziggy while they're out together, pointing out that she's being far too hard on herself.

Ziggy takes Irene's advice on board and starts to get into a better headspace. As Ziggy and Dean name their baby girl Isabella "Izzy" Astoni-Thompson and look to the future, have they reached a positive turning point?
