Alex is taken by surprise when his first love, Tracey Morrison, arrives at Killarney. She's come a long way since their days together on the rodeo circuit - she's now the manager of a highly successful and huge scale 'wild west' rodeo style show, and she's allegedly in town to scout for new talent. Stevie's not at all impressed by the arrival of her former mate, describing Tracey as ""Alex's worst nightmare"". She recalls her own hurt when Tracey dumped her at a time when she really needed a friend. She also vividly remembers having to scrape up the pieces after Tracey dumped Alex ten years ago. For Stevie, the arrival stirs feelings of discontent as she can't help but compare her life to Tracey's, and feel very inadequate in comparison.
