Home and Away

- Season 27

(2013)

Clever, cynical Kyle helps Darryl work out that Heath's failure to meet Bianca for the promised reconciliation renders the yacht trip suspicious. They make Jamie confess that he left Heath to drawn in a leaky dinghy. Kyle convinces Jamie that a shot at earning a second chance from Darryl is worthwhile. By the time they arrive, Heath has woke up, wriggled out of his handcuffs and disappeared, so the brothers fear he's shark feed. Dex and his loves ones agonize over his prospects at medical studies, at least a year late, now April is admitted.

Furious at the Sharpe's after the attempt on Heath's life, Darryl throws Adam out of Angelo's, pretends to fire Liam just for being associated and sets up a complicated trap. Kyle gets to earn some confidence while Heath poses as spineless daddy's boy Jamie's forgiving friend to lure him to an abandoned house. Spencer sweetly cares for sick Maddy, crashing first on a boat, then in the school. Roo guesses they're runaways and decides to help out discretely. Celia jumps at an offer to help out Alf in the caravan park, but immediately devises a rigorous regime.

Spencer Harrington arrives with his girl and rents a caravan, saying they just picked fruit on a tour of Australia, but leave with the linen, presumably to dodge payment. Palmer heard about it and rightly suspects a couple who pack stuff at the diner, but his questioning only makes them run away. Dex deliberately misses specialist checkup, accompanying Pril to university introduction, but has another episode. Sid and she reassure him there's a way for him to study too. Back on his first prison interlude, Casey ponders about his future, such as inmate education, finds ...

To Jett's fury, Liam has finally contacted VJ but can't even tell his mate, who must not expect him back for school but seems to appreciate Indy's offer to be his friend. The Walkers and April, who moves in again, plan how to support Dex non-stop. Spencer Harrington works his tail off at the diner to clean his debts and his sister Maddy Osborne's, telling they're waiting for their parents' inheritance to be cleared, yet she keeps wining about where they should live. Alf invites Celia, who confide into him having been swindled out of her savings, to move in with him. ...

Know what this is about? Be the first one to add a plot.

The Sharpes are checkmate now Jamie is kept hostage by Kyle, unlike Darryl not reputed too humane too kill. So Adam is forced to turn themselves in to the police and commit Jamie to psychiatry. Jett secretly has romantic dreams about new friend Indy, so he abuses the general sense of insecurity since Leah fears Jamie to have Palmer hire Indy as babysitting 'bodyguard', only to find she invited husband Romeo and only has eyes for him.

Back in jail, kitchen chores-assigned Casey reluctantly takes his discretely Darryl-arranged mentor's advice to win some respect by lashing out with a fist, then bravely heeds his warning not to give in to the prison drug line's threats to become there 'courier', even flushing the poison. Romeo sees trough scamp Jett's crush on Indy, even goes easy on his mean attempt to suggest a lipstick smear on the faithful husband's collar. When the wave of thefts is followed my miraculous restitutions and Celia says she 'found cash in her suitcase', Alf smells a rat. An ...

Casey returns home with a black eye. Although he's not amused that Zac is a friend of Natalie's whom she contacted for Darryl to look after the knave, and Darryl feels he did a poor job, they soon realize Zac earned their gratitude. Dex feels bad because caring for him spoils April's frat life, so he organizes a toga party at the Walker farm, despite Sid's protests, even semi-strips.

Heath is worried when his illegitimate daughter Darcy runs away from sick grandma's place, and turns up in his new home. He and Natalie, who assumed it to be about fear of losing loved ones, work out she really desperately wants to live with daddy, who grants that without actually consulting Bianca. Dex assures Sid he needn't feel no longer need as father, just back down a bit. Spencer decides Maddy, who refuses considering to return home, is too sick to stay hidden in the rough on the beach, so they accept Roo's invitation to stay a while at Alf's, then consider the ...

Tired of Kyle lazily hanging around in the Braxton house until his trial, Darryl assigns him as restaurant staff to unamused Liam, who soon has to admit it's a hard worker and born salesman, who objects to being called a River Boy. Heath has trouble with the paperwork to file for custody of Darcy, tells Bianca his kid is now part of the package but is made to think it over properly first by big brother, who's proof single-parenting takes over once's life. Spencer and Maddie seem to have left the Bay, worrying Roo rather then Alf, to whom Celie confesses she 'borrowed'...

Darryl feels torn apart by his immature brothers' incessant needs. Heath stresses boundlessly over social worker Gavin MacIntosh's house visit as he must recommend whether to grant custody of Darcy. Now neither minds jealous Sasha's wining, Tamara accepts to stay with Casey and explains she's running for her ex, who indirectly caused her brother's fatal car accident, which caused her parents to evict her. Casey only accepts to keep his nose clean and avoid a major sentence when Darryl promises to help out, Casey is rewarded with a kiss-sealed love confession. Ashamed ...

Jett still won't tell anyone about his crush on Indy, especially John, instead schemes ruthlessly at rival Romeo's expense to have his 'babysitter' to himself, only to end up ordered to attend a Walker farm barbecue. Casey gets on kissing terms with Tamara, and pushed by April, who witnessed them, tries to let ex Sasha down easily, only to be treated as a villain even by Dex.

Trying to escape from the barn Jett locked him into, Romeo has fallen badly and knocked himself unconscious. Spencer and Maddy, still hesitant whether to run or stay in the caravan park, pass by and report his help cries to Harvey as there is no key. Rascal Jett gets off ridiculously lightly, even enjoys sympathy from Indy. Pious Dex feels he fails in making Sid feel still needed as family father.

Heath's nightmare comes trough: social services not only rules against giving him full custody of daughter Darcy, mean grandmother Connie now also cuts off his visitation rights. Kyle proves himself a great asset for the restaurant and learns how Liam feels about his now-ex Bianca's recent commitment to Heath. Sid's explanation about hospital red tape help Harvey and Roo work out enough to make Spencer and Maddy admit they're not siblings but ran away from home as forbidden lovers.

Heath is prepared to anything to get Darcy back when Darrul realizes she must be kidnapped. Indeed Adam calls and demands a 'job' for her release. Darryl insists to go in hothead Heath's place. As Romeo, his downsizing company sacks him. Sid not only fails to sympathize but scolds his family's efforts to make him feel needs as father, actually bugged most by a medical scan result. Spencer convinces Maddy to admit the truth about their parentally forbidden love to Harvey, who wants to inform them, and Roo, who prevails in leaving the choice to the youngsters.

Darryl is disgusted to find out Adam wants him as unprotected paw to deal with an unreliable customs informer, who already made several of his henchmen simply disappear. Heath gets Darcy back safely, even unaware she was kidnapped. He decides to return and try to help Darryl. Yet it's Adam who, after a row over broken trust and loyalty, saves Darryl and thus gets fatally hit by the fiend's car. Sid is worried by Maddy's brain tests, fearing meningitis, but still waits for conclusive lab results. For Harvey, who remembers how loosing his boy felt, that suffices to call...

Romeo is relatively relived that his six weeks severance pay may permit paying off some debts while searching for another job. Kyle quickly realizes the man inquiring about Tamara must be her unshakable ex Nelson Gregory and pretends she's unknown in town. Sid keeps waving his home front's ever-more worried questions about his conditions, as if just job-stressed, but consults Dr. Padley for depression. Spencer surprisingly says to be relieved that Harvey sneakily called their parents, but Maddie calls home threatening to run away forever if they come collect them. ...

Jett is far from impressed by Palmer's embarrassing 'prehistoric' dance lesson, yet lets cool-fatherly Liam convince him to turn up anyway for a kids dance, in search of a realistic alternative for Indy. Casey can't risk breaking his semi-parole-terms and Tamara wouldn't let him, so she agrees to come along when possessive ex Nelson turns up. Kyle realized just in time that Sasha's clingy blabbermouth-mate told him she's at Casey's to knock him out.

Kyle has knocked down Nelson and delivers him to senior sergeant Mike Emerson, who hears them, Casey and Tamara, then concludes her story must be checked out before charges may be made. Casey thanks Kyle, finally acknowledging him implicitly as a true brother. Jett feels ridiculed at the disco as Palmer's moves are far from cool and even Liam's fail to truly impress any girl, but Palmer ends up pointing out a shy girl who ogled at him and eagerly laughs even when he tries John's ancient silly move.

Heath is disheartened after grandma Connie meanly sticks to her sole custody, so he must tell Darcy, who blames him, she can't move in. Heath blames Bianca for giving him false hope with disastrous results. Casey relaxes a bit with Tamara. Spencer found a menial job but is sort of relieved that Harvey called Maddie's mother Tanya Osborne, inclined to follow her reasoning that the youngsters must realize their potential or will end up resenting each-other, so he wants her to return to music and considers medical studies after all.

Despite Kyle's mediating efforts, Heath takes his murderous mood about Darryl's absence and the lost custody out on Liam, who even has to stay after his shift to do dishes, then taunts him till a dare for a fist-blow works. Casey and Tamara want to live together, but the janitorial job at the surf-club Palmer gave him falls trough when a board member learns about his sentence, so April gets Irene to allow Tamara to move in there. Spencer and Maddie say goodbye, as her mother sends her to boarding school to realize her musical potential as violinist.

Jett refuses to tell the embarrassing truth when bullied abusively to make assignments for Tilda Hogan, whom Rosie passed of as her 'isister Hannah', a ploy Sasha finds out about unamused but puzzled. Heath continues his game of abusing Liam by 'demotion', but now has to step up as manager, which he can't handle. Zealous Kyle can't watch how Darryl's restaurant risk being run into the ground and pulls Liam in line.

Romeo finds a new career: taking over the presently neglected gym and turning it into a healthy enterprise again, with business advice from Indy. Jett feigns illness, still hiding he's being bullied by Tilda, whose faked identity finally gets Sasha to discover Rosie's secret: she's living alone on money from her divorced father. Stress-wrecked Sid has taken a day of unpaid leave to see Dr. Padley at a mental institution, but Dex finds out and turns up there. Marilyn presides over a reconciliation attempt between fed-up Alf and lying gambler Celia.

Romeo nervously rehearses with Harvey how to present his gym project for a bank loan, which is declined for lack of security. Sid is actually relieved that Dex found out about his therapy and supports him unconditionally, so they return home. There Sid apologizes for failing to support Romeo lately and generously offers to become his silent partner, which should convince the bank to approve a loan for the same sum. After promising Alf no-nonsense gambling rehab, Celia invites desired parter in crime Sheldon Atkinson fro closure in joint therapy, only to find him ...

Back in jail, Casey finds Jamie transferred there, Adam's lawyers having lost interest now the Sharp fortune is frozen. Prison gang bully Courtney Freeman threatens Jamie, whom who wants by way of hazing to beat up Casey, who warns Zac, but after his shift the game is on. Just back after a breather, still mourning Adam, Darryl has to rescue the restaurant as Kyle warns Heath's clueless incompetence and firing Liam chased the chef and messed up the supply orders. By the time he can go to Natalie, she's kissing her ex Zac again. Celia resists temptation and hence breaks...

Casey has taken another beating in jail, fighting back and landing bully Casey in infirmary, whose gang forced terrified rookie Jamie to hit Casey. Casey tells Tamara to stop visiting him in jail, to keep his 'free' life unspoiled. He didn't even confide in Zac, whom Darryl threatens, demanding more protection then 'kid brother' accepts. Heath avoided bothering big brother so long, but clever, loyal Nick informs him after discovering cash missing, actually Liam's doing, yet not enough to fire managerial misfit Heath. Darryl tells Heath not to feel guilty or despair. ...

Casey finally relaxes frolicking on the beach with Tamara and gets Darryl to stop leaning on Zac. Kyle warns thief Liam but decides not to tell Darryl, who just has too much on his mind and insists on more self-reliance. To their relief, Casey decides not to testify against Kyle in court, but Tamara may still and Adam's lawyers have pulled out. Romeo decides, despite Indy's prejudice, to hire Casey as part-time, gratefully devoted gym assistant. Dex has a hard time figuring out his university schedule and is not amused when April suggests he might wait for the next ...

Jett ran out of 'sick' excuses, so John send shim back to school, where he tries to stay around startled Gino to avoid bully Tilda, only to get beaten again after school, just when John arrives. Spencer returns, seeking comfort now their parents sent Maddy to boarding school, but Roo convinces him to return and attempt getting her back. His father Ian Harrington comes looking for him, just after Roo found Maddy, who ran away to rejoin Spencer, so they rush after his bus. Dex openly resents April still treating him as if helpless, so Sid tells them to talk sense again.

Heath is almost amused when ignorant Celia scolds him and all River Boys unworthy of Bianca, who looks down only on his tattoos, yet listens up when she apologizes, having heart about Rocko's death, and says a relationship strong enough to survive that is a match made in heaven, so he finally proposes. Jett objects to any protective measure from Gina, who sends him Sasha, whom he tells it's poetic justice for him a former bully to have the tables turned. Spencer stands up to his father Ian Harrington, preferring a complete break with home over separation from Maddy, ...

Heath is not amused that Bianca won't even explain why his wedding proposal would be out of line, only to be scolded again as his offer to withdraw it is taken as 'proof' he didn't mean it. Spencer is amused how Roo's fussing about school preparations rekindles Harvey's bridal obsession trauma. Unable to find a new footing, Dex and April take some time apart, which suits neither them or Sid.

Heath accepts Celia's heirloom engagement ring to propose again to Bianca, who finally lets April's advice sink in, cued by Heath, so it's yes and Celia finds the courage to leave. Spencer makes a perfect start at school, Maddy however, being welcomed by Sasha, triggers instable Rosie's suicidal jealousy.

Frolicking on the beach with Tamara, Casey spots Rosie pulling down Sassha and saves them from drowning. Next he tells Zac to stop volunteering as his guardian angel 'to impress Nat', yet jealous lover Darryl insists he must let Zac help, not just to get into a training program but also better protection against jail animal Courtney. Tamara still refuses to let Kyle off the hook, even for Casey.

Back in jail, Casey rejects Zac's help and most forgivingly offers his friendship to Jamie, commiserating over their fiendish fathers. Courtney Freeman wants to punish Jaime painfully for not shunning Casey, who gets stung with a stint in the ensuing fight. Romeo realizes that preparation are far from finished hours before his renovated gym's grand opening. Jett is falsely accused of vandalizing Tilda's schoolbooks, which she committed, and interim Nat believes her. Darryl's attitude puzzles Nat.

Badly battered, in prison infirmary, Casey stops Darryl from taking it out on Jamie, who seems genuinely grateful and terrified. Kyle is furious to find Liam still helps himself to a 'manager's salary', yet decides Darryl has enough on his plate, and after a tirade from Tamara that he'll never really be a Braxton brother, splits leaving a sorry-note. Romeo's "Body and Soul" gym's opening is nearly a disaster thanks to Palmer's incompetent electric handyman's work, but Alf's generator saves the evening. Jett can barely control his fury until bully Tilda betrays herself...

Romeo reassures Casey, who expected to be fired, his job is safe, even if the Walkers feel the new gym can barely afford hiring interims while he's in infirmary. Sid insists that Romeo must be tested now his shoulder is badly strained and seems to stumble upon another problem. Zac arranged that Casey is eligible for early release if he testifies against Courtney, but he refuses as Jamie would suffer dearly. Tamara claims she'll dump him unless he accepts. Ingrate Maddie treats Roo as if her domineering mother and returns Alf's violin gift, saying she won't continue ...

Romeo is diagnosed with melanoma, but swears Sid not to tell Indi, at least until it's confirmed malignant or not. Nick spends the night on the beach, but his fugue is cut short when he's found and brought back by Heath, whose confidence is shocked by his separation from Darcy. Darryl tells Nick to stay put and never doubt fraternal loyalty, whatever it takes. Nick duly returns Tamara's mean loyalty doubts by pointing out she deserts Casey in his darkest hour. Scolded 'pretty useless' by jealous Darren, Zac successfully plays his last trump to convince Casey to accept...

Romeo won't see the specialist Sid urgently recommends unless someone fills in at the gym. With Casey recovering, he asks Heath, who initially refuses because his spontaneous application was rejected on account of his drug past, yet reconsiders to keep Casey's seat warm and takes to it brilliantly. Nick gets Darryl to ask Liam why they can't collaborate anymore. Lial admits the theft, gives not motive and is bitterly fired. Dex does well his first day back in college, but April is lost and realizes she can't do without him.

Furious that Tilda can't be expelled until she had three official warnings and her mother protects her blindly, even aggressively, Jett gets a pep-talk from Spencer to try probing for the bully's motive. Dex's second day is miserably too as his memory breaks down, next he discovers April also put up a brave front but feels lost without him. Liam pretends he had not reason to steal from Angelo's, but sends all the loot to Paris.

Casey panics as Zac still hasn't got confirmation if the deal will go trough hours before he must return to juvenile detention. Jett is bullied again to make Tilda's homework, but brilliantly follows Specer's advice to outsmart her by exposing her in a well-written Romeo and Guliette book report which wrecks her social standing and leads to expulsion. Casey applauds Tamara returning to school and questions her back-tracing just on account of the ridiculous uniform. Now Spencer proves himself Harvey's ideal deckhand and Maddy sort of makes up with Roo, Alf warns the ...

As Casey's deal seems to fall trough, Darryl suggests fleeing, but he chooses to do it by the book. At the last moment, Zac comes trough, confiding later into Natalie it cost him his job. Romeo bites his pain to keep up his alibi to hide his melanoma tests from Indi. Sid delivers the horror diagnosis: cancers stage four, widely spread, probably fatal in a matter of months. Even Rosie turns down Sasha's absurd petition against the school uniform and Tamara gives in.

Romeo still can't bring himself to tell Indy about his cancer, yet promises Sid to do so. Seeing Heath did a good job running the gym in his absence, Romeo offers him a permanent contract, which is accepted as Casey isn't fired. Nick steps up in the restaurant, stopping Heath from helping himself to cash, and offers initially incredulous Tamara tutoring now she caved in on the uniform issue, which is passed on to the school board. Palmer and Gina hoped to surprise Jett with a formal adoption application, but his response is a tirade they can't do that to their 'real ...

After Kyle warns Liam may commit irreparable errors, Romeo finds him and sets his dark gloom in perspective by disclosing his own cancer death sentence. Darryl is tired of his tribe wining and brawling, so he lays down the law on his brothers and their girls. Kyle is to manage the restaurant, Heath the gym and later so-far jealously-suspicious ingrate Casey, Tamara to dissociate herself from the charges against Kyle. Next, Natalie is told to leave Darruyl alone, having chosen Zac, and take in Casey and Tamara. After working on the boat with Spencer, Jett cools down ...

Freed from their stifling parents, Spencer and Maddy feel it's probably time to indulge in physical intimacy, yet still hesitate. After Marilyn gently chases them kissing on the couch, the surrogate parents feel they must have 'the talk' same gender, only to find waiting wisdom came naturally to their wards. After Darryl tells Zac about Natalie's double game and she messes up a non-date, he duly dumps her too. Sid shares Dex's delight over his recovering memory but notices April's bad start at university borders on reviving her compulsory disorder, while he doubts if ...

Heath finally gets another visit from Darcy, who still wants to live with him, but can't handle hearing her mean granny-guardian won't even tell him about her public swimming competition. Heath keeps her longer then agreed and is arrested by the police. Dex and April learn how much they need each-other, but he sticks to Sid's advice not to get together to avoid becoming independent. She seeks another study partner, but phrases it so the charming student, actually a gentleman-mate of Dex's, assumes it's a date. Alf isn't convinced that parenting Spencer and Maddy, even...

Romeo discretely commences chemo-therapy, supported by Liam, who even pretends to be the patient so Indy won't guess the truth. Her freaking even in that scenario makes Romeo decide not to tell her yet, even if that means postponing vital treatment. Lacking an alternative to bid for another chance with Darcy, Heath grudgingly accepts to seek therapy with young Robin Sutton. Dex applies to get his hospital nursing job back, but only gets a trial as menial orderly.

Romeo waves Sid's plea to tell Indy and resume treatment urgently, demanding time to consider how he wants to be remembered first. Kyle is grateful to his half-brothers and Tamara for reversing their testimonies, as he's now spared a trial for sure. Darryl makes the couple's day be letting them rent cheap part of his premises as improvised apartment. Liam returns the money he stole to Darryl, assuring he doesn't want his job back, then tells only Romeo he sent it to his son and needs to leave town to start over, yet won't leave him hanging yet. Dex impresses a nurse ...

Darryl is so pleased with Kyle's performance as restaurant manager that he doesn't mind hearing Tamara got the night off for no good reason and now invites a school assignment. Casey senses tension between Kyle and Tamara, so he forces them to 'talk trough it' privately, but his confession to have a crush and assume is mutual only stirs a rude denial and walk-out. Jett assures the social worker he considers John and Gina ideal parents, but his confidence his biological father won't object for lack of interest is shocked when they hear Richard booked the first plane. ...

At John's advice, Richard discusses the adoption project privately with Jett, who makes crystal clear he wants the palmer couple as acting parents at all cost and gets his way, Bozic even intends not to contact his long-neglected boy for a while. perfectly behaved Spencer becomes the meat i the sandwich trying to stop Maddie from dodging an assignment as jealous Rosie steals a kiss, also to spite in turn jealous-presumed Sasha.

Romeo is delighted with Heath's performance as acting gym manager and puts him in charge to get away for a few day with Indy, but still won't promise Sid to tell her. Model-behaved Spencer helps pull Maddie in line by telling he won't join her if she runs away from Harvey and Roo, which finally yields overdue apologies and a promise to take house rules seriously after she failed to take Alf's expulsion threat seriously. Zac tells Health there's no standard formula for therapy, he just needs to stick it out to earn a shot at better custody terms.

Romeo pulls all the stops to treat himself and Indy to a perfect romantic weekend, complete with hot air balloon trip and fairytale tent dinner. Kyle insists to throw an engagement party for Heath, which most of Bianca's friends cop out off. Casey is desperate to resume his gym job, but Heath wisely demands Sid's OK first. Even carrying some bottles for the party proves too heavy for the convalescing knave. Spencer is initially pleased with a surprise visit from his big brother Chris, but it gets him in a worrisome mood about their mother.

Heath's engagement party starts well. Darryl is surprised when Adam's sister Ricky turns up, but she's not vindictive, ever resumes their old affair. Everybody expected mother Braxton to cause trouble, but she actually likes Tamara. When Kyle acts defensive, she suggests he has a crush on Casey's girl, which starts a fraternal brawl. Romeo continues his romantic weekend by the lighthouse, but still tells her nothing when Indy suggests it may be time for kids.

Romeo couldn't bring himself to tell Indy everything, so he leaves while she sleeps, taking a motorbike road with Liam. Sid can't stand Indy's startled desperation and breaks the medical confidentiality. After Casey beat Kyle a bloody nose for having a crush on Tamara, the half-brother he may never fit in, but Darryl explains Casey's tragic love history and gets them to shake hands. Heath is sued to ignoring his ma's bitching, as Ricky explain being her favorite, but sensing it's getting too much for Bianca firmly stands up.

Adventurous Chris Harrington convinces 'kid brother' Spencer there's no point in running away from home only to be boringly disciplined, so they take a few days off to go hiking, with Harvey's hesitant blessing. Sid tells the home-front that Romeo is terminal, refused treatment and probably won't return ever. Jett even manages to add pleasant informal 'clauses' when the Palmers celebrate signing the first batch of adoption papers. When Rosie cries rape, but her full story shows she never made clear to Alexander Mulelns her earlier signals were misleading, Sasha makes ...

Jett can't wait for the adoption to be finalized and recruits Maddie, who's bored in Spencer's absence, which is as hard for substitute-father Harvey, for the lifeguard training. Dex confides his family tragedy concerning Romeo into nursing colleague Steph, and seeing jealous April's overprotective meddling dumps her and gets Steph to agree to kissing terms. Zac applies as high-school teacher, openly admitting his double prison past to Gina.

The Harrington brothers return from their hike. Chris is cheerful, boasting about his overseas adventures, and joins the gym, where he flirts with Indi. Spencer is moody and evasive, even almost rude to Harvey when questioned why he's aloof even to Maddy. Casey is initially denied the gym job Romeo promised him by spiteful Indy, who resents everybody who may have failed to tell about Romeo's cancer, but Sid and Dex explain and make her reconsider. Casey assures her he didn't even know, starts on trial basis, proves himself great at handling clients and helpful in ...

Spencer finally tells that since Chris told him how badly their parents miss him and blame each-other, he wants at least to try returning home, but only if Maddie agrees to come along. She selfishly refuses either to commit or to take any responsibility for Spencer's dilemma, so he tells Chris it's off. Darryl, encouraged by Nat, goes to see Rickie who is taking pictures on the beach as neither believed the other wants a relationship. Dex is delighted when Steph offers to get physical, yet can't get beyond kissing until he makes a clean break with April. She now just ...

Heath and Bianca celebrate 'physically' when Connie finally agrees to let them receive Darcy. Rickie is impressed, seeing the hunk boxers-only and semi-domesticated, plays hard to get but still give 'one night stand' Darryl a sequel. The party mood at Irene's is wrecked when Darcy isn't allowed to come after all. Alexander Mullens triumphs when the police finds Rosie's abuse complaint unsubstantiated. Yet Gina keeps reining in only him, not th verbally abusive girls, until Sasha knocks him a bloody nose, earning a suspension.

Sasha finds herself in trouble for punching Mullens and, when he sees how angry Tamara is, Kyle decides to help out.Meanwhile, Heath and Bianca try to impress Connie and John and Gina hit a stumbling block in their attempt to adopt Jett.

Darryl notices the tension about Tamara, gets Kyle to admit he kissed Tamara and promptly expels his half-brother from the Braxton home to a caravan till further notice. When Palmer finally stops dodging a medical by Sid, fearing it would compromise not only his adoption application but even his foster father status, the results are encouraging, but the department has the last word.

Casey is initially glad to hear Darryl evicted Kyle from their home, yet insists, in vain, he should be fired an preferentially leave town. After Kyle apologizes for misreading Tamara's signals, Casey has to admit he doesn't really trust her and takes Kyle on a rid to settle the matter either way. Rascal Jett is back to his cheeky attitude even before the authorities accept Palmer's clean bill of health and allow filing for the final adoption procedure in court. Sid is not impressed by Dex's efforts to sing Steph's praise, fearing it's just a rebound, and she refuses ...

Casey takes the gym company car to drive Kyle to the forest section where he was once tied down to die but accidentally locks himself out with the cellphone in the car. Instead of fighting, they discuss the root of their tension, beyond the Tamara incidents, and agree to accept each-other as half-brothers and blame their late scumbag father, not each-other. Delighted, Darryl invites Kyle back home, but he declines to think over his family position. Despite Palmer's wise efforts and advice, Indi intends to report the car stolen and coldly fires Casey even after hearing...

Heath amazes by behaving as a gentleman when called needlessly to take over Casey's shift at the gym before the knave managed, supported by Sid's lecture on alienating everybody on account of Romeo's leaving, to regain her trust and his job. Alas, a letter from Connie's lawyer proving he's not legally Darcy's father infuriates him enough to answer Zac's suggestion to seek help with his fists, first on the punching bag, then on Zac's face. Chris fails again to talk Spencer into returning home to "save their parent's marriage". Bored Chris's ting with clearly interested...

Spencer and Maddie finally realize, cued by Harvey and Roo, that Chris has been playing them against each-other. Having failed to break them up, Chris admits he mainly wants Spencer back home to relieve the pressure to succeed him as perfect home, and is invited to stay in Summer Bay as happy misfit instead. Calmed down by Zac's boxing outlet, Heath takes stock and decides against a court-forced paternity test, which might confuse and alienate Darcy for good. Despite Rosie's own denial, Sasha gets everyone to believe her a fragile 'abuse victim' in need of therapy, ...

Jett, who lavishly ensures himself of treats, and his adoptive parents to be are tickled pink, collecting congratulations and lunch gifts on the big day when it becomes final by signing in court. However driving to the city, Gina gets nightmarish visions of her or the whole family standing on the road to stop her, then faints, luckily without crashing. Dex overcomes Steph's reluctance to brave Sid and gets her to start over. April declares herself resigned and out for another date.

Chris is tickled-pink with his new home, but Spencer promises Maddie to instill some distance rules on his brother, especially as the plan to celebrate Spencer's birthday with their 'first night'. Jett, Palmer and their friends are god-struck by Gina's sudden death, presumably by cardiac arrest, as Sid must have confirmed by autopsy. Heath worries that Bianca's eagerness to step in with school arrangement may indicate a denial phase, as when they lost Rocco. John doubts if he'll still be able to raise Jett on his own.

Xavier returns for Gina's funeral, alas without any sibling. He tries to console and reassure Jett, who realizes tat his adoption, which wasn't filed officially, is unsure as John can't even face them, which changes after a pep-talk from Alf. Casey bravely contends with two course on top of his gym job. Seeing that's impossible, Tamara blames hopeless gym boss Indi, but so rudely that Casey has to escort her out. Darryl starts wondering about Rickie's erratic moods for instant sex and hasty exits after mysterious calls, but gets as only reply there's no-one else.

Xavier presides with dignity over Gina's funeral, finding most support himself with Dex. Only Casey can't attend, due to shrew boss Indi, but patiently waits for raging Tamara to start understanding. Even she approves of his promise to keep an eye on Jett, like Heath and Bianca, when Xavier resumes his police duties. Darryl is surprised when the police informs about Rickie's whereabouts and tells sergeant Mike Emerson nothing.

Zac gets conformation of his teaching job but tells Nat he's pay off debts first, so they need a third house-mate to pay Liam's rent-share. Kyle applies and despite Zac's initial doubts gets in. Dex duly scolds all too flirtatious Steph's overconfident nursing carelessness. Darryl questions Rickie, who claims the police wants her for the legal businesses Adam left to her.

Heath expected all wedding details to be decided by Bianca, as she cares much more and resents any River Boy input, yet promises to 'show an interest' once cued she felt he didn't care. Spencer is eager to finally, by way of birthday present, spend 'their first time' with Maddy, so Alf comes up with the perfect gift: a separate caravan for clingy brother Chris. Dex finds Steph failed to respond to his warnings regarding faked observations in patient Thompson's file and hence reports his lover, who compromises his orderly position too by confessing their inappropriate ...

Heath solves Bianca's indecisive stalemate by taking her to the city for a relaxing luxury hotel, where they agree to get married right there, without fuzz. Spencer blames Harvey's unsolicited bad advice for putting doubts in his and Maddie's mind, as she blows up their failed 'first night' until she declares loving him but unable to remain together. Dex hoped for support from Sid, but owing up the saucy truth about Steph earns him only biter reproaches, until he has another seizure.

Heath and Bianca hastily prepare for their city wedding, but decide last moment against the whole eloping, and that she will accept succeeding Gina as principal. Spencer is bitter to see Maddie on without him and firmly refuses to ease her guilt for such disloyalty after he left everything for her. Dex recovers well and is offered to grovel an keep his orderly job, but decides to stop his nursing studies, feeling he's a patient liability.

Palmer frantically tries to 'replace' Gina by meticulously sticking to her every domestic futility, but Jett is happier returning to school, except for acting principal Bianca 'invading her office'. New history teacher Zac senses Jett's class can't concentrate yet, so he takes to to play beach soccer. Jett sits apart, until Casey gently, big brotherly drags him in, even if this further compromises his own course, to Tamara's open frustration on top of again helping parasitical Indi. Nat points out there's no case to make against Alexander as Bella's belated 'sexual ...

Casey hears Chris flirt with Indi and tells him to back down given Romeo's tragic leaving. Instead of gratitude, he gets the sack for 'meddling', only to be rehired with apologies and a promise to take account of his study. Darryl can't be bothered however often Kyle insists he should look at the restaurant's improbably good results. Rickie remains evasive about her legal troubles and secretly steals $100,000 using Kyle's laptop. After Jett makes clear no domestic excellence can help forget Gina, at the contrary, he and John agree to try living 'like men', without ...

Jett assures John that he wants to resume school, trusting Zac. Chris makes up with Indi and accepts to flirt with April to help her get over Dex, but she sees straight trough the ploy. Kyle is not amused that Darryl refuses to bother with restaurant business and discovers that $100,000 was mysteriously siphoned off.

Chris can't stand Spencer just staying in bed after Maddy cruelly dumped him, and unlike Harvey has the courage to literally drag him out and to the beach, but can't arouse any interest in other girls. Palmer receives child welfare case worker Brennan, who confirms his whole adoption procedure is back to scratch. He refuses even to consider resign himself to the precarious foster father status, even after Morgan's legal advice is to lay low, but dreads telling Jett. Dex refuses to reconsider his nursing training drop-out and hospital resignation, or to consult April, ...

Chris is delighted when Indi lets his flirting lead to kissing and sex in his caravan, responds wittily relieved when she makes clear, cued by Roo, that it was meaningless. Dex and April regret their breakup and discover that's Mutual, so the soul-mates make up and agree that's right while working out how he should apply to keep his nursing job. Darryl's questions only scare off Rickie, who secretly meets up with her mastermind. It's none other then Adam, who wants revenge for being 'left for dead'.

Desperate to bail out Darryl, who remains uninterested concerning the restaurant even now he believes his affair with Rickie blown over, Kyle accepts to act as delivery boy 'asking no questions', secretly photographed by Rickie, as part of Adam's revenge plan. Casey is happy again, working his tail off, studying and frolicking with Tamara. Zac questions Alexander's mate Lachlan after more unfounded allegations from Sasha's verbally abusive pack and is surprised to hear the indignant response he's nothing like Mullen anyway.

Casey does a great job as Jett's substitute big brother, standing in for Xavier, which Palmer acknowledges gratefully. John finally musters the courage to tell Jett the adoption is back to scratch and looking far less hopeful, which causes an angrily disappointed fugue. Heath gets a desperate call from Darcy, who refuses to believe her granny's allegation that he's a thief. Zac gets Bianca's illegal permission to question Lachlan about the Mullen incident, Nat scolds her foolish risks.

After searching half of Summerbay, Palmer realizes where runaway Jett must be: "Gina's" principal's office. They agree to go on as father and son, regardless of the adoption formalities. Indignant Kyle denies any knowledge of the theft charge Connie uttered against Heath. Maddy realizes she really still loves Spencer and begs till he takes her back.

Heath's fist expresses his conviction that Darryl sabotaged his custody bid by bribing Connie, although nobody sees how that could even work, nor a motive. Chris spoils Indy, until she suspects he may develop an interest in a relationship and repeats that's not mutual. Dex fears his job is a lost cause, April insists he must hope and fight for it.

Casey tries to mediate between his big brothers, but both tell him to butt out. Spencer discovers that Maddy isn't prepared to commit to a proper relationship again and firmly dumps her, for good. Encouraged by Alf, Palmer finds out to his relief that Jett is happy to continue as foster son, regardless of adoption prospects. Ricky realizes that Darryl believed Adam dead and didn't intentionally betray anyone, but her brother demands she helps exact terrible revenge and starts checking up on her.

Darryl refuses even to consider Casey's suggestion, inspired by Tamara, that Kyle is the only one with known opportunity and some motive to break up the full brothers. Spencer is over Maddy, but as Harvey remarks hasn't shaken off his caregiver reflex, which now focuses on 'abuse victim' Rosie, who gets hired as temp waitress in the diner but tests positive for pregnancy at Sid's insistence. Darryl grudgingly grants Kyle last-minute a few days off, in fact to earn another $25,000 for the restaurant as courier, ignoring Rickie hires him for Adam, despite her doubts if ...

Jett delights Palmer by seeming his rascally self again, ready for school, then worries him deeply by truancy. John is relieved when he happens to see Jett with a girl, even kissing, and delighted when the scamp even owns up about wagging school to be with Nina. Spencer makes Maddy realize she really lost him by refusing to tell what's going on with Rosie. Like Zac, he finds out the drama queen left class yelling at nosy, meddling Sasha because she wants to keep her pregnancy secret, but the boys get her to discuss options with Syd, only Nat meanly objects to being ...

Palmer is so pleased that Jett regains normal confidence and comes clean about his girlfriend that the rascal isn't even punished for ditching school. Heath now acts as calming voice of reason to the Scott sisters, first when Dex asks him for a better report in their interest and next when Bianca stresses over Zac and Natalie's open bickering in class over his 'amateur' approach to help pupils rather then blindly refer to the counselor by the book, which has broken them up as a couple.

Heath considers Rocco's death anniversary the ideal time to start going for another baby, even though it can't replace him or Darcy, but Bianca coldly claims she'll never face parenthood again. Jett is so nervous about his first dinner date with Nina that he even asks for John as discrete chaperon, luckily curbed by Zac and Marilyn. Darryl ignores a frustrated sneer from Heath about helping everyone else's kids.

Heath is shocked that Bianca refuses considering another pregnancy ever, yet concludes soon he still wants to stay together more. Chris helps Indy looking for Romeo, but it seems he's probably out of state and covered his tracks. Spencer is a rock of support for pregnant Rosie, who finally gets her checkup and advice on options from Sid. Only seeing hum hug her shakes up Maddy, who is determined to win him back. Housemates Zac and Nat make up.

Seeing Indy won't accept Romeo not being found, Chris suggests a private detective, like the ones who found him for his parents. Pretending the accept everybody's warning it's a huge expense for probably no result or just bitter disappointment, she still contacts him. Dex's shaky confidence on the morning before his hospital board interview is shattered by a role play April meant to build up. Spencer learns how jealous Maddy is of Rosie, sets straight that he has no romantic interest, just supports her choice for motherhood, but stresses he won't consider taking his ...

Casey hears from busybody April, who gave up, that Dex doesn't intend to defend himself before the hospital board, quietly discusses the options and thus saves the student's nursing career. Kyle does the second courier job for Rickie, whom Adam orders to dump Darryl. Jett has dumped Nina, refuses to discuss it with John but confides in Marilyn that he just dares not be happy since Gina died.

Even another surfing lesson from 'big brother' Casey, who shares his own absurd guilt experience after his father's death, can't quite cure Jett's gloom. Kyle is forced to admit to hostile Tamara he's slipping cash into Angelo's till to help Darryl. Rickie convinces her not to confront Darryl, then reluctantly dumps him, forced by Adam's decision to snap the trap early. Casey can just tell Jett to run before the police bursts in and finds the cash loot and weapon from a robbery.

Senior sergeant Mike Emerson admits to deeply concerned Darryl that Casey may well have been set up, but can only advice a fine lawyer, as procedure yields nothing but incriminating evidence, likely to mean months of remand. Rickie convinces Tamara not to tell Darryl about her suspicions against Kyle. Sid can't convince pregnant Rose to seek family support, but being scolded promiscuous at school makes her decide drop out of school to become full time mother, demanding Spencer's support.

Darryl swears to find and eliminate whoever set up Casey. Kyle smells a rat and gets Rickie to confess she planted the cash and gun, yet still believes she got anonymous instructions and ignored about the armed robbery. Jett is furious that John won't even let him testify in favor of his big mate, yet Marilyn gets him to accept the paternalistic protection. Heath snaps at Bianca for expecting him to pay more attention to her petty school preoccupations, in this case convincing pregnant Rose not to leave school, and decides to try helping Casey on his own.

Jett still can't get Palmer's permission to testify in Casey's favor, even after Kyle points out he may be subpoenaed anyway. Heath finally accepts to close ranks when Kyle convinces him Darryl is no culprit but fellow victim of a mastermind targeting all Braxton brothers. Sid discovers the huge sums Indy stole from the gym to pay a private eye who meanwhile admitted having traced the wrong Todd Smith to a London clinic.

Zac, not Nat, sees trough Rosie's trick to seek counseling just to appeal to Spencer's protector complex. . Even after Sid gets Indy to admit she stole from the already ailing gym for the useless detective, she remains unrepentant. Dex tutors April wonderfully, yet she only takes to identical cues from Sid, who confirms Dex's sensible approach.

The Braxtons brothers now realize that someone is trying to hurt Darryl by playing them apart, but he still refuses to suspect Rickie. Casey changes his mid about seeing Tamara just before he's transferred to remand, but Adam got wind of their plans and uses plan B: having her kidnapped. Dex's reservations about working with April under Sid as hospital trainees while living together are waved.

Darryl, Kyle and Heath realize that Tamara is probably in trouble, maybe even Rickie. Indeed both are locked up by Adam's henchmen, including an ex of Rickie, who cruelly attempts an escape. To John's great relieve, Jett finally finds the courage to ask eager Nina to become his girlfriend, but Marilyn is told to keep her distance. Sid is relieved hat Indi finally seems to accept Romeo's departure. The gym however is in trouble, with both Braxtons employees unavailable.

Adam's henchmen have caught Rickie and Tamara again, he waves their plea to reconsider Darryl's alleged ingratitude. When Darryl and Kye visit Casey in city prison, he keeps asking about Tamara, so Darryl pretends they sent their girls to the city, with Heath and Bianca. April is delighted their hospital apprenticeships start under Sid's supervision, but as Dex expected she can't handle his pertinent criticisms. At Sid's suggestion, Harvey and Alf 'volunteer' to help out at the gym, but rather bother then help the clients and Harvey hurts his won foot.

Dex is surprised how hard April takes it when he slips out during their hospital bickering over her misplaced confidence that he is the smarter one. Sid makes Dex soul-search if he somehow regrets having opted for nursing rather then med-school, but April duly makes up with apologies and kisses. Zac is not amused by sassy pupil Holly Chapman's obvious crush on him. Ever-helpful Spencer is getting really tired of jealous ex Maddy's fickle nonsense, which only drives him closer to Sasha, especially as they realize both having doctor parents.

Zac's patience wearing down, he makes clear to have no interest in deluded pupil Holly, refusing to tutor her. Spencer tells jealously bitching ex Maddy to leave him alone now Holly is her best mate while he stands by pregnant Rose. Harvey fails to reconcile Palmer with Marilyn.

Adam pays a surprise jail visit to Casey in an attempt to convince him Darryl doesn't care for Tamara, then calls equally startled big brother with a cruel dilemma: he must choose whether Rickie or Tamara is released. Jett has had enough of Palmer refusing to make up with Marilyn and tricks them to 'rescue' him together. It works, but they sort of reciprocate in lieu of punishment.

While Heath and Kyle plead they should choose to have Tamara liberated, Darryl refuses to chose or trust Adam to keep his word. So while Heath distracts he henchmen, his brothers slip out to search for the kidnapping site, but are noticed. Adam says the deal is off and dumps Tamara, who fainted earlier, apparently lacking medication. Zac proves Holly's deluded crush on him by proving her pornographic creative writing essay to Bianca, but she sticks to procedure, hearing the pupil first. When she corners Zac, he clearly tells her off, so her 'love' turns into hate and ...

Having found Tamara unconscious, the brothers carry her home, then Darryl takes her to hospital, where Sid diagnoses no serious physical damage but massive amnesia. Kylis insists to visit, which helps somewhat with he memory, but allows the police to arrest him as prime robbery suspect. Heath still can't convince Darryl to consider Ricky dead and/or guilty. Zac is suspended as Bianca follows procedure, which only minds the pupil's claim to be abused. Maddy gingerly risks her 'only friend' by telling that Holly is the one who stalked Zac, but without a confession ...

Hearing there is an opening in the gym due to the Braxtons' troubles, Spencer joins the gym staff. Dex worries about his exam results, while Indi surprisingly passes despite the gym troubles. Palmer gloats to Marilyn about enterprising rascal Jett. Spencer reassures Maddy she won't be without friends after telling the truth about Zac. April promises to Sid she'll help treat Tamara professionally.

Jett shows no interest to visit John in hospital, but not traumatized by Gina's death there, rather furious that remaining 'parent' Palmer broke his promise to take care of himself by engaging in a gym contest with -also injured- Harvey until his back gave way. Dex gets stuck with nightmare-patient John, even forced to give him a sponge bath. When he finally checks his grades, they are decent, as Sid says great given his head injury, but he fears recovery may stop without regaining his former genius level. Spencer is delighted to be offered a gym job. Sasha ...

Equally seriously and comically, Jett is all over startled palmer, ordering him to man up and be the decisive parent the utter rascal needs as much as his requited love. Zac is far from off the hook as the press is on his 'pupil abuse'. Heath is ordered to stay put as second big brother in line while Darryl tries to rescue Ricy alone, but when he finds the lair, Adam shoots his former ward in cold blood to sadistically enjoy his lethal agony.

Zac and his school colleagues are increasingly frustrated to be without recourse against Holy's vicious lies till further notice. Just before Adam can give Darryl a fatal second shot, Ricky wrestles the gun from him, sends her brother away and calls an ambulance, then confesses to he police having set up Kyle and Casey. After Darryl barely survives surgery, Adam slips in, determined to administer a lethal injection. Heath dozed off, but is awoken by Dex and chases the fiend.

After Heath overpowers Adam and helps the police arrest him, the prospect of sentence reduction suffices to admit the injection contained potassium, so Sid can counter it, but recovery remains most uncertain and brain damage likely. Kyle takes Tamara home, but nothing kick-starts her memory. The court releases Casey, who finds his family a worse mess then their home. Sid helps Dex accept the limits of medicine, both for patients and his own recovery.

Kyle chaperons Tamara, whom Sid sends home in the hope to kick-start her memory, but she recognizes nothing, nor Casey, who grudgingly decides to move out for the time being, yet jealously tries to blame poor pussyfooting Kyle. After waiting hand and foot on hospital-released John, Jett and Mariluyn suspect he's milking the situation shamelessly and swear revenge after consulting Sid. Jett is delighted that VJ is finally back from Crete, but his mother Leah is still traumatized by the Jamie incidents, so after bumping into Kyle she prefers to spend the night at ...

Jett and Marilyn play into John's rivalry with Harvey to set up his comeuppance. Spencer takes a good start in the gym. Indi pushes him and Sasha together, but he wisely decides against another relationship for now, yet lets her steal a kiss. VJ is happy to be back home, Leah feels like redecorating.

Casey refuses to let traitor Ricky near Darryl, but Heath decides otherwise, rightly hoping her voice may trigger comatose big brother regaining conscience. Bianca's press declaration, against procedure, about Zac's innocence is punished by the department with suspension, likely to be followed by dismissal. Spencer decides he wants a relationship with Sasha, but they agree to hold off until Maddy knows.

Even after Darryl awakes from coma, Casey wants to chase Ricky, but Heath insists to thank her and grant regular visits. Kyle does his best to help Tamara remember her love for Casey, but is told she wants him. When she sort of remembers Leah's house, Kyle offers his room and sleeps on the couch, only to be sneaked at by her at night to steal a kiss. Heath is startled that Bianca accepts being demoted as her temperament isn't fit for the job of principal. Despite her opposition to student support demonstrations, Maddy convinces the kids to go trough and suspiciously ...

Zac passively encourages the students demonstration to save Bianca's job as principal, despite her repeated objections. The reporters which previously undermined Zac's reputation now side with both, and the department withdraws the sanctions. Kyle just can't convince Tamara that Casey is her beloved, so he agrees when Leah suggests he better moves back to the Braxton house. Darryl wants to resume his relationship with Ricky, but she decides to leave town and implores, who refused even to visit, to by there for him, 'at least as a friend'.

Jett has no alternative then follow Palmer's dubious advice when neither VJ nor his girl Nina want to tell why those two can't stand being together, so Jett must chose between his buddy and her. Starting on his bucket-list, Dex decides last minute against humiliatingly joining a lifeguard training session, barely escapes a cruel 'hazing' by Jett at his first surf lesson thanks to VJ and decides the only way to actually turn his life around is proposing to April. Zac believes Nat is hiding still being in love with Darryl and moves out of Leah's, at least for a few days...

Casey is gloomy, in a murderous mood, throwing out Sid and April who insist Tamara may come back to him if her memory returns, packs her things and grimly tries to concentrate on his gym job. Dex buys April a ting despite family warnings against impulsive moves, yet by the time April finds it, has decide not to risk changing their happy rapport needlessly. Alf, Harvey and Roo convince Marilyn by intervention to back down with Palmer.

Casey is a wreck, feeling he lost Tamara forever, hence life is meaningless, so he just lies around and decides against focusing on his gym job too. Kyle resists Tamara's seduction until she concludes it's better to leave town altogether, then kisses her passionately. Heath finds Darryl's big brother job hopeless in their love-triangle case. Marilyn convinces Alf's gang that she feels true love for Palmer.

Casey tries to forget his broken heart by working his tail off in the gym. Finding out Tamara didn't leave town after all, he gets excessive new hope of winning her back. Now he's in the mood to resume his big brother role with Jett surfing, which cures the rascal's gloom. Hearing about and failing to dim kid brother's expectations, Kyle confesses her infidelity with him. Marilyn confided her crush on Palmer only to Roo, who encourages her to keep it secret, leading to a bizarre non-lethal fishing scene.

Hearing about Tamara's infidelity with Kyle from him, Casey beats his half-brother a black eye. She hesitantly grants Casey a day on the beach, but cuts it short saying she just can't remember and doesn't really care anymore. Hearing from dead-honest Kyle what a thug he was when they met, she shrinks back, but soon returns, ready to commit to him. Kyle is delighted but can't accept leaving town together, being on parole. Harvey's contribution to Marilyn's wed of lies forces her to feign illness to Palmer. Spencer and Sasha delay telling Maddy once more, which allows ...

Jett is furious at VJ for refusing make up with Nina over a collectors card incident that got VJ punished unfairly and her ostracized by his friends. Casey and his own 'silly' primary school frustration convince VJ to attempt a mediation anyhow, but the ultimatum stands. Casey is furious that Darryl accepts a visit from Rickie, but big brother sends him away and demands that she either commits completely to become a couple or leaves his life entirely. Maddy promises to accept Spencer being with Sasha, but now both girls feel awkward around Spencer, who still feels he ...

Heath feels guilty having failed to help Casey against Kyle 'stealing' Tamara and apologizes profusely to Darryl. Promising to do better, he urges big brother to think of himself and go after Ricky before she leaves town for good, surprisingly successfully. Zac is back and soon gets Natalie to admit that she isn't really over Darryl, so she moves out. Dex is down, having dumped his bucket-list, Sid nor April can cheer him up. To heath surprised delight, wicked Connie visits with elated Darcy.

Heath duly mistrusts Connie's surprise visit with Darcy, unlike Bianca, and wrestles with the catch when the crone tells him: she offers regular visits if he abandons every claim to paternal custody rights. After conferring with Sid, April treats Dex to a 'Parisian' snail dinner, in an attempt to revive his bucket-list dreams. Palmer realizes that Marilyn avoids him with lies.

While Heath wrestles with Connie's condition for recognizing his paternity, never to claim custody, Darcy runs away to him. Zac gently makes him consider the real stake and make a stand i the child's interest, which works. Dex overcomes his fear of driving since the accident after April is bitten by a dangerous, unidentified snake to drive her to hospital, as the ambulance takes forever to arrive, but Sid finds that Dex actually gave them their old address. Zac consults a city cop friend and passes on his findings to Natalie: her mother is alive.

Darryl enjoys sharing the bed with Rickie, insists they should commit to each-other and invites her to move in, but she declines, claiming Casey's trauma and his family loyal are insurmountable. Dex feels guilty and a public danger, but his touch gets April to awake and insist they must seize life again, while Sid confides he froze a moment and still fears that might have worsened Dex's brain damage. Zac tells Natalie, who decides to his surprise to move away to meet her mother and start another life chapter however that goes, while he starts to feel rooted. He and ...

Heath finds out who supplied Holly with the drugs she planted to incriminate Zac but he won't testify, while the police also suspects Kyle. The brat already informed the press but offers to clear him after 'a single night'. Casey moves out because Darryl lets Rickie move in, leading to such bickering that neighbor Palmer hoses them down ad warns the Braxton clan is devouring itself. Jealous Casey called Tamara's parents, who offer to take her home, but she chooses Kyle, who scolds Casey's selfish motives.

Casey has slept on the beach, so Indi takes him to the caravan park. The love rival brothers resign to Tamara announcing she's returning to her parents, but after Kyle formally declares his love, she chooses him. Palmer is broke, but dares not tell Jett, who is gloomy with Nina on holiday and VJ bitterly estranged. Spencer graciously accepts making up with Maddy at the goodbye party Sasha throws for Rosie, who moves to her father in the city, but Maddy's jealousy wins out seeing him kiss Sasha.

Financially wiped out by Gina's funeral but unwilling to admit so, especially to Jett, he must be stingy and impose extra chores, while seeking an extra job and cutting down on volunteer work, yet turns down Marilyn's 'embarrassing' help. Sid is told by his 'adult' kids they no longer need him to stay in town, so he should consider another chance to join the Flying Doctors in the outback.

Darryl feels Casey is old enough to decide whether he wants to move back in, but realizing nobody told that Tamara didn't leave town, goes to the gym 'for therapy' to make sure Casey hears from him, yet gets a cold shoulder. Sid tells Sasha it's her call whether they move to Broken Hill, but she wants him to join the Flying Doctors alone. Spencer has to run after 'visiting' winer Maddy just after making love first time with Sasha.

Spencer feels utterly betrayed when Sasha says she plans to follow Sid out of state to avoid the awkward 'triangle' with Maddy, who scolds her a heartless couple wrecker. Zac is relieved that Holly is finally transferred to another class. When she realizes her blackmail is hopeless, she calls him, suggesting she's about to commit suicide from a cliff. Summer Bay gets a surprise visit from Sally, who claims to be on holiday from Thailand with her and Miles's daughter, Pippa 'Pip' junior. Roo, who always felt the black sheep around her, is convinced she has a hidden ...

Heath finally can reassure Darcy that grandmother no longer wants to separate them, she's even being a home nearby. Zac manages to prevent Holly jumping to her death and is rewarded with a full confession, so the drug charges are squashed and his job is safe. After daughter Pippa has a fit, Sally reveals the kid is terminally ill.

Casey is too bitter to talk to anyone, so Kyle's attempt on the beach costs him a black eye, yet ingrate Tamara still blames him and claims they should leave town. Dex decides to move to Broken Hill with Sid, as April accepts to come along. As Pippa's surrogate mother, Leah must be tested, as well as VJ, for congenital mitochondrial disease. Leah's 'protective' lies naturally add to VJ's fear, yet she persists when Jett reports having overheard secretive palavers.

By the time of Sid's goodbye party, Dex and April realize neither wants to move. She only admits that to Irene, but Dex is greatly relieved when Sid assures him never to have expected them to join him anyway. Kyle still hopes Casey will see reason in time, but is punched a bloody nose in public just for trying, Tamara would rather leave Summer Bay. Rickie cruelly denies Darryl nursing help after he exhausting gym session, insisting they can't commit as his loyalty to irreconcilable Casey will win out in the end.

Darryl hopes to 'coordinate testimonies' now Rickie's trial approaches, but Casey makes crystal clear he wants her to get a life sentence. Now Sid and Sasha have moved out, Dex presides over new domestic arrangements with April and Indi, but decides to celebrate first. At the house warming party, Casey gets drunk. When Indi ushers him into bed, he steals a kiss. The only hope for curing Pippa is an excessively expensive experimental clinic in Minnessota, which Sally can't afford- unless she sells the house and caravan park, as Alf suggests.

Casey is mortified by the drunk kiss he stole from Indi, but she's only bothered by his absentmindedness. Casey finally allows gym client , passing trough, to seduce him. Without Casey's support, Darryl and Rickie consider her court case hopeless, so she plans to leave town. Tamara asks her to stay, revealing her memory is returning in flashes. Kyle is shocked she didn't confide in him. VJ's test results are in: no congenital disorder. Sally puts the house in the market. Palmer wants a gym job, but not Casey's.

Nick is worried sick that Tamara's returning memory will cause her to leave him and possibly return to Casey, she can't give a conclusive response. Spencer is in no mood to let Maddie profit from Shasha's departure, yet quickly chooses friendship over loneliness. Unable to plan Pippa's treatment or even the house sale yet, Sally delays telling the kid and enrolls her in school as she covets a normal life.

Jett notices Bianca talking to Sally about the disease VJ was tested for, so the rascals snoop and find out Pippa has mitochondrial disorder and offer her moral support, only to find the kid, who settled in nicely at school thanks to Zac and Spencer, clueless till then. Heath grudgingly accepts to attend a principal's function with Biaca, but is off the hook after arguing it's no suit-requiring event. Dex's Mexican theme house warming party is interrupted when Sasha returns, having found Broken Hill too boring and sweaty. Spencer however is in no mood to consider ...

Bugged by everyone about his unwillingness to attend Bianca's principal's dinner, Heath ultimately suits up and arrives, but by then Zac has already graciously volunteered to accompany her to both's delight. Learning nothing from her own and Leah's counterproductive lies to kids, Sally promises Pippa that the American treatment, which she might actually be unable to enter, 'guarantees' full recovery.

Jealously having observed Zac and Bianca at the dinner, Heath initially tells her nothing but accuses Zac of moving on his bride. Ultimately convinced of Zac's honorable intentions, Heath confronts Bianca, whose attempt to blame his lack of interest in their wedding earns her the grave reproach it looks like she's once more sabotaging her relationship before it reaches the altar. Palmer's first day as waiter in the diner goes badly enough to be the walking disaster area's last, despite abundant help from Marilyn, even to cover up the broken coffee machine. Spencer is ...

Zac and their other friends convince Heath and Bianca to recommit to get wed. Spencer tells Sasha not to leave on his account, they can start over. Rickie's trial starts, but despite Darryl's and Kyle's coaching attempt it looks like Casey and Tamara will make the prosecutor's case. Alf decides not to wait for a buyer for the caravan park and house: he, Harvey, Marilyn and Roo will apply for a mortgage to buy it together.

Jett is delighted he can spend time o the beach with VJ and Nina, until his mate convinces him to confront her, the only logical suspect, about apparent thefts from the Palmer home, which makes her walk off indignantly without answering. The bank refused a mortgage to the residents quartet, yet hey feel obliged to keep Sally's baseless promise to Pippa that the American therapy is arranged, so they desperately seek to attract a buyer.

Jett finds VJ's missing Pokemon card in a discarded book when John commandeers him to help clean out Leah's garage as an odd job. The rascal's triumph over reconciling his playmates is short-lived: Nina dumps him for 'having doubted her so easily'. Casey is depressed after his testimony got Ricki off but Tamara's returning memory didn't revive their love, so he starts drinking sneakily. Maddie stumbles upon his flask and promises silence if he shares the vodka, but gets so drunk Roo finds out. Dexter manages to 'break in' the rude new hospital doctor Peta Bradley, but...

Palmer is pleasantly surprised when Marilyn proposes to help him financially by setting up a business together, providing bus tours for tourists. Even diplomatic Dex cant mediate between lover April and Dr. Peta Bradley, who seems to vindictively enjoy over-burdening the haughty intern needlessly.

Not content with bugging Casey and Maddy everywhere about his 'inappropriate company', Roo manages to send Darryl, who practically scolds kid brother an alcoholic, which only drives the off gym couple closer together. Dex coaches April to handle her abusive internship supervisor with humor and gestures, but when Dr. Peta Bradley refuses to sign a crucial report to the university due to her own refusal to let April get experience, she decides to file a formal complaint.

Despite Darryl and Roo, or because of their bugging, Casey drinks again and Maddy spends a whole night with him on he beach. She stays sober but can't convince him to stop drinking and falls asleep, so fails no notice he c-fainted alcohol-poisoned hours ago. Casey is patched up in hospital, as April's first patient, after Dr. Peta Bradley discovered she's preparing a formal complaint and counter-threats fail, but afterward April's transfer to another hospital is recommended. Alf decides to sell the boat, hence de facto sack Harvey, to pay for Pipa's US hospital.

Spencer is 'disgustingly' happy reunited with clingy Sasha, to Indi's taste, but both gym colleagues are pleasantly surprised when Chris returns. Kyle must hear Tamara admit she can't make out if more memories may still tilt the balance to Casey's side, yet Heath tells him to put her first. Harvey not only resigns himself to the sale of the boat but finds a client: his generous but socially awkward school friend.

Kyle can barely control himself, tormented by Tamara's memory flashes and deliberate taunting by Casey. Darryl finds mediating between his brothers harder then ever and decides to take them to Melbourne on a bachelor night for Heath. Spencer gladly puts up Chris, who says he means to stay mending their parents' marriage was out of his league but candidly keeps contact. Indy is reluctant to resume the relationship with Chris, despite having given up on Romeo. Palmer, Marilyn and Jett start planning bus tours, despite Roo's nagging that requires too much ...

Jett realizes that Marilyn's interest in John goes way beyond business and confronts her, extracting a promise she won't overstep Gina's bounds. Zac offers Bianca to substitute for groom Heath as 'male viewpoint' in the wedding preparations but can't help asking her if she's really suer this time, while the diner girls fear she's falling in love with Zac. Pippa collapses at school. Zac gets her hospitalized, then reassures Jett, who froze, that's normal, yet gives him the day off so John can further nurse the trauma, too much alike Gina's sudden death.

The Braxton brothers arrive in Melbourne for eager Heath's bachelor party, but a haughty MD declares Kyles' reservation 'got lost' and neither can forget his home worries. Darryl convinces Casey there's still a worthwhile chance to get Tamara back and tells Heath to make up his mind about wedding arrangements rather then worry about Zac, who wakes up with a hangover and worse-nagging guilt.

Heath refuses to go trough with the bachelor night, worried about 'rival' Zack, until Darryl calls Rickie and pretends it's all clear, while in fact Zac and the bride consider whether to respect her engagement. Kyle's contacts get the Braxton brothers into a premium nigh-club, where Casey accepts to get back on semi-fraternal terms. Heath can't resist calling Bianca over an over. When Zac happens to pick up her cellphone, hothead Heath assumes the worst and lets a foxy barmaid seduce him.

Kyle and amused Casey ended up in bed together, reconciled and oblivious of their wild night. Despite their hangover, Darryl drags them along to find Heath, whom they find surfing clothed. His admission to have fucked up forces them to end the bachelor weekend and return home. They find Bianca learning to surf as a wedding gift. Despite Spencer's mediation, aqua-phobic spoilsport Sasha grows only more hostile with every attempt Chris makes to include her in the brothers' beach fun.

Exhausted after an endless nursing shift, Dexter just wants to sleep, but Sasha, despite her promise to Spencer to be nice to his doted rascal brother, brutally keeps rudely prodding him to help her 'save Indi' from Chris, who even pulls a romantic trump: a horse-drawn coach. Jett greedily extract a fee for acting as 'test' client' for bus driver Palmer and guide Marilyn's projected tourist tour, then spares no criticism, unamused to see their partnership persist as business may lead to personal intimacy.

Despite Dexter's warning against confrontation, April files a formal complaint against 'heartless' Dr. Peta Bradley for advising against the long-shot; expensive American clinic for Pippa, after which the supervisor convinces April to be acting in patients' and families' long-term interests. Leah wants to sell her half of the diner.

Casey finally gets a clear answer from Tamara that she chose Kyle, even with recovered memory. He moves out, back to the caravan park. Maddy is clearly interested in him and scolds Sasha, who warns her against the 'trouble magnet', the school's cheapest slut, thus also estranging Spencer. Spoiled-rotten Pippa tricks her elders in letting her go to class chaperoned only by Maddy and Jett, whom she tricks into truancy at the beach. Palmer is most understanding, ignoring that the brats search prevented a likely truth moment with Marilyn, who starts to feel the tour plan ...

Heath keeps postponing telling his bride about his bachelor party infidelity with the waitress and decides against at after her hen night. Darryl worries even more about Casey, who is furious to be assumed having stolen Mady's virginity while in fat she's in tears precisely because he refused to one he knew it would be her first time. Casey only accepts returning to the caravan after Roo blindly expels him, but won't accept either's apology.

Reconciled, Casey, as poet, and Kyle, as guitarist, help puzzled Jett win Nina back with a romantic-ridiculous beach performance. At Heath's wedding, flower girl Darcy brings the perfect gift from her grandmother: legal recognition of his paternity. Nobody could bring Heath to come clean to Biaca before the ceremony, but he changes his mind just before the vows, with painful results.

Heath is now reviled by all females as 'incorrigible'. Pushed by April to be crystal clear at least, Bianca, who already moved out, refuses any make-up attempt and says it's over for good. Only his brothers, Zac and Ricky commiserate. Dex gets a chance to spend a week with Sid at the Flying Doctors. April tells him to take it, she'll be comforting Bianca. Chris surprises disappointed Indy, who treats him to a romantic dinner, by refusing intimacy afterward in order not to compromise building a relationship.

Spencer tells Chris to look for his own place if he's staying indefinitely, then stands up against Sasha's constant baseless biased nagging about his rascal brother, pointing out, like Dex, that Indi doesn't need sibling 'protection', even if she accepts the relationship Chris claims to need. Palmer admits being broke to Harvey, who isn't looking froward to cleaning out the Blackland and even less to youth buddy Winston coming to collect the yacht.

Rudely told never to see his bride again, only Darcy may, Heath is depressed and ready to give up Bianca, who won't even listen, supported blindly by his other ex April. Zac however makes her realize that their near-affair and the impression Heath got when he answered her phone mean blame is shared, while Ricke points out the bottom line question is if they still love each-other. To Spencer's delighted relief, Indi and ultimately Sasha come to realize that Chris is really in love and it's time to forget about fidelity to Romeo.

Heath gets his wedding now Bianca has come to her senses, hastily organized on the beach, complete with surf board memorial for Rocco. Mother Braxton rages at the 'stupid' bride and refuses to attend, but Casey brings her back. Unable to handle his 'rejection', Maddy seeks another lover.

After Heath's wedding, the beach party goes on and on. Casey stays sober and promises to get drunk Maddy home safely. She slips away to make out with a member of the Barrett brothers River Boys gang. Casey gets her out just in time and is rewarded with grateful friendship renewal. Winston arrives to collect his yacht, mildly terrorize Harvey and enjoy spending time with equally elated Marilyn. While Casey drives Maddy home and promises to take the blame for missing her curfew, the Barret knaves catch up to 'teach him a lesson', which gets out of hand.

Casey is badly wounded, Maddy barely thanks to him dragging her out of the car, after the River Boy brutes caused them to roll over. Dr. Peta Bradley says only further tests will tell if his injured spinal cord causes lasting damage, maybe even paralysis. Jett checks that John only objects to Marilyn dating Winston on account of their bus tour plans. cardboard king Winston enjoys further pranks on Harvey, but ends up confiding in him to be broke, so the yacht is his new home.

Chris enjoys breaking in his new room at Irene's, cheerfully dancing boxers-only to loud music way too early and slickly brushing off her protest. Zac provides moral support to Darryl, who is sick and tired of waiting for Casey's prognosis and baseless assumptions that the knave must have caused his accident, while he wasn't even drunk. Spencer worries about Maddy.

Cocky Chris is confident to have Irene in his pocket, so he cheerfully ignores every single house rule, even the alcohol ban, so she finds him making love to Indy who surprised him with champagne. Darrel is even more impatient then Casey about the paralyzed knave's recovery prospects. Ever-cold Dr. Bradley just performs a test which show no progress yet, if ever. Zac is puzzled by his sister in law's claim that his smart brother Ethan MacGuire and both their sons would be brainwashed in a cult-type retreat where the boys are about to be initiated, so Zac goes there ...

Chris is barely embarrassed, unlike the girls, when Irene sees him in action with Indi, but they get caught again in the gym, now by Palmer. Zac returns from visiting his widower brother Ethan and his twin kids in the retreat, where they gave all the right answers, but Oscar happily accepts his Phone number for secret contact. Dex finds Casey on the floor after a foppish attempt to disprove the grim diagnosis his spine injury might prevent him form walking ever again. Kyle agrees that Tamara should stand by his half-brother, but can't stand the exes being together.

Unable to accept Casey's plausibly grim prospects given the bleak spinal recovery prognosis, Darryl is hell-bent on revenge. He gets Maddy, who still plays the cry-baby 'victim', to spill enough beans to identify her beach 'lover' Josh Barrett and his ex-con big brother Andy Barrett, the presumed murderous driver. Heath and Bianca, just back early from honeymoon, try to console Casey and calm Darryl, who nearly beats up the brothers. Kyle can't handle Tamara's admission that sitting at Casey's sick bed rekindled deeper feelings then she believed still to have, so Kyle...

Jett is coaching Harvey to court Marilyn and even admits his crush puts the men on a ramming course. Josh Barrett reluctantly lets Maddy approach and convinces her that he's only trying to be a good brother, apparently obliged by a secret. Spencer can't believe how much better Sasha behaves.

Zac holds off Hannah's unproven brainwashing theories, until he finally gets a phone call from Oscar to ask his help, which is suddenly broken off before the knave can specify anything. Jett keeps pushing palmer to 'out-court' Winston, but his objections prove founded as Marilyn tells them both to stop the extravagant gifts. Jett 'borrows' John's credit card to spend on, but gets out of well-deserved punishment to lure Sal and Pippa to their surprise send-off party.

Ethan has confiscated son Oscar's phone for calling Zac, rebuked the 'disloyal' knave and seen to painful punishment. Zac is served a restraining order by the police, but Darryl encourages him to disregard that and offers help to retrieve Oscar anyway. Casey can't cope with the nightmarish prospect of being locked in a wheelchair, so he refuses to let Darryl wheel him to rehab. That only strengthens Darryl's need for revenge on Josh Barrett, who further charms Maddy but nobody will listen to his plea to see his side. Spencer is sick of being praised as the eternal ...

While Zac distracts brother Ethan by pretending he wants to make up and join the commune, the Braxtons brothers sneak in to extract grateful Oscar and reluctant twin sister Evelyn 'Evie', even if that requires knocking down senior commune member Murray Granger. Josh enjoys a 'non-'date with Maddy, until he's arrested by the police, whom Alf alerted. Chris pulls all the stops to bond with Irene, who rather invites Indi then be 'spoiled' and admired by him seemingly non-stop.

Oscar is grateful, unlike his brainwashed sister who keeps sneering 'criminal' uncle Zac belongs back in jail, for their rescue from the commune, but needs medical help, so Zac begs reluctant Leah to bring him to hospital. Chris starts to suspect Spencer stopped taking his medication, given his snapping at Sasha and excessive athletic exercise, but has no reason to contest his brother's formal denial. Chris can barely believe Irene didn't cave for his charms, yet agrees to enjoy their victory in Indi's arms. Darryl is crushed by Casey consistent refusal to give rehab ...

Jet pushes John to keep up courting Marilyn with Winston, who pulls all the stops for his 'last chance dinner', but she tells both to have no real romantic interest, so Winston decides to leave town. Dex and April stop Rickie's bully attempt to force Casey to rehab, so she bugs Tamara to take over, which works after Dex simply pointed out his own, worse yet successful experience to Casey. Kyle can't stand Tamare being with his brother again, so he wants her out of the restaurant too. Dr. Peta Bradley however concludes the couple can't continue collaborating and orders...

Heath firmly refuses to let Bianca make him feel guilty for being himself rather then a more accommodating husband.

Heath tells Bianca about the Braxtons brothers and still 'ill' Zac's operation save-Oscar. Her initial indignation soon melts, to mutate in pride and a mutual promise to respect each-other. Now Casey works his tail off in rehab under Dex's gentle supervision in the gym, his muscular control starts returning. Sharing in his joy makes Dex regret his noble gesture to resign so April mustn't, but after her initial furious rejection she takes to heart Dr. Peta Bradley's advice that a relationship isn't on the cards if she really wants to become a surgeon.

Heathb is not amused when Darrul, just back, asks only after 'golden boy' Casey, yet tries to help his brother in the gym but overdoes that.

Palmer is delighted that the bus tour is finally ...

Spencer is released from hospital now his medication is re-calibrated, but enjoys frolicking and reckons Sasha will leave him if he turns dull again, so he secretly dumps pills.

Dr. Nate Cooper discharges Spencer, whose bruises heal well, but warns, like Sasha, that medicating his bipolar disorder is urgently necessary. Chris offers to accompany Indi and show her the world, but she declines any company. April is startled when her father offers to arrange to continue her medical training in Paris, but that doesn't square with wedding Dex. Roo's hostility peeks when the authorities abandon the search for Harvey.

Dex, still preparing his Star wars dream wedding but ignoring the Paris plan, works out that Indi's leaving actually means the end for any romantic prospects on utterly innocent Chris's part and makes her spells that out. Palmer slowly smells a rat when Jett drowns his love ache in homework. Indieed, Nina has sneaked in, confessing only too late that she ran away from private boarding school, so Jett puts her up for the night.

Heath decides to help Bianca getting the River Boys in line bu curbing beach vandalism and dragging a truant to class, only to find the knave actually had a free period.

Chris's gloom is solved when Spencer moves in, relived himself since Dex convinced Sasha to forget silly jealousy and games and make up. Spencer discovers the runaways in the Walker farm shed and convinces Jett, who wanted to abandon the ill-planned fugue anyway, and stubborn Nina to return to John, who expresses deep disappointment and despair. Casey and Tamara realize that somehow the magic is gone and agree to separate, but keep it silent when Dex and April ask them as best man and bridesmaid as a model couple in a wedding among true lover pairs. Casey goes visit ...

Heath seems to grow into a head of the Braxton family role. Dex's hilarious wedding ideas are utterly out-staged when the planning committee, especially just-arrived doctor Sid Walker, hears that April's father already arranged to have her accepted at the Sorbonne med school. School thug Matt Page refuses to be grade-bribed by Montgomery into even more dangerous methods to discredit Bianca.

Dex talks April out of reconsidering their planned move to Paris, whatever that means for Sasha, who won't move in with Sid. Father won't let her live alone once Indy leaves and possibly sells the gym. Casey, who just revived dispensation to take his exams, and Tamara decide not to tell the happy couple about their breakup. Bianca is shocked by thee escalating school vandalism, but refuses to just blame Matt, especially as Leah suspects Montgomery.

Dex's countless concessions and indulgent efforts from best man Casey and others to finish the hasty wedding preparations somehow work out, however shoddy. Chris and Spencer even find an alternative home with them at Irene's for Sasha, who doesn't want to move in with Sid at Broken Hill, but paternal authority seems to win out beyond the legal age to need consent. Heath convinces Indi that he's the best choice as new manager if she sells the gym, although Casey has all formal qualifications; When Dex is already at the altar, April gets a mysterious anxiety attack.

Dex agonizes at the altar and Casey helps drag time until April comes to her senses and they get wed. Leaving, Indi gets Heath and Casey to agree to manage the gym jointly, given the brothers' complementary talents. Spencer and Sasha dread a long distance relationship, but Sid agrees to both living with Irene after all. That frees the Walker farm, which seems perfect to the twins as home for them, Zac and Hannah, who are now discretely on kissing terms.

Now Andi is back and demands his return 'home' while airhead Maddy keeps inviting him to join them, as well as the twins, Josh, who feels unwanted at school as River Boy, even by Oscar, can't cope and ditches class, despite his excellent study performance. When they visit Darryl in jail, Kyle tells him that Nate, who slept at their place when nursing then Barret brothers, constitutes grave temptation for 'jail widow' Ricky, who faints back home. Despite shyness, Zac and Hannah agree to rent the farm for the elated twins' sake, keeping their budding affair secret and ...

Repentent runaway Jett gets Alf to help arrange a romantic dinner for John and Marilyn. Kyle gets fainted Rickie to Nate for a checkup.

Casey isn't amused that Heath dumps all the paperwork on him, yet supports his co-manager's attempt to take responsibility. Told by Irene he must get a job to pay rent, Chris decides to steal Spencer's gym job, so his brother can concentrate on school work, but Irene insists on a diner job instead.

Based on Leah's testimony, Bianca files an official complaint against pupils-abusive ...

Heath presence at school, illegal gives his criminal record, gives Mintgimery an excuse to counter Bianca's complaint against her and have him arrested. Despite a bad start, lacking motivation and pestering from Spencer, Chris does well on his first diner shift as soon as his natural charm wins over the clients. The Braxton boys are kept in suspense when Rickie will decide whether to keep Darryl's baby and what she'll tell him.

Heath is charged with beating up Montgomery after a diner row, when Chris actually stopped him from reacting to her slapping him publicly. It looks like that will also discredit Bianca's complaint, but Tamara provides testimony that he was surfing on the beach. That alibi clears Heath and allows Montgomery's dismissal. Oscar is deeply hurt that disloyal Evie response to Mangrove River ruffian Matt's flirtation. Zac must pull the cocky boys apart in class. Kyle promises, to help set up an initiative to bring River and Bay kids together in extra-curricular fun, by ...

Andy's efforts to make Josh forget about Maddy fail, they even make up. Andy buys drugs from Matt to slip into a drink he offers her, but the poison proves too strong. Unable to talk Evelyn out of attending the beach party with Matt, Oscar bitterly resigns when Zac orders him to respect her choice, but the twins now openly bicker non-stop. Nate waves dating help.

Nate can diagnose Maddy recovered without lasting damage, but she bitterly blames and dumps poor Josh for not telling as soon as he knew Andy spiked her drink. Therefore cast off by desperate Josh, Andi convinces her he's the only guilty party, so she makes up. Jett can't understand why John still doesn't move 'properly' on Marilyn. Roo admits it's time to give up hoping for Harvey's safe return and holds a memorial at the pier.
