Duncan's been acting weird around Jade after a comment made by Kirsty about him being "safe". Duncan had told Jade they need Nick and Kirsty back so they can start having fun again. Jade got insulted and walked off, leaving Duncan to confront Kirsty and ask why she doesn't want to go on single dates with Nick. Jade has gone back to ballet after being away from it for a year. Luckily Melissa (a girl from school) is there so she has someone she knows to practice with. Tonya the bitchy ballerina is giving Jade a hard time.

Gypsy meets Patrick who's attending TAFE and goes on a date with him; when they came back, she was beaming. She told Sally it was a lovely night, kisses and all. Jade's taken a liking to new boy David. Kirsty and Nick also like him but Duncan doesn't and Jade and Duncan's relationship is strained because of his jealousy. David's a nice boy, so why did he react strangely when he found out Jade and Duncan were trapped during the mudslide? Fisher's not sure he's made the right decision about the common room, but he's letting it remain intact. Brodie's relieved as she was convinced he'd shut it down. It might have something to do with Fisher overhearing Brodie telling the kids to lay off Dani. The whole school's shocked and not sure how to approach the Dani subject. Many of the kids at school think she led Kane on. Nobody knows what to say. Will is even more confused after she blamed herself. He has no idea what's going on. Dani's not sure if Kane realized she was resisting him. She feels it's her fault because she was attracted to Kane. Dani has also decided not to go through with the court case.

Leah thinks the thrill has gone out of their relationship, although something else is on her mind. He's been taking telephone calls on the sly and sneaking around. Alf mentions a few weird things and Leah's convinced it's bad news. Leah has even seen Vinnie wandering around with another woman. Could it be he's having an affair?

Sally is growing more concerned after finding his office in a mess and a brochure on retirement villages on his desk. So Sally tells Alf and he confronts Fisher. He says there's no point running away from problems. Fisher gets mad at Sally for poking her nose in his business. He's so distant he snaps at Brodie, telling her there was no way she'll make a good lawyer. This is unlike Fisher, who's always supporting his students. Things are strained between Duncan and Jade. He walks to school with her but it is obvious Jade wishes he wasn't there. Alf says Duncan's been more of a troublemaker since the break-up. Nick's been trying to get Jade and Duncan together.

Sinatra: Featuring Don Costa & His Orchestra is truly a one man show. Sinatra belts out For Once In My Lifeand it is perfection. Being the last of his five specials, his wit and banter is as engaging as ever. He narrates us through his movie clips with the timing of a stand-up comedian. The up tempo closing of the show makes it complete with My Kind Of Town.

Kit is rushed to hospital in apparent birth-trouble, in fact probably just severe migraine, which Kim practically blames on Rachel. Alf helps recover the car.
S1 • E4352
Sam's problems to find new lodgings prove a blessing in disguise: she feels so welcome staying 'meanwhile' with the Holdens that she cheerfully accepts what Jack didn't dare ask again yet: she'll move in with young son Rory, who now gets two good father-figures at hand. Ethan makes sure Peter learns about his 'fling' with Amanda, so her engagement-happiness is shattered already, then suggests her fiancé should be able to handle inevitable flirting and drugs her so they'll wake up 'drunk', naked in his bed...

Amanda considers telling Peter, rather then have a lie hanging over their heads, but starts jumping trough Ethan's hoops; learning the stolen morphine is just a start, she reconsiders. Back home, a caller promises Rick helpful information about Rocco's murder- it's renegade gang member Mick, who passes by to say it was Dave Carson on Johnny's orders, but is too scared to testify- he offers a statement for a ticket to Perth and $3,000 cash, but at the meeting place...
S1 • E4355
Alf tries to reassure Rick jail-time is doable, but a jury would be crazy to convict an innocent kid. At the kid's trial, Jonathan 'Johnny' Cooper's lies manage to provoke Rick's side to 'misbehavior in court'. Kit has the good sense to ask Kim to make up with Rachel, starting with a dinner date. Mathilda is dumb enough to sniffle when forced to quote Rick's 'I'll kill him'. As a last resort, defense counsel Morag makes Rick take the stand, but the prosecutor gets the better of him, albeit 'stricken from the record', at best grounds for an appeal. The jury needs little time to convict the innocent hot-head teenager.
S1 • E4356
Condemned for Rocco's murder, probably innocently, Rick arrives in jail, ominously 'welcomed' by Johnny and some burly mates who insist first of all not to bother their illicit drug dealing.

S1 • E4357
Already scared Rick gets a nightly visit for a taste of Johnny's fists to remind him to keep his mouth shut. A jailer promises Rick a transfer if he helps uncover the scumbag's drug-dealing; seeing nobody dares sit next to him and trustees serve him maggots, he's ready to accept, but Johnny manages to have weed planted and found in his cell- by that corrupt guard! As if Martha's rash legal infanticide weren't troubling Jack enough, Alf calls him out of bed: she's missing all night. Jack finds her passed out, drags the drunk home, consoles the ingrate and is kissed by surprise just when Sam walks in. Martha's killer-conscience gives her baby-nightmares.
S1 • E4358
Blackmailer Ethan has Amanda so terrified she can barely bother about her wedding rings.

Despite Angelo's bitter comment she only digs into the 'liquor theft' out of personal spite, Charlie maintains formal charges against Brax. She calls his fancy city lawyer typical for organized crime, yet drops all charges once warned only a counter-charge against her wold stick, as confirmed when the whole liquor story only shows Darryl's generosity.

At Irene's, April bickers with Gipsy over domestic details while Lily claims her prospected step-father hates her.
S1 • E5383
After the funeral anti-climax, the Braxton gang brothers wonder who started the fire in the Pirovic barn, which also allowed the police to find drug stocks there and make arrests.

Sid appreciates Roo giving Sasha a second chance at the diner, only to have the minx make him turn up at Roo's dinner with Harvey, believing it booked for him. Casey can't appreciate approval from Heath, who finally realizes 'sissy' kid brother is the arsonist.
S1 • E5389
Romeo is getting paranoid about Harvey's self-righteous business decisions, so he can't enjoy an imposed day off, but is greatly relieved when he hears about a genuine booking.

S1 • E5393
Casey regrets having gone on the run with Heath in no time, so he's rather relieved when Darryl finds them and burst in to drag them back home. Junior River boy Stu Henderson, whom Darryl smacked must ungratefully for the crucial tip, lets Sasha, who blatantly ignores all Dex's good advice about a good start at school, drag him along in truancy on the beach.
S1 • E5394
Stu Henderson volunteers to give Sascha a lift to school, but obliges when during his shoulder graft check-up Sid strongly suggests to leave his now deadly-disappointed daughter alone. Just when ever-courteous Romeo feels he tried everything in vain to make Harvey pull his weight, he finds a firm tone is all it takes. Her truancy drives blatantly ignored chaperon Dex desperate.

Liam firmly scolds Biaca's hypocrisy when she dares berate him making out of the beach with doubly unfaithful Gipsy, while not even admitting her 'thing' with Heath.
S1 • E5398
Still bugged by dumping-ignoring Ruby, who even flirts with River boy Sam, Casey loses his self-control and reacts to heath and his mates' cocky talk by surfing in dangerous rocky waters during a storm.

Miles nears the end of his patience with moody Leah's unreasonable, hostile, distant attitude, even in bed, after a row over a cod he ordered before her miscarriage.
S1 • E5399
Dex's patience with noisy Sasha runs out, while April's plan to apply for medicine has turned her into a worse no-fun study fanatic then when she was with Xavier, refusing to attend a party with them. Stu and Sasha can't enough of each-other, so she promises him an 'initimate' photograph of herself. Sid tries to be the cool father-friend, but remains flippantly ignored. Elijah tries to reason with Lea, who waves Sid's advice not to decide about sterilization during mourning and won't even consult Miles, claiming she can't bear risking another miscarriage.

Dex naively volunteers to chaperone Sasha so she can join Stu at the senior class's beach party.

At Palmer's birthday party, Harvey ignores 'rival' Sid's warning Roo doesn't belong to anyone.
S1 • E5401
After the beach party went completely out of hand, Dex expects Sasha to get life grounding, but Sid barely slaps her wrist and Stu remains 'welcome'. Arsenist Casey must appear in court. After Darryl's lawyer brilliantly demolishes Charlie's credibility, the River Boys are optimistic, but Magistrate Hanson still sentence the knave to a month of juvenile detention. Miles accepts Leah refuses to have more children, yet she remains aloof.
S1 • E5402
The Braxtons and friends are worried sick now 'softie' Casey has been sentenced to 30 days in juvenile detention. Darryl can barely control his disgust when Charlie dares berate him because his lawyer Hayley O'Connor exposed her utterly unprofessional misconduct. Relauctantly, Darryl rewards her unpaid services with a dinner and is ultimately seduced to kiss her. To avoid further trouble and appease Bianca, Heath apologizes for the Rier Boys's party noise to Palmer.
S1 • E5403
Darryl is not exactly amused that Charlie dared blame him for the truth coming out at Casey's trial, yet would take her back, only to be dumped when she find the lawyer's earring although she broke up repeatedly without cause.

S1 • E5404
Heath refuses to supply April the prescription drugs she wants to abuse for 'study stamina' like hospital apprentice Phil Jamison admitted having done, so she pretends to take a break with Dex, only to steal one of Sid's prescription pads.

S1 • E5405
Xavier makes clear Sasha outwore all kids' patience by refusing to consider helping her with phone credit to call Stu, who charms Sid into allowing a drive and smacks her, assuming she didn't care to answer his calls. After Harvey's latest convenient excuse not to help Romeo, Roo tells him she's finding it hard to trust him, which he takes as time to break up, only to be kissed anyhow. Seeing Sid frantically looks for his prescription pad, April hides it to be 'accidentally found' by Dex.
S1 • E5406
Stu is startled that Sasha avoids him all day after one innocent well-deserved smack, but is back in favor after buying her a necklace. Darryl firmly waves as absurd Charlie's jealous attitude when 'caught' with Hayley O'Connor. Sid and Dex senses her even more erratic behavior, but are distracted by the search for the missing prescription pad. Prime suspect Sasha is off the hook and plays the victim after April, who heard about it, smuggles it back in, to avoid being caught, but Sid already put the wheels in motion and Bianca is very suspicious.
S1 • E5407
Stu firmly convinces Sid he isn't the prescription thief, in fact he has real ones for ADHD, yet fails to appease his suspicions about Sasha. Darryl is suspicious of early-released Benji Perin, hence refuses to offer him and his River boy mate a more lucrative job then Casey's pizza delivery round. He even throws them out of his restaurant, refusing to serve them for suspiciously abundant cash, after hearing the police is looking for the pair of men who robbed Simon Peet's gas-station, clues including a tattoo that matches theirs. Dex, who expected to be proclaimed school dux, graciously hands April his valedictorian speech, only to see her collapse during the delivery. Ruby has learned the truth and taken the stolen prescriptions to dispose of for April.
S1 • E5408
Sid quickly works out that April who collapsed during her ill-gotten valedictorian speech, used the stolen prescription, so he can avert a health disaster and ends up, as Dex hoped, withdrawing his official complaint to spare her a conviction that would prevent any medical aspirations. Heath sweetly rings flowers and later is rewarded by Biaca with a feeble apology and a passionate kiss. Drama queen Sasha shamelessly plays the poor 'second class kid' but can't fool Roo into renting her a caravan.
S1 • E5409
After gathering the courage to address Dennis Harling, Romeo is assured the cruises contract unless his development project partner impose otherwise. Harvey however proposes trough Roo to buy the boat from Alf, who is inclined to accept after a fire hazard near-incident aboard, which is apparently Romeo's honest mistake. Luckily Liam remembers he saw Harvey the night before, handling a fuel can, and testifies. After an incident about his books, Miles moves out. Hearing Leah bought a book case to make up, he accepts to stay. VJ mistrusts his promise they have finished fighting, and is proven right within the hour.
S1 • E5410
In key witness Liam's absence, Romeo demands Alf takes his word to refuse selling the boat to Harvey, but to his shock obtains the contrary. Miles packs to move to the caravan park indefinitely, but reconsiders when Leah begs him so, being furiously ignored by VJ for chasing his father figure. Victim Simon Peet dates Charlie charmingly, only to be dumped because she can't forget Brax, whom DNA evidence from the robbery scene indicates as presumed getaway driver.
S1 • E5411
The DNA evidence on the robbery scene convinces Darryl he must have been set up by Jake, who probably cut a deal with suspiciously early-released Benji.

S1 • E5412
Dex's angelic patience with April last while she goes trough a list of apologies, but ends when she completely forgets him and consults uninformed Xavier about Dex's 'mood', only to be told it might stem from sexual frustration. Stu demonstrates his drawing to Sasha with a surfing scene. She has motive from it tattooed on her thigh. Already stressed by his exams, Stu is appalled and smacks her impulsively. Indecisive Charlie's inconsistent messing up on both sides catches up when inspector Joyner takes her off the robbery case. Darryl seems fatally framed, until all evidence in the case is stile from a police car. That's set up by Charlie, who tipped him off implicitly.
S1 • E5413
Stu and Sasha quickly make up over her tattoo and his latest smack, but the noise sufficed for Sid to ask him to leave them and promise her a quality time dinner, only to be called away on medical emergencies as usual. After a pointless new search of Darryl's home, he admits what happens to Heath, he convinces his brother not to let Charlie stew alone with Bianca.

Driving home, they badly hit a motor-biker, alas none other the Liam.
S1 • E5414
Romeo is shattered that sole sabotage witness Liam is in coma and far from impressed by Indy's all but supportive, even insulting attitude. Luckily Sid convinced Alph to put he boat deal on hold, even if Harvey threatens to buy a mate's instead and barks at Romeo to stop 'manipulating'.

VJ ends up running away, albeit by bus, from the maternal root of all his problems. Sid nor Roo knows how to handle his admission still to love her.

Miles insists to come along searching with Leah, working on the theory VJ may secretly go meet Lily all the way in Queensland.

On the long way to Queensland, hoping to find VJ, Miles finally looses his patience with utterly selfish, unfair Leah's total lack of consideration for his feelings. However the news VJ turned up at her mother's cuts truth time short again. Darryl would juts enjoy a day away with Charlie frolicking on the beach, but she just wines on. After notice they are officially in the clear, as the other stolen evidence, against a drug dealer, was found in his home, Charlie doesn't thanks Darryl for fixing everything but breaks up, claiming his pragmatism would only continue to stretch her supposedly still idealistic quest for justice.

Xavier sets his mind on a gap-year, traveling Europe, and John is prepared to help finance it by splitting the proceeds of selling off their vintage sports-car. Darryl warns Heath against setting up another River Boys drug deal, to no avail, and promises Charlie he's trough with them, but she keeps wining aloof and stands by her police resignation.

S1 • E5419
Stu made a joyride with Xavier's sports-car to let off steam, leaving him fear grand theft.

Romeo enjoys lots of new surf lesson clients, although Indy gets jealously suspicious. Dex forgives and makes up with April, who promises to go all the way now.

When Sid releases them, Sasha drags her heels, won't join Stu in the water and instead of coming along to the surf club walks back with mink, only to be found fainted on a bench by Xavier. Romeo initially refuses Mink a loan he and Indy can ill afford, but ends up promising the $5,000 she needs to relaunch her surfing career discretely end of the week.

Xavier wonders shy she lets Sid wrongly assume it was all Stu's idea and forbid the couple any contact ever again, without any protest from her. John is appalled that his business contacts avoid him due to Harvey's false corruption allegations, even the council postpones voting his proposition.
S1 • E5424

Brax slips into smug criminal mode at being questioned over Dean's murder but the smugness fades when he's presented with the fact his fingerprints were on the murder weapon. Ricky plays the role of the deluded girlfriend, slapping Ash and blaming him for everything, and Ash offers to take the fall. Oscar grows increasingly frustrated as Maddy refuses to face up to how much trouble she's in, despite doing a runner from a restaurant and having to sell her violin so they don't sleep rough. Phoebe stupidly refuses to do anything about Neive, despite her pictures being plastered all over the papers and Chris committing grand theft in an attempt to keep it quiet.
S1 • E6127
Darryl is finally released on bail, but Rickie overhears him discussing with Ash, whose offer to confess falsely is rejected as pointless, who really murdered Dean, considering the mine town barman. Jett openly defies Palmer's instructions to avoid the 'dangerous' Braxtons, but John comes up with an idea to stop being their neighbors at all. Nate makes Andi realize that caring for Hannah, in rehab or even a permanent wheelchair, is too hard for one man. After she chases Andi in frustration, he returns and makes her accept the family must be told.
S1 • E6128
Kyle got wind of Darryl's troubles and dismisses himself from hospital, against Nate's advice. Despite a promise to limit his efforts to paperwork, he wants to join Darryl and Ash on a mission to prove that Dean's killer is crippled backwater barman Steve Kennedy, but Daryyl's 72 report bail parole terms require postponing anyhow. Jett's unwillingness to leave the only home he ever felt safe and happy in wins Marilyn's support, but after making Darryl admit the Braxtons "can't guarantee anything" John still decides the Palmers must move to safety, the compromise being no house sale but temporarily moving in at Alf's. Andy and Denny finally get Hannah to admit her grim prospects to Evie, who ultimately tells Josh.
S1 • E6129
Nate tells Zac and VJ that Leah is ready for a crucial test, but after she's awaken from coma and artificial breathing removed, the prospects are virtually hopeless. To Chris's horror, Palmer ordered replacements for the stolen newspapers, so the whole circus starts all over, with even less help from Spencer. Josh does a great job distracting Evie while their wait for Hannah's medical verdict.
S1 • E6130
VJ and Zach gets news about Leah's condition.
S1 • E6131
Brax is planning to skip bail in order to force a confession out of Sam, but is bugged by Kat actually doing her job and keeping an eye on the criminal element, despite Emerson being prepared to give them free rein as usual. In the end, Ricky arranges a distraction to help Brax leave. Maddy and Oscar return to town, where Maddy tells her family she's ready to begin chemo. Oscar finds himself sidelined as Andy continues to make all the decisions in Hannah's life, pressuring Nate into letting her go home and then moving himself in as her carer, to the anger of Denny who still resents the way everyone has just forgotten his murderous actions the previous year. Kat becomes the latest person to think Nate wasn't to blame for the car accident he caused.
S1 • E6132
Kyle nearly finds distraction for the anguish over Darryl and Ash's desperate mission and his own convalescence in guitar playing for and singing with Phoebe. Worried by his hurtful throat, he consults Nate, who orders tests for a presumably tube-caused injury which may be treated but can recur, even after surgery. Handsome young newcomer Ryan Kelly, seemingly a passing-by tourist, declares his delight in 'finding' Phoebe, but actually lurks around the Braxton brother's home. Andy's performance as Hannah's rock and home nurse and Oscar's lecture make Denny reconsider her opposition to Andy moving in, but for now she just evades the problem by visiting city-folk.
S1 • E6133
Ash tries to prevent impatient Darryl manhandling Sam Kennedy, but the barman first tries to escape, then dismisses any responsibility for the wrong man being charged with Dean's murder and calls the local police, so the boys must hastily return frustrated. Zac must prepare for the new school year as interim principal. VJ violently rejects any attempt to suggest him returning to school, as Matt intends to try again for a university spot, or even to display a picture of Leah 'as if she were dead'. Palmer notices young Ryan Kelly spying on the Braxton home and tells Phoebe, but she flippantly dismisses him as somewhat paranoid.
S1 • E6134
Chris decides it's time to 'give back to the community', so he demands a place in 'old' John's rescue team, but palmer puts him trough endless hazing and chores before mentioning a form suffices to apply for the training program. To Zac's delighted relief, VJ makes up and takes Jett's advice to return to school after all. Despite Marilyn and especially Jett's opposition, John is determined to sell their home and move to a safer one, without the trouble-magnet Braxton neighbors. Josh decides to cheer up Evie, even if he must break the rules by committing vandalism.
S1 • E6135
Brax makes it back for his sign in but is at the end of his tether with his hopeless plan to force a confession out of Sam having failed. Kat gets evidence that Brax broke his bail conditions so Kyle tries to stop her reporting him with a meaningless guilt trip about a case in her past where she let an innocent man be killed. Josh has decided to graffiti on a public building to impress Evelyn, so ends up with a fine and John and Chris getting set to clean it up. Unfortunately, sulking brat Jett tips off the self-centred pair and soon all three of them are whining about art and staging a narcissistic protest. And Evelyn still doesn't apologise to Maddy despite knowing about her cancer. Maddy's loved ones support her as she goes to chemotherapy but Oscar is conspicuous by his absence.
S1 • E6136
Oscar turns up late to the hospital and Maddy is soon leaning on him again to the exclusion of all others. Alf suspects he is taking on too much and says they can look after her. Self-absorbed couple Josh and Evelyn have managed to drag a group of louts in to support their indulgent protest and soon even deluded child woman Marilyn is spouting nonsense about their democratic right to deface public buildings in the name of themselves. Brax continues to wallow in self-pity despite Kyle acting as though Kat believing them means everything is solved. Kat does cover up Brax's latest crime but Ricky is tired of his wallowing and Ash tries to get him to pull himself together.
S1 • E6137
Josh throws in the towel graciously when Alf declares the protest to save his graffiti for Evie against surf-club rules. Chris proceeds to cleaning it up and Palmer thinks they won, but Marilyn wines he forgot all about romance. Darryl throws his lawyer Craig Stanley out for proposing he should either plead guilty for a lenient sentence or go for reasonable doubt by stressing Ash makes at least as good a suspect. Spencer is not amused to find pixie Matt in his class and duly calls him a hopeless loser likely to lose Sasha to a real student soon, so the idiot picks a locker-room fight and compromises her send-off picnic by detention for refusing to explain to Zac.
S1 • E6138
After agonizing consideration and talking to Ash, Darryl calls lawyer Craig back to accept a guilty plea deal. Nate worries when Hannah cancel her first physio-therapy session, finds at home that she's just scaring away and convince Andy that he must stop doing everything for her so she can hide from life. During detention, Zac convicnes matt to talk things trough before Sasha leaves for university.
S1 • E6139
Hearing from Nate that Hanah needs encouragement to stop hiding and leaning on Andy, Zac visit, sends Andy dealing some of his own stuff and gets her out of bed into a wheelchair, admitting she must live again and therefore start rehab. VJ is furious that Zac thus missed their lunch date at Angelo's and scolds him unreliable. Kinky fan-stalker Ryan Kelly reserves an exclusive dinner at Angelo's, thus learns Kyle will be out of town that evening and gathers the courage to invite himself at the Braxton home to see her.
S1 • E6140
Marilyn is continuing to be childish towards John but soon changes her tune when he rescues Phoebe from creepy stalker Ryan. However, the experience leaves John more convinced than ever that they should move, and the prospect of losing his bolt hole sees VJ pack his bags. Kat reads Ryan the riot act and Phoebe takes out a restraining order but Ryan continues to watch her. Maddy takes another turn for the worse when her chemotherapy leaves her with a fever. After trying to ask Alf how she is, Oscar admits his fears that it's only the cancer that is causing Maddy to want him but the sweet couple end up sharing a kiss.
S1 • E6141
Brax's concern over pleading guilty causes him to act like a bear with a sore head and yell at Phoebe. Ricky and Ash both ponder whether he's doing the right thing and when Brax gets the call he learns he'll still serve eight years. Phoebe tries to hide what happened with Ryan but Kat lets slip. Kyle attacks Ryan and needs Phoebe and Ash to point out that one brother getting himself jailed out of stupidity is enough. Maddy is on cloud nine at the idea of dating Oscar but he is less than certain, although he eventually seems to accept her sincerity. Zac learns VJ is gone and eventually learns he's at Leah's hospital. He agrees to let Irene go and pick him up.
S1 • E6142
Darryl refuses to further discuss his decision to accept the eight years-spelling guilty plea deal and signs over controlling shares in the restaurant and gym to Kyle viz. Andy. Josh is surprised that Plamer asks his advice on an artistic surprise for Marilyn, as Evie points out after insisting on the destruction of Josh's mural, but gives his honest, crushing opinion and advices seeking John's own strength, verbal, yet composing a poem proves no easier. Impossible patient Hannah wines to Nate there's no progress yet and insists that 'in-living orderly' Andy, who carefully kept some distance, must become her lover again.
S1 • E6143
As even her ex Nate can't mediate in complications of the heart, Andi is spooked by Hannah jumping his bones and takes some time off, to which she responds by 'releasing him', while even Josh counts on their relationship holding, fearing Evie might blame both Barrett brothers. Spencer is scarily hostile, even rude, to Chris, barely standing his presence, probably not just because of Maddy. John insists on celebrating an asking price bid on the house, waving Jett who remains dead against moving as of 'of will work out great'.
S1 • E6144
Spencer is feeling useless but Roo encourages him to visit Maddy, who is grateful to just have a friend hang out with her. The incident inspires Spencer to try and organise a fundraiser for teenagers with cancer. Irene returns from the city without VJ, having apparently forgotten what she went there to do, and Zac forgets he's got a school to run and goes after him. Marilyn makes a big speech about happy memories which causes John to forget all the good reasons for wanting to get away from the Braxtons and rip the For Sale sign down. Sasha returns from uni but only gets the cold shoulder from Matt.
S1 • E6145
The Braxton clan gloomily prepares for Darryl's day in court, where his guilty plea deal will mean an eight year jail sentence, leaving Kyle and the others in charge. Yet when the judge asks for his plea, it's "not guilty". Nate tells Andy he must deal himself with the emotional quagmire caused by fickle Hannah's conflicting signals. Matt males clear to Sasha that he can't handle her bursting in and out of his life whenever she feels like it.
S1 • E6146
Darryl's surprising 'not guilty' plea-change startles his camp, leaving lawyer only one hope: establishing reasonable doubt by the next day's court session. Ash provides a lead by specifying that presumed murdered Sam Kennedy was hospitalized and mutilated by Dean. Nate is served divorce papers, but hesitates to formally close the Sophie chapter. Spencer's team, including Maddy's nemesis Evelyn, starts planning a musical cancer fund-raiser. The Braxton clan holds a beach party in case Darryl is jailed for years.
S1 • E6147
Barrister Craig Stanley does a great job showing that Sam Kennedy's crippling injuries, disabling him from his pilot dream career to remain stuck in his backwater home bar, constitute a better motive to kill Dean then Darryl or Ash, who came to find Billie. Spencer wags school for once, obsessed with the cancer benefit 'colour run', which he somehow feels the town owes his ex Maddy, rudely waving Chris's advice to dim. Josh and Evie practically drown in chores he assigns them, but enjoy collaborating anyhow. The trial turns around when Sam points out that the duo got hold of the robbery loot in cash, which Ash casually stashed in the restaurant.
S1 • E6148
Maddy is happy and relaxed in her new relationship with Oscar, but frustratingly he seems to be having difficulty seeing the girl of his dreams instead of a girl with cancer. Alf manages to convince him to take her on a date, but when she gets a nose bleed he goes back to mollycoddling her. The MacGuires are almost absurdly helpless without Andy, showing how dependent Hannah has become on him, and Denny and Nate suggest she go back to hospital before Andy turns up wanting to talk to her. Ricky is blaming Ash for Brax's stupidity in making himself look like a murderer, and when the police try and blame him too Brax declares that he killed Dean alone. But it only takes a few seconds in a prison cell to reduce him to a blubbering heap.
S1 • E6149
Zac and VJ return from their visit to Leah but VJ continues to sulk, being rude to Marilyn and lashing out at Sasha and Matt, before breaking down in front of Zac. Andy continues to camp out by Hannah's door until he convinces her he's not with her out of pity, and is rewarded when she regains feeling in her leg. Oscar is excessively worried about Maddy wanting to live in the moment, but his advice convinces her to plan for the future and she decides to return to school. With their housemates still acting like two 18-year-olds spending the night together would mean the end of Western civilisation, Matt and Sasha resort to taking the Diner keys to spend the night there.
S1 • E6150
Even Jett starts losing his patience with comatose mother-obsessed buddy VJ, he keeps lashing out at everyone only to apologize shortly after. So Zac insists on some therapy, if a counselor isn't accepted at least beach jogging with him and boxing, sparring with Jett. Deluded fan Ryan Kelly, who installed a secret video-camera in Phoebe's room, now intrudes to pose a white rose of her bed, hides in the closet and abducts her later. Matt and Sasha overslept in the diner, so she can't turn in a paper worth 15% of her term grade timely, but Matt convinces Irene to let them borrow her car, waving Chris's indignant protest.
S1 • E6151
Ash is practically smothering Ricky with his attempts to look after her but she is more receptive to a visit from Denny.Kyle returns and realises Phoebe is missing:She is being held captive by unstable Ryan, still convinced he's "saving" her.Ash gets Denny to take Ricky away to stop her finding out. Maddy has another chemo session and, when she doesn't seem to want him around afterwards, Oscar gets insecure and thinks she's gone off him:In fact, she's planning to surprise him with the fact she's returning to school.
S1 • E6152
Kat demonstrates police efficiency by picking up on the fact Ryan knew Kyle was out of town: She detects the camera in Phoebe's bedroom and has the signal traced. Deranged Ryan tries to get Phoebe to sing for him but instead she manages to overpower him just as the rescue party turns up. Nate arranges a date with Kat to get over his divorce. Oscar, having spent a year wanting Maddy to go out with him, is now spending all his time hoping she'll dump him, apparently because he views Andy and Hannah flaunting themselves in front of him normal couple behaviour, only for Maddy to spoil his plans by still wanting to go out with him and merely planning to surprise him by being back in school uniform.
S1 • E6153
Maddy's first day at school is a far from resounding success: She has a lot of catching up from missing months of work and has to go home after being sick. Oscar continues to ridiculously believe that he and Maddy aren't working despite having been in love with her for a year, apparently solely because they aren't pawing each other all the time like plastic couples Andy/ Hannah and Josh/Evelyn are. He goes round and breaks up with her, which she deals with in a mature manner by deciding to stay friends and continue with school. Spencer and Evelyn pitch the colour run to Zac, Hannah quizzes Nate about his love life before provoking tears of joy by moving her leg and Evelyn proves how classy real love is by deciding to lose her virginity in the back seat of a car.
S1 • E6154
Josh prudently holds back when Evie kisses him in the car and suggest going all the way, but is frustrated while she fears he may lose interest. VJ finds the gym punching bag a useful outlet for his maternal bedside frustration, but drags sparring partner buddy Jett into suggesting they should train for an amateur match, which Zac firmly refuses. Chris eagerly volunteers to collect/commandeer/hustle sponsor contributions for Spencer's cancer benefit color run.
S1 • E6155
Zac and especially John find it hard to talk VJ and Jett out of aiming for their box gym training to lead to an actual fight, even if that's an unthinkable bloody nightmare for Marilyn, so Palmer hopes to scare them off with grueling training methods, like a raw egg breakfast of champions. While Chris does a great job extorting 'generous' contributions from local businesses, cancer benefit organizer in chief Spencer needs reminding that Roo, hence the diner, would do anything to help Maddy. Denny finally considers dating again, which so far felt as betraying late lover Casey.
S1 • E6156
Josh is more amused the impressed but keeps a fairly straight face when 'big brother' Oscar reads him the riot act about dating Evie like a father might. Josh also asks Kyle for a restaurant job, rather then sponge on Andy or work under him in the gym. Ash is flattered that Denny shows interest in him, but dares not return her kisses, given his promise to Darryl to keep off her. Yet Ash is verbally abused by Rickie, even after Kyle points out Ash didn't make a move and encourages Ash to look after their own lives.
S1 • E6157
Nate is ready to date Cat again, but she acts aloof at their next dinner after hearing he's Ricky's ex. During her first jail visit, Darryl is not amused that Ricky nags about being banned so long and keeps blaming and badmouthing Ash, now on account of Denny's kiss. Kyle finds the news that her stalker-kidnapper is jailed without trial only deepens Phoebe's paranoia.
S1 • E6158
Startled Nate finds Cat unwilling to keep dating him, afraid that rumors could 'undermine her credibility' as police newbie; she even scares Chris into retracting his rumor trail. Kyle convinces cat to find out and tell Phoebe what happens to her stalker Ryan Kelly. Nate reluctantly allows Hannah to nag till Andy takes her out of a boat trip, but her yapping causes them to fail noticing a fast-approaching yacht.
S1 • E6159
Hannah turns out not to be in any real trouble at all but it's enough to get Andy to wallow in guilt until everyone tells him how wonderful he is (while Hannah is uncharacteristically happy that her niece is doing it). John and Zac's attempt to put Jett and VJ off boxing with hard workouts backfires when the boys rumble them. Maddy is struggling with her study without fickle Oscar so Roo drafts in Spencer, who is disgusted with Oscar's behaviour. Maddy then suffers a panic attack at the thought of going back to school.
S1 • E6160
Maddy is still upset about Oscar's senseless rejection of her and almost doesn't go back to school. Sasha returns looking to see Matt, who retreats into his favourite past time of bullying Spencer, escalating a row between Spencer and Oscar in class which leaves Maddy upset. John and Zac feel they have no option but to let Jett and VJ fight each other but a self-righteous rant from Irene prompts Zac to withdraw the offer. Matt again winds up Spencer and Oscar, this time in front of Sasha, resulting in VJ, denied a safe outlet for his anger, punching Oscar and getting suspended. Matt completes his day of being a jerk by brutally telling Sasha he doesn't love her.
S1 • E6161
VJ is very bitter about his suspension, even snaps at Nate just for trying to mediate, but Zac can't reverse it, so VJ decides instead to spend the time at comatose Leah's bedside with an aunt. Ash has a ball introducing Denny to surfing, but Ricky's presence makes her back down. After nagging till Matt admits he still loves her, Sasha is made to face the impossibility of following her dream at university while frequently returning home for him, her trial period idea makes no sense.
S1 • E6162
Nate isn't daunted by Kat's fear if looking unfit for police work by having an affair, yet after making out she reverts into secrecy. Ricky realizes Ash and Denny are really in love but tells him to talk to Darryl about his promise to leave her alone. Matt is gloomy about his future as final year schoolboy now Sasha finally leaves for full-time study after a surprise party for two.
S1 • E6163
During a jail visit, Ash tries to get Darryl's blessing to date Denny, but is bluntly told no way, which Kyle later explains as about Casey's tragic end. When cat praises Nate for his ER performance, he gives her a taste of being sanctimoniously ignored by a lover, which gets her reconsidering his 'dumping'. Andy dares to tell Kyle he's not formally qualified yet to run the gym.
S1 • E6164
Spencer continues to resent Oscar for upsetting Maddy, giving Evelyn something to whine about, but eventually manages to be the bigger man and apologise. However, he is left arguing with Chris about who has to move into Sasha's old room. Josh learns about Andy's reading problems and agrees to help him, and also finds himself employed as a delivery boy at Angelo's when Matt proves unreliable. Maddy is still unable to face up to Spencer and Oscar, leaving her effectively friendless. Evelyn decides to support her after a hospital appointment and learns her chemo isn't working.
S1 • E6165
Maddy is devastated that her chemo isn't working so Evelyn takes her back to the farm to cheer her up; unfortunately, Oscar does the same with newly single Matt, and when Josh comes round doing Matt's delivery job both Matt and Maddy walk out. Matt quits his job but Oscar tries to convince Maddy to keep fighting for the people who care about her. Chris moves all Spencer's things into Sasha's old room and Spencer accepts it when they accidentally smash a window in the old room. Marilyn tries to convince Phoebe to return to singing. VJ suggests to Zac that he goes to live with his gran; Zac feels very uncomfortable about it but Alf convinces him to agree. At that moment, Leah is waking up.
S1 • E6166
Maddy is still uncertain about the colour run after Oscar arrogantly blabbed to her about it, while Spencer is still planning the undertaking as a surprise. Oscar determines to get her there but instead gives her a patronising lecture and leaves her alone. The news arrives that Leah has recovered consciousness and Zac and VJ rush to her side but Zac is racked with guilt after Alf foolishly convinced him to stop waiting for her. Gunno illogically starts giving Brax a hard time just because Ash is visiting him, sparking off a riot, and when Brax refuses to say who started it he lands them both in solitary.
S1 • E6167
Everyone frets at the colour run but just as they're about to start without her Maddy turns up. Not only does she start the race off, she determinedly walks the course herself, and is left with a renewed determination to fight her cancer. Kat uses Chris to make Nate finish behind her, then fobs him off so she and her not-entirely-secret lover can disappear off to a motel room. Ash finds out about Brax being in solitary and tells Kyle but not Ricky. With Matt still off wallowing, Kyle convinces Phoebe to sing instead and joins her, but things get awkward when he proposes to her in front of everyone.
S1 • E6168
Kyle is shocked that Phoebe not only refused his proposal but moved to Ricky's and feels any marital plan spoils their relationship, maybe even irreparably. Nate and Kat enjoy a passionate night, but she panics after near-oversleeping, forced to the 'walk of shame' home, noticed by Ash, who meanwhile finds Denny unable to give them a chance, as if betraying Casey.
S1 • E6169
Andy is delighted to be shown that Hannah can stand again, albeit only moments yet, which they celebrate in bed. Josh is pleasantly surprised by Andy's study progress for the gym instructor exam. Ash is relived when Denny agrees to a relationship after all. Matt still wallows in self-pity, even over the job he threw at Josh, only Evie still seems to care for him but he waves owing manning up to awoken Leah.
S1 • E6170
John Palmer regretfully turns down a Navy veterans reunion invitation as too expensive, leading to the realization that Summer Bay should have its own war memorial. Matt keeps making a pest of himself, but must go very far to shake off Evie, who is determined to kick him a conscience to pick of his life post-Sasha. Zac is angry that he didn't even properly welcome back Leah, who can't hide she still gets headaches and can't get used to her old life again.
S1 • E6171
Ash starts to worry as Darryl is still in isolation, but Kyle decides not to tell Ricky before they know the full story. Ricky forces Phoebe finally to talk again to Kyle, but he still wants marriage and now even kids 'sometime', chasing her even worse. Josh patiently allows Evie to bother with impossible Matt, who is becoming a dysfunctional drunk fast.
S1 • E6172
Ash finds out and tells Kyle that Daryl is threatened in jail by his own nemesis there, drug murderer Gunno. Nate learns that Cat's fear for a public relationship stems from some unspecified past trauma, which seems unsurmountable, and tries to calm down pregnant Ricky as she's told about Daryl's peril.
S1 • E6173
Nate agrees to remain friends with Cat as long as she hasn't come to terms with her exposed affair with a married man at her first post. Andy's first gym instructor assessment, in practice, goes poorly, despite help form 'guineapig' Spencer, who is explicitly judged better fit, so Kyle warns Andy his job and the gym's very existence now depend on the theoretic part the next day. Ash begs Zac to arrange a prison visit with Darryl's assailant Trevor 'Gunno' Gunson, who bluntly says the next abuse may be fatal unless Ash helps him bring in drugs. Alf refuses to join the school trip to the national war memorials, disgusted by the seemingly disinterested youth.
S1 • E6174
Andy is still regarded as the best choice for gym manager, so Hannah does a strip tease to encourage him to get proper qualifications. Spencer is understandably reluctant to see the father who abused him and Maddy last time he was in town, but a chat with surrogate family Alf and Roo and with Maddy convinces him to accompany Chris to the hospital. The conversation causes Maddy to decide she needs to contact her own estranged family about her cancer. Evelyn convinces to be a brat about the Anzac Day trip but does at least realise how offensive she was towards Alf. She and Matt oddly choose to discuss their kiss while Josh is in earshot, leaving Josh snarling at Matt. At the last minute, Alf decides to accompany the excursion after all.
S1 • E6175
Maddy meet controlling mother Tanya for the first time in over two years, having apparently only aged one year in the meantime, and tells her about her cancer. Tanya appears supportive but is soon blasting Roo, the woman who's supported Maddy throughout it all. Alf grows increasingly frustrated at the brattish attitude of the teens on the war memorial excursion, especially Evelyn and Matt, but a lecture from Marilyn causes the youngsters to begin to appreciate the solemnity of the occasion (although Josh continues to act like a macho jerk). Jett notices Alf is plagued by memories of his service but Alf hides how much it is affecting him when the group have to spend the night in a trench.
S1 • E6176
The teens have to spend the night in a simulation World War I trench, but it isn't enough to stop Josh and Matt brawling like idiots and Oscar has to stop Matt walking off. It's too realistic for an increasingly haunted Alf, who wanders off during the night and collapses on the battlefield, with the group having to work together to look after him until help arrives. Maddy is torn between her worries about Tanya's controlling behaviour, her desire for reunion with her family and surrogate mother Roo's feelings: She decides to go back to her family and Roo asks her to stay and talk to Tanya when the news comes through about Alf. Leah is looking forward to a quiet night in but is disturbed by Nate. Ash confides in Ricky about what's going on with Brax, and, when they can't come up with another solution, he decides to do the job for Gunno.
S1 • E6177
Alf is in hospital in the city and, while he hasn't had a heart attack, the doctors are still concerned. Jett pays him a visit and they meet Tom Knight, a WW2 veteran who seems bitter about his experiences despite his apparent joviality. Maddy tells Oscar she's leaving but can't bring herself to Tanya. Finally realising that her home and family are in Summer Bay, she tells Tanya she can't go with her. Ash tells Kyle about the drop off he's going to do for Gunno but Gunno's underling drops off a bag of money a day earlier than planned, resulting in them hiding it in the less than sensible location of the gym.
S1 • E6178
Ash must do Gunno's bidding, but Kyle decides, after a reconciliation with Phoebe went so badly she even resigned as restaurant staff, that he has 'nobody to be missed' and goes instead, to spare Denny another Casey-trauma. Getting drunk together, Cat and Phoebe resolve to make up with Nate and Kyle, but Nate refuses and Kyle is on his mission. Alf resolves to return the effects of his dead hospital roommate, fellow war veteran Tom Knight, to his long-estranged son.
S1 • E6179
Chris is crushed when Spencer decides, after phoning home, to return indefinitely to make up with their father. Gentleman Nate's restraint with drunk nymphomaniac Cat is rewarded with a sober offer to date publicly. Alf fusses terribly about being released from hospital in time for ANZAC day, which he never missed, just now it's the Gallipoli centennial. Jett gathers the youth and John to prepare a special event - Josh designs and starts sculpting a monument. Andy and the MacGuires are delighted now Hannah can walk again.
S1 • E6180
Spencer makes a rather rushed exit from the Bay, although he does manage last moments with Roo, Maddy and, oddly, Matt. Matt himself makes an exit after Evelyn finally calls him out on his sulking over a high school break-up. Leah tells Zac she loves him after an impromptu indoors picnic. Ash tells Denny he had a brother who may or may not have died in Afghanistan and is visiting his grave, while Andy leads the River Boys in their never before seen Anzac Day commemoration despite not being a River Boy. Roo and Nate manage to break Alf out of hospital to join the dawn service Jett and the other teens have put together, and after an emotional service he scatters his grandfather's ashes in the sea.
S1 • E6181
Alf has to go back to hospital after the dawn service but, with Maddy still having chemotherapy, Roo is unable to accompany him. Marilyn decides to go with him instead and kind-hearted Maddy arranges to stay with Irene so Roo can go. Josh and Evelyn wonder about Matt's whereabouts and take a surprisingly long time to think of trying Mangrove River. Ash is finally reunited with lost sister Billie at their brother's grave and convinces her to come back to Summer Bay and spend time with him. However, the revelation that her ex-boyfriend Dean is dead doesn't exactly set her at ease.
S1 • E6182
Billie is keen to leave after hearing of Dean's death. Ricky takes it upon herself to tell her what happened and Billie ends up taking Ash's number. Chris' plan for a cosy afternoon with Irene is thwarted when she and Maddy exclude him by having pedicures, then Irene overreacts and accuses him of making Maddy feel unwelcome. Fortunately, he's nice enough to apologise anyway. Josh and Evelyn spend ages tracking Matt down only to yell abuse at him for a couple of minutes then go away again, although he ends up going home anyway. Kyle returns from his job in a sulky and monosyllabic mood only for Ash to discover Gunno wants them to carry on doing jobs.
S1 • E6183
Kyle has done Gunno's delivery, but is asked for another, so Ash warns it won't be enough until it lands him i jail, yet Kyle refuses to 'let Darryl and his family down' and worries when fickle ex Phoebe talks to cop Cat, causing another tongue-lashing. Leah finds brat lodger Matt utterly drunk, Nate warns he's slipping into his addict father's River Boy worst habit, so the knave promises to clean up his act.
S1 • E6184
Nate is positive about Matt's chances to avoid alcohol addiction and approves an alternative to hospital counselor therapy, a youth camp. Zac also supports him and is happy with Leah, but decides, against VJ's emphatic advice, to come clean about the time he nearly left at the now most appreciative knave's suggestion. Andy's mock test results are stunningly good. He's delighted when Oscar volunteers to take Spencer's place in the gym, yet Hannah wines that may cause him to relapse in excessive training.
