Martin’s greatest dream comes true. Emma’s plan to scare Vicki into withdrawing her accusations against Grant gets out of hand.

Extended Summary

Lance talks to Martin as he thinks that Martin is dying. It is still a misunderstanding so Martin doesn’t get what Lance is talking about and vice versa.

Lance is sad and tells Tom that Martin is dying!

Tom is shocked and tells Pippa about it. Sophie is there too. Pippa and Tom have a hard time believing that Martin could be dying.

Martin tells Rhonda that he is joining the army soon. That is what Martin meant with having little time around. The doctor who phoned for Martin earlier was just because of medical reason due to joining the army. Lance and Marilyn still think Martin is dying!

Grant talks to Emma. Grant doesn’t think that she should give Vicki such a hard time by threatening her and beating her up despite what she did to Grant with the accusations.

Emma apologises to Vicki and acts a bit friendlier to Vicki. She seems to be up to something and say she sort of hates Grant now. (It’s probably a plan to be friends with Vicki to get her to admit the truth that Grant is innocent).

Lance tells Adam, Matt, Carly and Bobby that Martin is dying. They feel sad and decide they have to make Martin’s little time left as good as possible for him.

Everyone agrees that Martin should get a date with Carly as that’s one of the things he has always wanted sort of. Carly hates the idea and says no to it and say she can’t do it as she is soon to be married with Ben so it is out of the question. They try to change Carly’s mind and Tom and Pippa are in on the idea too!

Adam, Matt and Lance have a small party with Martin.

Carly agrees to have a date with Martin after a LOT of persuasion!

Emma is out surfing. Vicki is there too. Grant and Matt sees them together and think it is strange that Emma seems to be friends with Vicki all of a sudden.

Bobby is doing more sewing. She is pretty good at it now.

Carly asks Martin if he wants to go out with her. He is very surprised and says yes of course. Carly said she has asked Ben and it was OK!

Far out in water, Vicki falls off the surfboard. Emma paddles in a sailboard and won’t let Vicki come up from water until she will tell the truth that Grant is innocent. After a while, Vicki yells hysterically and falls under water. Emma think she is faking it to get her worried but later realises she is in trouble. Emma screams heaps to Grant, who is out on beach, to help her. Grant is in a hurry and swims out to help Vicki.

Everyone fusses Martin around due to the big misunderstanding that he is dying.

Grant rescued Vicki. Emma doesn’t tell the truth about what really happened.

Vicki told the truth about what Emma did. Grant is angry with Emma. Vicki is very angry with Emma and vice versa.
