Extended Summary
Leah finally catches up with a self pitying Matt, who continues to cover up his drinking. While making Matt a much needed coffee Irene witnesses the tension between him and Evie. Evie tells Josh that Matt’s a mess, but chickens out of telling him that Matt kissed her. Leah makes some headway talking to Matt in a late night D&M, but despite considering it, he doesn’t go through with pouring away his alcohol stash.
Josh and Evie talk about the Canberra War Memorial excursion, while John is putting everything into arranging a local Anzac Celebration. Evie drops off an excursion information pack for Maddy and inadvertently shows Alf that the younger generation think Anzac Day isn’t important. While Alf hides his reaction from Evie, he is really hurt by her attitude. Josh looks for Matt, bringing his absence from school to Leah and Irenes’ attention. Leah feels guilty for not being there for Matt when Sasha left and shows him that they all care. Matt swears he’ll stop letting himself down.
Ricky is upset and confused that the gaol won’t allow her to visit Brax. Ash offers to check up on it, diverting Ricky from contacting the lawyers. Kyle and Ash argue about telling Ricky that Brax is in solitary but Kyle insists they stick to the plan. Phoebe is cooking up a messy storm and inadvertently furthers Ricky’s worries about Brax. Ricky has had enough of sharing with Phoebe and asks her to move out; whilst also telling her that she thinks it’s high time she and Kyle talked. Phoebe apologises to Kyle but he still wants to marry her, and takes it one step further by talking about starting a family. Phoebe thinks he doesn’t care about what she wants and walks away. Ricky thinks that Brax is trying to cut her off again, which forces Ash to finally confess to her that Brax is in solitary and has been hurt…
