Extended Summary

Alf and Ailsa have their phone off the hook and are watching television. Alf puts the phone back on and it then rings. He is giving out over the phone.

Roo goes over to see Frank and she hits him in the face! She thinks he must have set her up regarding the letters to Alf and Ailsa.

Frank explains to Bobby about the mystery letter and Roo’s actions.

Morag convinces Roo it isn’t Frank who is responsible for the letter. Roo then thinks it must have been Bobby.

Celia drives over to Alf’s house as they don’t answer the phone. She accidentally hits their garbage can in the garden when she arrives at Alf’s house. She tries to convince them that Roo can’t be responsible for the letter. They are still convinced it is Roo who wrote it.

Alf and Ailsa tell Celia that they’re going on a holiday trip around the world which Nicholas gave them as a prize.

Nicholas talks to Morag. She is surprised that Ailsa didn’t suspect some dodgy reasons behind the trip they won (the real reason behind the trip is for Nicholas and Macklin Development to get Alf and Ailsa out of Summer Bay for a while).

Bobby and Frank argue again, mainly because of the letter and Bobby thinks Frank has not really got over Roo romantically.

Carly persuades Frank and Bobby to go on a picnic with her and Matt.

Frank and Bobby are out on a picnic with Carly and Matt. Frank and Bobby argue a lot but make up after a while.

Carly tell Matt, Bobby and Frank that she won’t move with the family to England. She says she will stay in Summer Bay.

Matt looks worried since he hoped she would move as he does not want to be in a relationship with her but he hasn’t got the guts to tell her.
