Extended Summary

Gypsy is one complicated person – she has revealed it’s Shelley she likes.. It looks serious, but Shelley seems to be taking things very lightly.

Jade been going around school in a daze, its her turn at the Dice Man game and she has to steal something from the mall in Yabbie Creek.

Irene has been experiencing more problems due to her refusal to sell the house. She received a letter from her neighbours pressuring her to sell. Will came home asking where the letterbox had gone. Both Will and Irene are on the defensive and barely able to keep their tempers under control. Hayley helped Irene draft a letter, while Noah is tossing all sorts of theories around. Then after handing out the letters, Irene bumped into a couple of her neighbours and let them have it.

Since Vinnie called off the wedding he has been saying he’s not going to feel like a no-hoper. Leah tried everything to talk Vinnie around, but he isn’t listening. She told me she’s now thinking Vinnie called it off to get out of marrying her. Stella doesn’t think Leah is good enough for Vinnie, and Theo feels the same way about Vinnie. Leah overheard this and became so mad she yelled at the two of them to stop being hostile, especially since they’ve both ruined her life.
