Extended Summary

Brodie’s had a tough trot the past few weeks. First, the hostage situation with Hamish, then Mitch leaving for New Zealand. Now she has a head injury as a result of an accident with Alex’s car. Brodie was riding Kirsty’s bike and rode through a give way sign, and Alex wasn’t able to stop. He and Dani was in the car with him. They were arguing.

Duncan told Jude he’s moving back in with Alf. Both Alf and Duncan agreed it would be good to spend time with each other before Alf visits Roo in America.

Nick is getting tired of spending time with Duncan, Jade and Kirsty. He says he wants to spend more quality time with Kirsty, but those two sisters stick together like glue.

Shelley’s dad, Geoff, has come to visit Summer Bay – and he’s brought his new lady friend with him. The next two weeks will be interesting, since the Sutherland household is so divided over Geoff’s new friend.

Will and Gypsy have been acting strangly around each other. Is there something going on?
