Episode 3985

Extended Summary

Scared to death, Sally tries to talk Diesel down. She starts to move closer to him, eventually trying to reach out for Pippa. Seriously unstable, Diesel yells at her to stay back! He knows how much Sally wants Pippa… surely now she can understand what it’s like to want something so bad, but not to be able to get it. All Sally had to do was say she loved him and this could have all been avoided. Sally fights back her fear…

Scott’s come into the Surf Club to see Alf. There’s a big problem with the Blaxland and they’ve got their biggest booking in weeks that afternoon – a singles charter. Josie overhears and offers to help organise a replacement venue for him at the Surf Club. Meanwhile, Leah and Dan take a deep breath then re-enter the house. Noelene and Helen immediately front them. They need Dan and Leah to help them make a few decisions for the wedding. Dan and Leah realise this little problem is not going to go away!

Sally’s still trying to talk to Diesel, but the tension is broken as her mobile starts to ring. It’s Flynn. Sally explains that Flynn will suspect something is wrong if she doesn’t answer. Diesel relents and Sally picks up the phone. Trying to control the fear in her voice, she says something incongruous. Flynn’s bemused, but when he hangs up, he realises that something is wrong… Meanwhile, Diesel’s becoming increasingly unstable. As he looks at Pippa, he tells Sally’s she going to have to pay.

Everything is set up and the singles are arriving. Scott and Josie are giving out a bolt to all the blokes and a nut to all the girls. The matching pairs dictate partners for the night. Alf comes in and congratulates them on a job well done. Hayley comes over to talk about the drinks, Scott gets defensive and a small argument breaks out between them.

Sally sees Flynn appear in the doorway behind Diesel. He indicates to her to keep Diesel talking… Sally does so, giving Flynn enough time to sneak up behind Diesel and restrain him, as Sally grabs Pippa. The police arrive and take Diesel away. Later, Harper tells Sally and Flynn that Diesel has admitted to framing her. He had a spare key cut from when he was staying with them and let himself in and out of the house the whole time. This sends a shiver down Sally’s spine… but there’s also a great sense of relief that it’s all over.

The party is finishing up and the singles are heading home. Scott thanks Josie for her help. He looks down and notices that he still has his bolt – never did find the girl who it fitted. Josie still has her nut as well – and surprise, they discover that Josie’s nut fits Scott’s bolt. The laughter quickly subsides and Josie stares at Scott with desire. It gets awkward and Scott pulls away. Later, Scott walks along the beach, alone and confused, his mind on Hayley. He still loves her so much. On a different part of the beach, Hayley walks sadly, her mind on Scott – all the plans they had for the future together seem impossible now.

Helen wants Greek music at the wedding and to keep the peace Dan agrees. Leah’s gets upset that Dan’s changing his mind just to suit Helen and Leah and Dan end up bickering as a result… However, they quickly come to their senses. This isn’t how they want things to be. Fed up with situation, Dan comes down for breakfast all thoughtful. All they wanted was something simple, right? Leah doesn’t understand what Dan is getting at? Dan smiles – let’s elope. Leah stunned.
