Extended Summary

Amanda returns from the city and Graham tells her that Robbie and Tasha want the apartment back. Not happy – Amanda manipulates Graham into re-thinking the situation. He goes to them and tells them that he’s decided to keep the place and they will have to find somewhere else. Meanwhile, Tasha’s still rabbiting on about Mother Rose and how wonderful she is, and Martha finally can’t take it any more. Over this dialogue we cut to the farm and see a visual of a shrine to Tasha, where Jonah is lighting a candle. Tasha has no idea what she’s getting into. Meanwhile, Martha fills Jack in on her suspicions re: Jonah and asks him to do some digging. Jack’s reluctant at first but Martha manages to talk him around.

Amanda’s mobile beeps and she reads the message – it’s from Josh. He’s telling her that he’s back next week…how is she going with the money? Amanda smiles and is about to type a reply when Graham rejoins her after telling the kids he’s keeping the flat, a head full of steam. It didn’t go well? Beth was furious. Amanda says she’s sorry he’s having so much trouble with his family, but she’s looking forward to having a place to spend some time with him that isn’t the inside of a hotel room. She’s fishing to move into the flat with Graham and he takes the hook – let’s do it!

Martha wonders if Jack has had any luck tracking down info on ‘The Believers’? All Jack knows for know is that there’s no record of that woman’s name – or Jonah’s. Martha – So they’ve got fake names? Jack nods – it appears so, but that’s not illegal. But Martha is more convinced than ever that something strange is going on… Meanwhile, Tasha has filled Jonah in on all that’s happened about the apartment and Jonah says that she can live on ‘the farm’. Tasha thinks that would be wonderful – Robbie too? Jonah – of course, our home is your home. Jonah gives a brief run down of how little community works in terms of living arrangements…which all sound wonderful to Tasha. Tasha takes it all in, thoughtfully. Robbie is setting things up in the bedroom when Tasha returns and tells Robbie she has something she wants to tell him – she wants then to move to The Farm! Robbie proves hard to persuade and Tasha begs him to at least come back and look at the set up again. Please? Robbie reluctantly agrees…what is he getting himself into?

Meanwhile, Amanda complains to Graham that no one will give her a fair go. She purposely steers the conversation in a direction about how she has nothing in the Bay – except Graham. Amanda says she has trouble even paying for the basics for Ryan etc– but she can’t afford to. She never once intimates that Graham should give her the money, instead waiting for Graham to offer. When he does she says she doesn’t want his money, but Graham insists. He moves off and she reveals a sinister smile.

Meanwhile, Jonah is showing Robbie and Tasha around The Farm again, trying to talk Robbie in to the lifestyle. Tasha is still absolutely all for it but Robbie is only slowly thawing.

Elsewhere, Jack rushes in the Club to find Martha, telling her he’s got some alarming news – a group calling themselves the Believers tried to recruit her in to a cult in Queensland a few years ago – claiming it was all light and life but she learned after a while that it was actually a weird religious thing where the head person – Mother Lilly as she called herself back then – wanted all the women to be pregnant to her son?!
