Martha’s discovery about The Believers’ lands her in grave danger. Robbie becomes an unwitting pawn in Josh’s deceptive game.

Extended Summary

Tasha awakens groggy, disorientated and her head is throbbing! She can’t remember anything from the night before… What on earth is going on? Jonah is wary around Tasha after sleeping with her last night, without her knowledge. He tries to lead Tasha off the scent, attributing her sickness to food poisoning. His guilt increases as he watches Tasha bolt for the bathroom to be sick as Mumma Rose approaches. She is very pleased with his work and all is going to plan. Jonah tends to Tasha in attempt to absolve his guilt for last night and is interrupted by Martha who asks Tasha what is wrong. Tasha describes her symptoms and says she can’t remember anything after Dinner. Jonah gets snappy, which heightens Martha’s curiosity…

Robbie tentatively queries Josh about how things are going helping him out with The Farm. Josh brushes him off, saying its all fine – he’s organised inspectors, all under control. Not convinced, he is given a package from Josh, and sent on another ‘job’. Address in hand, Robbie reaches a seedy garage and is ordered to wait with some thugs until the guy Robbie is to give the package to is available. Robbie is out of his depth and he knows it. Something isn’t right… The thugs move off to a corner and exchange a bag for cash – Robbie is stunned – what on earth has he gotten himself into? He gets up to leave as Mr Lomax appears. Robbie is glad to hand over the package from Josh. Mr Lomax gives him a package to take to Josh. Robbie rushes out, relieved to be out of there! He drops the package and out falls a wad of cash. Robbie doesn’t know what to think… Josh senses Robbie is nervous as he hands the package over – Robbie denies this despite his overwhelming concern and curiosity… Later at the Diner, Robbie asks Irene ‘hypothetically’ if she thinks it is okay to turn a blind eye to something dodgy, if you know good could come from it? Irene reckons it all depends on how important the good thing is to him…. Food for thought for Robbie…

Desperate for Jack to get another search warrant for The Farm, Martha tries everything she can think of to get evidence that someone is down the hatch on the property. Jack can’t obtain a warrant because there wasn’t anything found in the last search! The Believers still think Martha has been ‘converted’ – and she’s going to use this. Alf tries to talk her out of putting herself at risk – she needs to talk to Jack. Martha feels that if only she only had a way to prove to Tasha that these people are wackos… Martha heads off with purpose to see Tasha and asks her about what happened last night. Tasha can only recall a dream of being smothered, but no other details… Jonah, Mumma Rose and Guy enter – Mumma Rose sends Jonah to the herb garden to get something to help Tasha feel better. Seeing an opportunity to explore further, Martha offers to go instead. Mumma Rose agrees, sending Guy along with her. As they make their way into the bush, Martha finds a reason for Guy to return to camp giving her time to find the hutch. She finally finds the path – then hears Guy calling out to her – Damn – so close! They return to camp to find Tasha feeling much better – thanks to Jonah! Martha makes an excuse to creep out again. Mumma Rose asks where Martha is – Jonah explains – Mumma is suspicious…

Making her way along the path, Martha reaches the hatch as she hears the voice calling out again from the hatch – is that you Rebecca? It is! The hatch is bolted; Martha rushes off for help as Mumma Rose watches on in the distance… Martha bolts into Tasha’s tent – she isn’t there! As she turns to leave she comes face to face with Mumma Rose! Tasha returns – where is Martha? Mumma Rose explains that Martha decided she didn’t want to be a member of the group and has left. Little does Tasha know, but Martha is lying unconscious in a shed on the property…
