Miles responds to Ian’s blackmail attempt. Romeo is frustrated he can’t find work. Romeo’s hatred of John Palmer may be linked to something in his past.
Extended Summary
Miles is undecided what to do about Ian’s blackmail attempt. He has a dream about Ollie and Leah being wiped out by a tidal wave. Charlie becomes suspicious of Ian Radcliffe. John Palmer tells Charlie that Ian Radcliffe has been bragging about ripping off Miles. Ian pressures Miles to pay him, but Miles delays. Miles eventually goes and gets some money out of the bank to pay Ian. Leah and Alf admit they are worried about Miles. Gina tells Miles he can attend the year 12 formal as a guest, but this does not make Miles feel that much better. Leah tries to be encouraging to Miles – later on, so does Charlie, but Miles still feels low. Romeo tells Miles he has to stand up to bullies. Miles eventually offers Ian a proposition – to pay Ian’s rent and give him some odd jobs in exchange for Ian’s silence. Ian knocks this back, but during his response Miles figures out that it was Ian who hurt Riley. Ian denies this and says he intends to talk to the paper.
Xavier apologises to his mother for treating John badly. Gina forgives him provided he apologises to John, which he does. This is seen by Romeo who can’t believe Xavier’s change in attitude. Later on, Romeo warns Gina about John. He also lets slip to Xavier that his mother married someone like John and regretted it, but doesn’t elaborate.
Romeo is struggling to find work and it is getting to him. Gina talks to him about it and suggests he go back to school.
