Kyle has his day in court, and all hope rests on Kyle and Tamara. Indi is afraid Sid will be attacked by Neil, and Lisa is upset that she’s managed to involve the Walkers in her problems. Harvey can’t decide who to pick as his groomsmen.

Extended Summary

With Tamara missing, Kyle’s testimony is thrown into doubt. Heath threatens Kyle, warning him to tell the truth on the stand. Heath’s actions pay off, and Kyle proves himself loyal to the Braxtons by insisting his surname be read ‘Braxton’ not ‘Bennett’. He admits all of his wrongdoings, mending part of the rift between Casey and himself. He also proves a useful character witness, condemning their father.

Kyle reveals the extent of Danny Braxton’s plans for Casey to the court, to the shock of the Braxtons. Off the back of Kyle’s testimony, things are looking up, and Tamara arrives just in time to testify. Sasha sees Casey with Tamara and is worried she’ll lose him. The prosecution tries to discredit Natalie, and her testimony is ultimately considered questionable.

Indi’s afraid Sid will be attacked by Neil, Lisa’s abusive ex-husband. Sid reassures Indi, only to advise her to lock the doors. Neil shows up at the Walkers while Sid is out, and a frightened Indi refuses to let him inside. Sid, while at a motel with Lisa, finds out that Neil came to the house.

Lisa is upset that she’s managed to involve the Walkers in her problems. Sid decides to confront Neil by tricking him into meeting, and when he arrives behind the Surf Club for a fake meeting with Lisa only to see Sid, he hides. Neil confronts Indi at Angelo’s and threatens to not let her go until she reveals Lisa’s whereabouts.

Marilyn, Alf and Harvey are the picture of serenity while at brunch – until their calm morning is shattered by an energetic Roo’s return. She asks Marilyn to be a bridesmaid, and Marilyn enthusiastically agrees. Roo also wants to ask Lottie and Leah to be bridesmaids, unaware that Leah’s skipped town.

Harvey is concerned when he has to pick his groomsmen. Alf is shocked to discover that Harvey’s never been a Best Man, and he doesn’t have any friends to ask.
