Extended Summary
Roo rushes to the hospital after hearing about Alf collapsing. He’s up and talking, but the doctors aren’t sure of the cause of the collapse. Alf tells Roo that the only reason he was outside sleeping in the trenches was to finally get through to the teens about the importance of Anzac Day. Alf tries to leave hospital saying he’s fine but Roo insists he stays put. Later the doctor reveals that Alf has an irregularity in his heartbeat so he needs to stay in hospital a little longer. Alf starts talking to the patient in the bed next to him, Tom, who turns out to be a war veteran too. When Jett comes to visit he hears about Tom’s time in the air force. Jett talks to Alf about serving for your country, then admits he saw Alf being affected at the Vietnam exhibition. He kept an eye on Alf from then on and he was the one who found Alf in the ditch. Alf then finds out he has to stay in hospital for Anzac Day, which triggers Jett to get the teens to organise a special service for Alf.
