Extended Summary
Kyle runs into Phoebe whilst leaving Ash’s van for the first time post-break up. Kyle asks why she just disappeared and didn’t show up for her shifts at Angelo’s and she admits she thought it would be weird. Kyle agrees it might be, but they’re adults and they can get past it. Phoebe agrees to come back to work. At Angelo’s, it doesn’t take long before they’re snapping at each other, which culminates in an argument over the Braxton family and their secrets. Phoebe’s had enough and quits. She then vents to Kat who agrees that the men of Summer Bay are hopeless. They toast their mutal frustration over men with wine and after several drinks, Phoebe decides she still loves Kyle. She’s made a big mistake giving up on them. Kat is thinking about her own dalliance with Nate and realises she too may have jumped the gun on ending things with him. Kat turns up to Nate’s place, drunk, and turns on the moves. Nate stops her – Is he over her already?
Alf is frustrated that he’s going to miss Anzac Day at Summer Bay. Alf asks Tom, in the bed next to him, where his family is. Tom admits he hasn’t seen his son in years. Tom breaks down when he remembers an incident from the war where he had to crash land in a field; he lost his whole crew that night. Alf can see how much Tom is still affected by the incident. Later Alf wakes up to hear that Tom has passed away. Alf offers to find Tom’s son to pass on his belongings. When he goes through Tom’s things he finds Tom’s veteran medals and photos, which affects Alf deeply.
Ash goes to Denny to tell her about the deal with Gunno. She’s furious that he’s considering getting involved and risking his own life. But after Denny is reminded by Nate what Ricky has been through lately, Denny understands that this is the only way to help both Brax & Ricky. She tells Ash she’ll be here for him after the job. Kyle realises Ash is putting Denny in the same position she was in when Casey was killed. Kyle tells Ash he’s doing the drop – not Ash. Kyle’s got no one to lose anymore. Kyle prepares to make the drop as Ash & Denny see him off. Soon after Phoebe turns up looking for Kyle and when she sees Ash & Denny’s evasive looks, demands to know what’s going on. They tell Phoebe that Kyle is doing a job for Gunno to save Brax.
