Extended Summary

Alf returns home from the hospital, still not knowing what’s wrong. Maddy & Matt go to check in on him and in their excitement to see him, start rabbiting on about all the things he’s missed. Then all of a sudden Alf yells at them to shut up and storms off. When Roo broaches the subject with Alf later asking what it was about, he goes off at her as well and at the height of stress has another heart episode. At the hospital, Nate asks Roo about what Alf was doing when it happened and she mentions he was looking over the old war medals and photos that belonged to Tom. Nate quickly gets a hunch about Alf’s condition. Nate tries to talk to Alf about it but he doesn’t want to hear Nate’s diagnosis – could Alf have post traumatic stress disorder?

Jett has returned from the city and tells John he’s got something important to talk to him about, only they’re interrupted by Chris. He’s still trying to hold onto his friendship with John and decides the best way to do that is just turn up everywhere John is! John’s not pleased and gives Chris a phoney favour to do for him, to get Chris out of his hair for a while. Finally just the two of them, Jett confesses to John that after a lot of thinking, he’s decided he wants to join the army. John is shocked and makes fun of Jett’s confession at first, until Jett pulls him in line and tells John he’s thought a lot about it. After Anzac Day he’s seen what it really means to serve your country and he wants to pursue that. John finds it hard to digest.

Leah confesses to Zac about the headaches and blurry vision she’s been having. She tells him she’s gone to Nate and he’s scheduled an MRI scan. She’s scared to tell VJ and worried she may have made it worse by waiting so long to tell someone. Zac comforts her and says not to get ahead of herself, at least she’s taking action. Leah finally tells VJ what’s going on and that she doesn’t know what’s wrong with her. VJ is surprised and worried, deciding to accompany Leah when she goes for the MRI scan.

Maddy, Matt, Josh & Evie are hanging out together, now that the air is cleared, talking about school. Matt & Maddy both confess they’re way behind on their work so Evie suggests maybe they should study together? Josh quickly pulls her aside and warns that if they spend too much time together it might encourage them to develop a romantic connection. Evie’s surprised at the suggestion but doesn’t see what the problem is, unlike Josh who predicts disaster. As the guys all talk about the idea of Matt & Maddy studying together, the banter between Matt & Maddy begins as competitive but soon turns playful…even flirtatious. Josh & Evie clock the vibe which confirms Josh’s initial concern.
