Extended Summary

VJ tells Jett about Leah’s aneurism and her fears of having an operation. VJ pressures Zac into doing something about Leah’s behaviour. Matt comes in and suggests VJ come to Maddy’s party. VJ at first refuses, but after Zac says it will give him time to talk to Leah, VJ agrees. Zac’s attempt at talking to Leah does not go very well, she refuses to see a doctor and pushes Zac away. Zac tells Leah she will need to step back from work. Leah is incredulous. “You’re firing me?” She storms off.

Worried about losing his mum, VJ asks if Jett knew something was up with Gina before she died. Jett tells VJ that it was very sudden. Later on Jett asks John if there was anything they could have done for Gina. John, having already asking himself this same question many times before, doesn’t think so. Jett then tells John about Leah’s aneurism; How they have discovered it early, but she doesn’t want to operate on it. John tells Jett it’s her decision but Jett asks, would he feel the same if it was Gina?

Oscar tries to make up an excuse not to go to Maddy’s party. Evie doesn’t buy it so Oscar comes clean that he doesn’t want to see Maddy. Evie pushes Oscar to put Maddy’s needs first. Maddy returns home with essential party supplies, lollies and chips. Leah and Alf are happy for Maddy to have a party as long as she obeys the rules. Once the party starts, Oscar tries to hide his awkwardness, but makes a meal of it by spilling chips and drink everywhere.

Leah arrives at the diner as Alf, Roo, John, Marilyn and Irene are discussing Leah’s health. Leah gets a headache, so John offers to call Zac but Leah gets very anxious and storms out. Alf follows her and tries to get Leah to see reason, but she won’t listen.

Later on at the party, Evie puts Oscar on the spot making him play a game of twister with Maddy. He reluctantly does but the tension is palpable. Josh sees through Evie’s attempts to set up Maddy and Oscar. The following day, Oscar tells Evie that he can’t possibly make a move on Maddy; he’s realised he values her friendship too much. Meanwhile Maddy confides in Roo, she still has feelings for Oscar.

Later on, a worried Alf meets with Zac to discuss Leah. Zac blames himself for firing her. Alf tells him that’s not the issue here, Leah’s not well. VJ and Matt return home; VJ concerned that Leah’s not home yet. Zac and Alf decide to make a search party to look for Leah. They break up into teams to search the surrounding area. Alf discovers Leah’s car abandoned on the side of the road; her phone is in the car. Leah wanders through the bush by herself.
