Episode 6212

Extended Summary

Denny is playing a game of pool with Oscar and Evie at the surf club. Denny’s pretending to be cool over Ash breaking up with her. John enters complaining about how much he has to do to organise the surf carnival. Denny, keen for a distraction, offers to help. John puts the lot to work sorting equipment. Alf then barges in and demands to know why John is organising the carnival behind his back. John just thought because of Alf’s condition it would be better if he did it. Alf yells that his condition didn’t stop him from finding Leah! Before John can speak Alf continues his tirade then pushes John out of the way so he can organise the carnival himself.

When John tells Marilyn about Alf, she thinks that John must have done something to upset him. John questions if Alf acted this way because of his PTSD. Marilyn thinks John should just talk to him. John disagrees thinking that will just make matters worse, deciding to let Alf take control. Out of nowhere Alf comes barging in telling people to get out of his way and yelling instructions to Evie, Denny and Oscar. This is not good…

After a long day of Alf bossing everybody around, Marilyn tries to talk some sense into him, much to John’s reluctance. Marilyn argues she feels for him, but he can’t go around being mean to the people that care about him. Alf surprisingly agrees with her, he just doesn’t want everyone to treat him like a kid wrapped up in cotton wool. He decides they should just move on, agreeing to accept John’s help with the carnival.

Back at the river, the car is under water. Brax comes up sucking in precious air. After he’s taken a few big breaths he dives back under the water to rescue the officers. Brax, still in cuffs hurls the first one onto shore. Brax gets the officer back to consciousness, then tells him the driver is still in the car. The officer then uncuffs Brax who dives back under the water. The officer passes out again. Meanwhile Ash, who has been waiting for Brax, senses something is wrong and drives out from the safe house.

The officer, now conscious, runs up the embankment and flags down a motorist who happens to be Ash. Once told what’s going on, Ash jumps into the river to look for Brax, while the officer calls for police and an ambulance to come. When Kat arrives with backup she asks what Ash is doing here. The officer says he flagged Ash down. After searching for a few hours, Kat tells Ash he’s done enough; it’s getting late and they are going to have to call off the search until morning.

Kyle turns up to talk to Ricky, she asks where Brax is. Kyle says he doesn’t know, he hasn’t heard from Brax yet. Ricky wants to be taken to the safe house but first Kyles questions if Ricky would actually be happy with a life of crime. Ricky says she would if it means being with Brax. At what cost? It’s Kyle’s job to keep her safe and if she does this, she never will be. If they get caught she will lose her son. Ricky, upset, just wants to be with Brax. Ash calls Kyle and tells him that there’s been an accident – The gaol transfer car was run off the road and Brax is missing.

Kat arrives at the Beach house and tells Ricky, Kyle and Billie that the car Brax was being transported in was pushed into a lake. They’ve had a dive team looking for them for 6 hours, but there has been no sign of them and they probably won’t find a body. Kat tells them they will be back at first light to look for Brax. Kyles says so will he. Kyle tries to comfort Ricky who thinks Brax is dead. Ash makes his way back to the safe house where he finds Brax, waiting for him.
