Extended Summary

Ricky, Phoebe and Ash walk to the car, talking about getting tested to donate a kidney to Kyle. Ash has to tell Phoebe that she can’t, she’s pregnant. Phoebe reluctantly acquiesces, she just hates feeling helpless.

Kat stops by to see Nate. Kat is caring but they end up arguing after she asks whether Kyle’s deterioration will affect Nate’s career. Nate leaves, saying he has to get back to the hospital. Ricky, Phoebe and Ash are gathered in Kyle’s room reassuring him when Nate walks in. Nate asks how the dialysis is making Kyle feel, and then Ricky and Ash tell Kyle that they’re going to get tested to see if they can be donors for him. Kyle refuses, saying he won’t accept a kidney from them. Ricky and Phoebe try to persuade him but it takes Ricky bluntly telling him that he has to accept their help for him to back down.

In the diner James is flirting with Roo when Denny walks in. She orders and asks James if they’ve met before. James tells her that he has one of those faces and Denny seems to accept that and goes to sit at a table. After her coffee though she comes and sits with James, insisting that she’s seen him before. She tries to guess where they might have met and James shuts her down abruptly. Denny leaves, a little taken aback and when Roo asks what happened, James tells her that he had to shut Denny down because she was asking about Kyle, citing patient confidentiality. His phone rings and he gets it, saying he should probably get back to the hospital.

Ricky follows James into Kyle’s room trying to persuade him that Nate wasn’t at fault, he just did what Ricky asked but James won’t talk about it. He goes on to tell Kyle, Ricky, Phoebe and Ash that although Heath isn’t a match their brother Darryl is. Kyle tries to stop him but James is on a roll, telling him that it could save Kyle’s life. Ricky has to speak up, saying Brax passed away. James apologises, saying they will just wait for the results.

Ricky bumps into Nate and thanks him for coming back for Kyle. Ricky’s voice catches and Nate asks what’s wrong. Ricky tells him that Brax could have been a donor and breaks down, saying it’s cruel. Nate holds her and as he’s comforting her Kat sees them. Nate and Kat exchange a loaded look. Back at the house Nate and Kat argue about Ricky, Nate accuses Kat of being jealous but Kat insists she’s not, that his close relationship with Ricky is the problem. The conversation ends with Nate telling Kat to leave.

Denny finds Ricky at home, cleaning furiously. Denny makes Ricky tell her what’s wrong. Ricky tells Denny about Kyle needing a kidney transplant and that Brax would have been a match. Denny insists that Ricky go and lie down, she’ll do the cleaning. A shocked Denny finds a note addressed to Ricky, tucked behind the shelves: ‘Ash lied! Brax is still alive’. After her nap a grateful, refreshed Ricky finds Denny in the garden, but she acts oddly and leaves, taking the note with her.

Phoebe watches Ash surfing then they talk about waiting for the test results, Phoebe is impatient to find out if anyone’s a match. When Phoebe mentions Brax being a match she asks Ash if he’s okay, saying how he acts strangely whenever anyone mentions Brax.

James and Roo meet in the caravan park and James inadvertently almost tells Roo he loves her. She stops him and he won’t say it again, but when he says maybe it’s a bit soon she tells him she loves him too. They seal it with a kiss. Later in the diner Roo watches James as he eats breakfast, and takes her wedding ring off. She goes over to sit with him, and they talk about her meeting his family sometime. When Roo tries to pin down a date James is evasive. Denny then walks in and demands to speak to Ash, who’s sitting at another table. Outside on the pier a distressed Denny confronts Ash about Brax still being alive. She’s upset and demands that he contact Brax to tell him to come and save Kyle.

Kat tries to apologise to Nate again but he doesn’t want to hear it, saying there’s too much baggage and that they need some space.

Denny takes Ash to see Ricky and Phoebe but before he can be made to tell them about Brax Ricky’s phone rings. After the call Ricky tells them that she’s not a match but that Ash is. Ash says he’ll do it, ‘it’s what Brax would do’…
