Episode 6288

Extended Summary

Kyle enters Angelo’s angry, after being accused by Phoebe of forcing her into the pregnancy, and takes it out on Maddy, who is working her first shift. As broken Kyle drinks to numb the pain, guilty Phoebe tells Ash that she was awful to him, and decides she needs to fix things. But Kyle ignores Phoebe’s text, and when Andy suggests that getting drunk won’t help, he promises to ease up. Then when Maddy messes up a pizza order, Andy tells her to give it to Kyle, and he appreciates the gesture. But when Angelo’s closes, Kyle, more drunk than he realised, tries to kiss Maddy, only to be pulled away by Matt before anything can happen. Meanwhile, Phoebe thanks Ash for his support through all her dramas, appreciating how lucky they are to have each other. Furious Roo arrives outside the surf club and checks that Maddy’s okay, before heading off to deal with Kyle. But he’s not at his place, and Roo tells Ricky what happened. Ricky finds Kyle near the beach, and he admits he wasn’t thinking. Ricky’s worried, pointing out that he isn’t himself, and he breaks down.

Ricky finds Maddy the next morning, and apologises for Kyle’s behaviour. Maddy’s surprised when Ricky assumes she may press charges. She is willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, and doesn’t want to stop working at Angelo’s. Roo’s concerned, but Matt promises to keep an eye on things. Ricky’s satisfied with the agreement, and heads off to check on Ash. Ash comes clean, telling her that he feels like he’s dodged a bullet – the next few years of his life would have became a constant negotiation of sharing Phoebe and the baby with Kyle. But Phoebe overhears this, and walks away, cold. Ash apologises, but Phoebe admits that a part of her is relieved as well. She’s experiencing so many different emotions, and Ash suggests they have a gathering to remember the babies. Phoebe’s unsure, but when she apologises to Kyle, he is on board with the idea – it feels right to say goodbye. Back at home, Ricky can see that Kyle is beginning to heal, as he picks up Casey and smiles.

Tormented by nightmares and visions of Denny, Charlotte struggles to hide the truth from Hunter. As the pressure of her secret builds, Charlotte hears Chris comment that no-one has heard from Denny yet, and her family are expecting she would have contacted them by now. With no other option, Charlotte tries to log in to Denny’s social media account, but cannot guess her password. She heads to Denny’s old place, and with the coast clear, searches for Denny’s left-over things, to see if she has written her password down somewhere. When she finally finds Denny’s box, and a notebook contained within, Chris arrives, and she’s forced to hide. Will she be discovered?
