Episode 6312

Extended Summary

Roo can’t stop watching the time, Alf speculates that she’s as worried about the exam as Maddy is. Alf tells her they’d see more of each other if Roo would just move back in to the house… Hannah comes in and when asked, tells them that there’s no change with Josh. Hannah arrives back at the hospital to find Andy talking to Josh, giving him the gossip as lightheartedly as he can, but getting tearful as he wishes Josh would just come back. As Hannah and Andy talk Dr Griffin arrives to say they need to do more tests.

As the exam continues Greg Snelgrove asks to have a word with Zac. Outside the room he quietly but urgently tells Zac that there’s been a threat made to the school and they need to evacuate. Outisde as the teens discuss what might be going on Zac comes over and asks if they’ve seen Mr Snelgrove, then goes to look for him. He finds him still inside the school, desperately searching lockers, saying it’s Wayne. Zac urges him to leave the building. Outside the teens watch on as the emergency services arrive, speculating that perhaps Charlotte did it? While they talk Evie gets a text: Meet me at the Caravan Park. Tell no one or I press the button. As everyone else is distracted by the SWAT team going in, Evie slips away. Tank is waiting for her and when she asks what he wants he replies ‘What I’ve always wanted. You’. Evie tells him not to detonate anything and Tank admits that there is no bomb. As they argue Tank becomes more desperate, telling Evie she has to go with him. Evie tries to persuade Tank to turn himself in, to at least go to his father. Tank becomes more agitated as he talks about how he blames his father for his mother’s death. Evie tells Tank he can talk to her and he becomes more sad and tearful than angry. Meanwhile Maddy has realised that Evie is missing and tells Zac and Greg, who immediately go to find Evie. As they run up behind Evie they see her cradling a sobbing Tank and she waves them away as she consoles him. They back off, seeing that she’s not in danger.

After returning home, Evie says she has something to do. She goes to the hospital and Andy apologises for blaming her. He asks her to come with him to see Dr Griffin who’s asked to talk to him. In the doctor’s office they are told that there has been no increase in Josh’s brain activity and they need to consider turning Josh’s life support off. Evie heatedly says that’s not an option, and when Dr Griffin says they’ll need Andy’s permission, he remains stony faced and silent, unable to digest this awful news.

Zac goes to find Greg, who’s drinking and blames himself for the way Tank is behaving. Zac is unable to talk him around and when asked, leaves him to his misery.

Evie arrives home and tells the other teens the heartbreaking news. Meanwhile Hannah has found Andy and tells him that he needs to think carefully about it, the doctor knows what she’s doing. When Andy asks what she’d do if it were Oscar or Evie she says that she’d let them go. Andy goes to see Josh, then to see Evie. They talk about letting Josh go, and Evie breaks down in Andy’s arms.
