Brody is shocked by a new detail in his memory. Phoebe’s dragged into Decker’s attempts to get to Justin. Kat grows closer to Ash – is he the one for her?

Extended Summary

Brody is struggling with last night’s dream of his mother desperately urging his silence, and her warning that the family will be destroyed if he tells anyone about the argument he overheard. When Brody airs his worries, Justin is at a loss.

Justin continues to evade Decker’s attempts to contact him, so Decker shows up on Phoebe’s doorstep, imploring her to convince Justin to go to the address. Phoebe is reluctant to get involved but Kat persuades her to at least inform Justin, considering how serious it seems to be. Phoebe tells Brody about it. He’s apologetic and seeks out Decker, taking the opportunity to dig for answers about his vague memories — does Decker remember something going down around that time? Brody’s disappointed when Decker says he doesn’t, Decker admits, that he, himself has become a target. He fears for his life. Decker needs the Morgans to visit the address he’s left in case anything happens to him.

Decker’s visit sparks Brody to remember a key piece of his memory — his Mum was arguing with Decker. But about what? As Justin and Brody try to get their heads around this revelation, they decide they have to find Decker. Little do they know he’s just been run off the road, and his life hangs in the balance…

As Caroline asks Duncan to spend the day with them seeing the sights of the Bay, the tension between Alf and Caroline remains evident. While Duncan, Caroline and Bryce bond over fishing, Roo happens past. With her Dad’s suspicions in mind, Roo tries to ascertain Caroline’s intentions. But as Caroline describes how she wants to make amends, Roo can’t help but think she seems genuine. Later, Duncan and Caroline get a moment alone. Caroline takes the opportunity to clear the air and admit her guilt in cheating and ruining their marriage. Duncan doesn’t believe it’s that black and white, and is surprised when Caroline is overcome with emotion. He comforts her — which is what a concerned Alf sees as he walks past.

When Alf later shares these concerns with Duncan, his son pushes back. Duncan doesn’t want to deal with Alf’s nonsense — instead he wants to focus on spending time with his son. Frustrated, Alf tries to recruit Roo but she’s not having a bar of it either. She reminds Alf that his grandchild is here and that this is his chance to have a relationship with him. With this in mind, Alf tries to engage with his grandson, however Bryce reveals the reason he doesn’t want to talk to Alf is because he’s mean to his Mum. Now realising the true impact of his behaviour, Alf meets up with Caroline to negotiate a truce of sorts. Alf declares that he is letting go of his suspicions — for now.

Kat and Ash’s newly repaired friendship is going well as he gets a reminder of how Kat is missing the action of the police force. Talk of men prompts Phoebe and Kat to muse about what they want in a guy. Kat says she wants a man to make an effort, get to know her family. Kat’s later surprised to receive an inquiry about a job from a security firm. She quickly puts together that Ash was behind it. Touched by the gesture, Kat further bonds with Ash as she helps him assemble a pram for Billie. Once they finish, Kat is stunned to hear Ash, off the cuff, say something in Spanish. He started studying it when they were dating. Kat’s left dumbstruck — is the universe telling her she should be with Ash?
