Extended Summary

Justin arrives at the Pier with the part to repair the engine in Scarlett’s boat. Raffy’s amused to see Justin’s still working on the boat, it seems to be taking ages. Things are light and flirty between Justin and Scarlett. Scarlett films Justin on her phone as he starts the engine. It works! They laugh together, Scarlett’s keen to take the boat out. She thanks him for repairing the engine. He takes her phone to film her starting the engine herself. It doesn’t start though. Justin leans over the engine to take a look at it and Scarlett’s phone falls into the water. Scarlett freaks out, a huge overreaction, and Justin jumps in the water to retrieve it. Why’s Scarlett so attached to her phone? Scarlett doesn’t want a new phone, she wants what’s on this phone. Justin offers to help, he’s surprised by her emotional reaction. Scarlett walks off, emotional, leaving Justin with her phone and wondering what’s wrong. Later, Tori, Justin and Ash retrieve Scarlett’s phone from a bowl of rice, hoping it’s drawn the water from it. Nope, it still doesn’t work. Ash suggests a blow dryer. Justin tries the rice again. He pulls the phone out and turns it on, it works! Scarlett’s background image loads, it’s a photo of herself looking happy and holding a young boy. Is the photo of the boy the reason Scarlett was so worried about her phone? Justin finds Scarlett having dinner at Salt. She’s not pleased to see him. He places the fixed phone on the table and she thanks him once she confirms all her data is still on the phone. She apologises for overreacting. Justin asks who the boy is, is it her son? Scarlett tells him it’s none of his business and goes to leave. Justin accuses her of leaving her son behind in Adelaide and of lying to them all the whole time. Furious, Scarlett slaps Justin across the face. He should not presume to know anything about her! Justin’s left flabbergasted.

Kat’s packed her bag, but she and Ash are both sad about the end of their relationship. Raffy enters, oblivious, and Kat has to break the news to her. Kat picks up a van key from Alf. Scarlett goes to Salt and finds Kat drinking alone at the bar. They commiserate about their lives and Kat invites Scarlett to sit down for a drink, she needs to vent. Kat worries she’s delusional, giving up every woman’s dream – a gorgeous man and a baby. Scarlett advises a child is a huge responsibility and you have to be ready for it. Motherhood isn’t for everyone. She thinks Kat did the right thing. Kat thanks Scarlett for the talk. Ash finds Kat’s police cap just as she walks into the apartment. Kat obviously wants to say something, but Ash hands her the cap and she takes it as a sign he really is ready for this to be the end. She takes the cap and leaves.

Tori is surprised to find Ash at her front door looking for Justin. She invites him in, she can tell something’s wrong. Tori and Ash discuss the break up. Ash didn’t want to end things with Kat, he loves her, but he and Luc are a package deal now. Luc cries and Tori picks her up and comforts up, Ash noting how good Tori is with the baby. Later when Justin’s home, Luc cries again and Ash has to get her home for a sleep. Tori offers to put Luc down in one of the Morgan’s rooms, which makes Justin do a double take, but Ash declines the offer. Ash heads out, Tori twirling her hair as he goes. Justin stares at her. Justin alleges that Tori’s keen on Ash. She struggles to convince him otherwise.

Leah worries Kat and Ash’s break up will affect the adoption. Leah can’t believe Ash and Kat fought tooth and nail for Luc and now they’re breaking up because of her. Alf tells Leah not to worry, Mick’s not in the picture anymore and Luc is fine. Give Ash a go. Leah worries he’s on his own, but Alf thinks Leah knows exactly what he’s going through. Leah drops in on Ash to offer her support with Luc. She knows Ash must be feeling overwhelmed as she went through parenthood alone too. She’s sure Ash will do a good job bringing up Luc. She knows they’ve had their differences but she’s here for him, whatever he needs.

Alf asks Marilyn if she’s heard from Roo, but the last she heard was a couple of weeks ago. Alf’s not pleased she hasn’t been in touch, worried. Alf tries Roo again but has to leave a message. As Roo walks in the door behind him she overhears him asking her to get in touch, he misses his daughter. Roo sneaks up on him and he’s thrilled she’s back.

Raffy’s helping in the diner since it’s her holidays, she’s pretty lonely. Marilyn is upset to hear Kat has moved out. Marilyn worries that Raffy staying with Ash and Luc alone is not ideal. She can’t move back in with Justin and Tori while Brody is still recovering either. Marilyn rants to John that someone needs to put Raffy first for a change. Raffy needs a positive role model, someone to look after her, she’s very lonely. John has an idea. At Palmer House, Justin, Tori, Maz and John ask Raffy if she’d like to move in with the Palmers for a while. There’s always someone home, no baby to keep her awake at night and she gets on well with Marilyn. Raffy doesn’t need convincing, she’s up for it! Marilyn is delighted.
