Extended Summary
Angry that Quinn is ending his time in Summer Bay so soon, Ryder doesn’t even attempt to hide his contempt towards his mother. Alf hopes they can all keep in regular contact in the future, but Quinn isn’t prepared to promise anything. Later, when Ryder has a night terror, Alf and Roo are shocked and confused. Roo confronts Quinn, pointing out that Ryder’s episode only came after she turned up. Alf offers his support, and Quinn opens up about how hard it was to raise Ryder alone, admitting it ruined her life. Ryder overhears this and is furious, storms outside, and speeds off in Alf’s car. But when John tries to stop him, Ryder takes his eyes off the road, and clips Roo – has he made a fatal mistake?
Stuck in a car boot with Justin after Boyd’s attack, Willow soon feels claustrophobic and panics. Justin calms her, and Willow reveals how much the Triumph means to her – it reminds her of her father before he began to suffer Alzheimer’s disease. Ziggy arrives the next morning and lets them out. Justin’s angry about how much damage Boyd has done, and Willow marches off, guilty, stressed and frustrated. But later she returns and hands Justin the keys to the Triumph, hoping he can sell it to cover his excess payment. She moves off, but not before pointing out he’s not the first guy who’s tried to save her.
Brody’s attempt to thank Ziggy for fixing the Diner oven with an intimate family dinner at her place meets Ben’s disapproval, putting another large barrier in front of them. The next day, Brody suggests that Justin take on an apprentice at the garage – meaning Ziggy. Unable to read between the lines, Justin considers hiring a TAFE student, leaving Ziggy to head off deflated. Brody admits to Raffy that he likes Ziggy, but should be six months clean before getting into a relationship. Back at home, Maggie encourages Ziggy to get back with Brody if she wants to – she’ll even work on changing Ben’s mind. Has a window re-opened for them?
