Extended Summary
Roo’s rattled after being hit by Alf’s car, but thinks no permanent damage has been done, as John helps her up. Guilty and concerned, Ryder tries to check on her, but John orders him to stay back. John takes Roo home, where Alf and Quinn are furious. When Ryder arrives outside, Quinn apologises for saying he ruined her life. He gathers the courage to face Roo, only to meet an aggressive tirade from Alf, and he leaves, unable to take the pressure. After the initial shock, Alf wonders what is behind Ryder’s behaviour, and finds him at the Diner. Ryder admits he doesn’t know. They head back to see Roo and Quinn, together, they’ll get to the bottom of it. But at home, Roo has collapsed, and Alf rushes her to hospital. Meanwhile, Ryder visits Raffy and reveals he’s decided to leave, and she can’t convince him otherwise. He asks her not to tell anyone. At hospital, Roo’s examination shows that she may have a fractured vertebrae. Just how badly has Ryder hurt her?
Hunter’s still concerned that Axel has his sight sets on Olivia, despite her attempts to play it down as a non-issue. But at the fashion showcase, Axel whisks Olivia off, and under the guise of doing his job, continues to weave his spell on her. When Hunter confronts Axel about making a pass at Olivia the other night, he claims he was getting mixed signals. Axel joins Olivia inside, and Hunter takes off before he loses control. Mason drops Olivia home, and she attempts to sort things out with Hunter, but he’s made up his mind – Axel is out of line, she just can’t see it. Olivia heads upstairs, upset, and growing further apart from Hunter by the minute.
Kat calls Robbo on how distant he’s been towards her lately. Robbo covers badly, unable to reveal that he killed Novak to keep her safe. Kat guesses that Robbo’s having second thoughts about having the baby with him because it’s not his. But Robbo just needed some time to process everything, and suggests they find a new place where the three of them can start fresh, giving Kat hope for the future. But the next morning Kat hears that Novak’s phone has turned up in Melbourne – but, he’s nowhere to be found – and Robbo’s promises to keep her safe can’t stop her alarm growing.
At the riverside, a human foot sticks visibly out of the sandbank – is Robbo’s secret about to be blown wide open?
