Extended Summary

On the beach, Ash shows Robbo’s photo to the River Boys and tells them he was last seen at the cottage. Dean tells one of the boys, Taz, to go check it out. Ash says it burned down but Dean says to check it out anyway, also telling Ash to text him the photo to pass on. Ash gives the directions. As they spread out, Ash calls out to not lay a finger on Robbo but call him if they see him. Dean asks what Robbo did and Ash says he took everything from him. At Salt, Alf and John complain about Ash bringing the River Boys back. Tori hasn’t heard of them: The others explain they’re from Mangrove River, usually from broken homes, and have too much time on their hands. Brody gives Ziggy a tray to pass round. Marilyn asks her about Maggie and Ziggy says she’s having tests done. Ash and Dean arrive and Dean goes to the bar. Tori tries to talk to Ash but he’s only interested in finding Robbo. He goes over to Murray and other officers and asks what they’re doing.

Robbo is outside the Morgan house. He passes Buddy and tries to get the door open. At the Diner, Leah offers Jasmine something to eat and tries to get her to go back to the hospital but Jasmine says she can’t. Leah says the hospital tried to call her family and Jasmine says they’re overseas. She looks frightened when Irene turns up but Leah reassures her and introduces them to each other. Irene says she was about to open up but can wait. Jasmine asks to use the toilet and Leah directs her. She asks Irene how the funeral was.

Back at Salt, as Ash continues to berate Murray about not finding Robbo at the address he gave him, Taz and another River Boy show up and help themselves to the food. Ziggy objects, since it’s for the wake, and Dean calls them away. Murray tells Ash that they want to catch Robbo but it’s been passed on to a taskforce in the city. Tori asks to talk to Ash and they head out onto the balcony. Tori says she’s scared for Ash and doesn’t think anything good will come of this. She tries to get him to come home with her but Ash says he can’t yet. Inside, Brody objects to the River Boys rearranging the tables. Murray tries to intervene and Dean squares up to him until Ash steps in, saying the River Boys should leave since Robbo isn’t there. Alf and John comment to Brody that the River Boys used to live in the restaurant. Murray suggests Ash check hospitals: The police sent out Robbo’s photo but doctors tend to treat and then report. He suggests someone with medical connections might have better luck.

Robbo is now inside the Morgan house and goes to the bathroom, taking some pill bottles from a cupboard. He then goes to the fridge and takes some food. He hears Tori arriving and hides. Outside the surf club, Ash tells Dean he shouldn’t have had a go at Murray because he’s on their side. Dean doesn’t think any police are and is shocked when Ash mentions that Kat was a police officer, thinking he shouldn’t tell the others that. Taz didn’t find anything so they’re going to check pubs and servos. Ash says he has a lead of his own to pursue and tries to phone Tori.

Leah confirms to Irene that Jasmine is the girl from the crash. Irene thinks she should be in hospital and suggests calling the police but Leah thinks she’s got her trust, although she agrees to call Tori if she doesn’t get anywhere. Jasmine reappears and Leah asks to talk. They head out onto the wharf where Jasmine explains she moved to Sydney for a fresh start but had trouble meeting people so tried online dating. She met a guy she thought was nice but he got full-on very quickly so she backed off. He then started calling her and turning up at work or when she was shopping, and finally at her house. She called the police but it didn’t help.

Tori is on the phone to Sarah giving medical advice. Entering the bathroom (where the cupboard door is slightly open), she sees blood stains and then notices the back door is open. She goes outside, calling for Buddy, and finds him standing over a prone Robbo. She pulls Buddy away and goes to check Robbo’s pulse, but jumps back when he moves, brandishing a cricket bat at him. Ash calls out from the house. She goes back inside, saying she was on the phone to the hospital, and claims everything’s okay. Ash explains what Murray said. Tori says she’d have reported Robbo if he’d come in but Ash suggests someone else might have seen him or he might have stolen medical supplies or gone to Reefton Lakes. Tori agrees to look into it. She tries to get Ash to promise he’ll send the police after Robbo, not the River Boys, but Ash just says to let him know.

Leah and Jasmine walk on the beach. Jasmine says the AVO only worked for a week. He eventually cornered her in the car park outside the gym. She pushed him away and drove off, not sure where she was going. She took the turn off to Summer Bay, where she had the accident. They head back to the now open Diner. After getting a nod of permission from Jasmine, Leah tells Irene about her being stalked. Leah tells Jasmine that she went through the same thing a long time ago but got through it. She convinces her to go back to the hospital, saying they can’t give out her details and she can explain the situation to them.

Tori goes back outside; Robbo isn’t where she left him but is propped up against the fence nearby. She notes that she’d hoped he’d be gone and he says he tried. She notices his leg’s infected but he won’t go to hospital. Tori asks if he can stand. His attempt to do so results in him toppling over so Tori helps him to his feet. Back at Salt, Ash is propping up the bar. Ziggy is on the phone to Ben and tells Brody they’re still waiting for Maggie’s results. Dean, Taz and Bluey enter and get a warning from John. Dean tells Ash they haven’t found anything. Ash wonders if he should check the hospitals himself instead of waiting for Tori. Dean says he should have a drink and mourn his son, since Robbo will turn up sooner or later.

Tori has Robbo sat on a sofa in the garage while she cleans the wound. Robbo asks what now. Tori says she’ll dress the wound and get antibiotics. Robbo says that’s not what he meant and asks if she’ll tell Ash he’s there. Tori says she doesn’t know.
