Extended Summary

Alf and Martha sail out to a deserted cove. Martha notes she hoped they were going there. Alf says it’s the best place for fishing and there should be something for her to paint. Martha says it used to be their favourite spot. Alf claims not to remember. At the Diner, Tori asks Marilyn about Raffy, saying she’s planning to check in on her. Marilyn notes Raffy’s worried that the specialist will increase her dosage and leave her more drowsy. Leah comes in and asks how Tori’s doing. Tori admits that Jasmine hasn’t been into work all week and she hasn’t seen Robbo either.

At the gym, Robbo is furiously punching a bag. Mason looks on and quips that the bag was only two days away from retirement. Robbo isn’t in the mood for a chat and tells Mason to take his break. Mason runs into Tori near the Diner and comments on Robbo’s mood. He has also been looking into ways to help Raffy and has heard medicinal cannabis could work. Tori is thrown by the suggestion and says Raffy already has a neurologist. Mason wants to put it to her doctor but Tori says to stick to the plan.

At the beach house, Jasmine is sat at the table, still wearing her dressing gown, while Willow is slumped on the sofa. Willow wants to go out for a walk, saying the doctor told her to keep moving. Jasmine suggests she just go up and down the stairs. Willow says she’s tired of being Jasmine’s excuse to stay off work and heads out. She meets up with Mason at the gym and Mason tells her about Robbo’s bad mood. Robbo comes out of the office and says he doesn’t pay them to stick around looking pretty. Willow lightly suggests it’s good advertising for the gym, then tries to get him to go see Jasmine, saying she hasn’t left the house in a week because she’s scared of bumping into him or Tori. Robbo says if Willow wants to keep her job she should go home until she’s better. After he’s gone, Willow mentions to Mason that Robbo and Jasmine broke up. Mason is shocked and asks what happened.

Shortly after, at Salt, Tori confirms to Mason that she’s pregnant and she used the embryo without Robbo’s permission. She says she was legally entitled to but admits the ethics are a bit murkier. She also admits to getting Jasmine to lie. She says she thought Robbo would see it as a good thing. Mason tells her about him breaking off the engagement. Back at the cove, Martha says she’s lost all track of time but it must be about morning tea, and Alf’s lucky being able to go out there all the time. Alf says he doesn’t go that often, since he’s got no-one to go with. Martha suggests he could take Ryder and Alf says he’d scare the fish away. He notes Martha was always his lucky charm, which Martha takes as evidence that he does remember going there with her. She declines to show him her sketch.

Tori arrives at the beach house and is met by Willow, who says Jasmine’s gone out for a walk. She says she’s tried to stay out of it but she doesn’t think Tori seeing Jasmine is a good idea, since Jasmine’s been crying her eyes out for days because of her. Tori knows Willow spoke to Mason. Willow tells Tori to back off and Tori leaves. Meanwhile, Jasmine is walking by the road. As she heads down a beach path, she runs into Robbo coming the other way. She apologises, saying she went there because she thought he’d be down the other end of the beach. She goes to leave but Robbo tells her to wait.

Alf notes that the fish aren’t biting and goes to get some sandwiches. Martha notices a tug on the fishing line and calls out to Alf, who tells her to grab the rod. He comes over and helps her reel it in a bit, eventually catching the fish in a net. At the Diner, Leah finds Mason and Marilyn researching complimentary therapies for Raffy on the laptop. Mason has told Marilyn about the medicinal cannabis suggestion, explaining to Leah how it can be used to control seizures. Leah comments on Tori not being keen on it. Mason says some people take time to get used to new ideas.

Robbo and Jasmine walk together. Jasmine reminds Robbo he lied about being in the room when Tori had the first embryo implanted and she forgave him. Robbo says they made a promise after that to be honest. Jasmine says she knows she’s lost his trust but asks what she needs to do to make it up to him. Meanwhile, relaxing in the boat, Martha asks Alf when she’ll get her next invitation, saying he wouldn’t have caught anything without her. Alf awkwardly says it depends on the weather and the fishing report. He suggests they head back; Martha still refuses to show him her sketch until she’s finished.

At the Diner, Marilyn and Leah comment on how long Alf and Martha have been out. Marilyn fantasises of them sailing away together but Leah says she needs Alf to come home with the dinner. Tori comes in and tells them about Robbo and Jasmine breaking up: She hasn’t been able to find Robbo at the gym or the flat. Leah has to head home. Soon after she gets there, Alf and Martha arrive with the fish. Martha claims she caught it and Alf says he’s given up arguing. Martha heads back to her caravan. Leah notes she seems to have fitted in well.

Jasmine arrives home. Willow starts to greet her, then says she looks awful. Jasmine explains she ran into Robbo. She says he listened to her but he can’t forgive her. Meanwhile, back at the Diner, Mason tells Marilyn he’s found a medicinal cannabis trial. He’s going to e-mail the organisers and see if Raffy’s eligible.

Robbo arrives home to find Tori waiting for him, having been let in by Colby. She tries to get him to talk to Jasmine but he refuses. She then reminds him he’s going to be a dad but Robbo reminds her that he said he couldn’t cope with it: Getting past twelve weeks won’t stop their child being in danger. He says if she wants to make all the decisions, she can, because she’s on her own. He tells her to get out, slamming the door after her.
