Episode 7182

Extended Summary

Robbo slowly comes to in the boat, realising where he is and that a set of oars have been left. Back at the motel, Jasmine is surprised by a visit from Scott, who she thought was with Tori at the safe house. Scott explains Lance is with her and asks about Robbo. Jasmine says he isn’t back yet. In the boat, Robbo manages to knock a metal pole with a sharp edge towards him and sever his bonds. He sits up and starts rowing but is clearly in some pain.

Leah joins Justin in his room. Justin apologises for what he said, saying the anger wasn’t directed at her. Leah says he can’t lash out at people. She thinks there are other options, but Justin insists that despite what works for other teenagers, this is the only thing that works for Raffy. He is shocked when Leah tells him she’s not going to stand by him if he does something illegal. Back at the Diner flat, Colby tells Roo that Bella went out with Willow a few times but has otherwise stayed in the flat and is still having nightmares. Roo thinks Bella needs to go back to school but Colby doesn’t want to push it. Bella comes through and says she’s still keeping up with schoolwork but Roo says there’s more to school than that. Bella thinks that if she does go back to school then everyone will be talking about her, despite Roo arguing that most of them don’t know.

When Scott’s phone rings, Jasmine grabs it and tries to talk to Lance but Scott takes it off her and exchanges a few brief words. Jasmine demands to know what’s going on, saying if Scott doesn’t tell her she’s going to scream until people come. Scott admits Robbo went to meet the people alone. Meanwhile, Robbo is still rowing but his injuries are stopping him: He nearly chokes, feels dizzy and finally passes out.

At the Diner, Roo relates her conversation with Bella to Irene. She doesn’t think anyone’s talking about Bella but Irene says all that matters is that Bella thinks they are. Leah wonders if she’s ready for counselling. Irene notes she’s only just been to her first support group and, while she didn’t say much, it helped to listen. Up in the flat, Bella gets a drink and turns down Colby’s offer of a cheese toastie. Colby tries to get her to come to the surf club with him but Bella says she needs to do the reading for her English assignment. She disappears into her room. Irene arrives and Colby tells her about Bella not wanting to leave the apartment. Irene gives him a leaflet for the support group. Colby tries to give it back, thinking Bella’s not ready, but Irene suggests he let Bella make that call.

Back at the Diner, Justin has turned up to make peace with Leah but it soon becomes clear that neither of them have changed their stance. Irene arrives in time to send them outside. On the wharf, Leah tells Justin she’s on his side but reminds him how it hurt his family when Mason nearly went to jail. She says they need to make it so people like Raffy have safe access to medicinal cannabis, through lobbying politicians and social media. Warming to the idea, Justin suggests an online petition.

Colby and Bella walk on the beach. Bella refuses to talk about returning to school and wants to go back to the flat. Colby shows her the leaflet Irene left. Bella says what happened to her is nothing like what Irene went through but Colby says that’s not the point. At the Morgan house, Leah tells Justin that she’s spoken to Mason, who is on board and is going to talk to Raffy about telling her story. Justin agrees they should drop it if Raffy doesn’t want to take part and thanks Leah for helping.

Scott tells Jasmine about the tracker being found dumped. He is convinced Robbo can handle himself. Jasmine says if he can’t then criminals are the last thing Scott and Lance should worry about. Robbo continues to drift unconscious but is found by Alf, who tries to shake him awake. Alf takes Robbo back to Blackfriar’s Wharf. He thinks Robbo should go to hospital but Robbo tells him to forget he saw him. Robbo goes back to his ute and retrieves the keys. He finds a note in the car saying “Tick tock, time’s running out” with a phone number.

At the Diner, Irene and Roo chat about Alf’s absence on a fishing trip and the situation with Bella. Alf arrives and claims he didn’t catch anything because he had engine trouble. Irene heads up to the flat to collect Bella; she is driving her to the support group. Bella still isn’t sure what happened to her is enough but Irene says everyone’s story is different. They joke about Colby having to find something to do with himself. Colby heads to Salt and sits at the bar on his own.

Robbo arrives back at the motel. He hears Jasmine and Scott arguing and bursts into the room, thinking she’s in danger. He is quickly calmed…but then collapses. Jasmine rushes to help him.
