Misty: Her twin brother died two months ago. They went to the Bankstown Hotel for one of their old primary school friend’s 18th birthday. Tiago and two of his best mates decided to wait for a bus to take them back to Summer Bay when five racist teens beat them. Tiago was beaten so severely that he died in Lidcombe Hospital early the next morning.
Freya: And the saddest part of the story? Their friend is Vicki’s cousin.
Phillip: Bloody hell!

Josh: Oh…
Freya: What do you want to do tonight?
Josh: Misty and I were going to see Lee.
Phillip: Who?
Misty: A friend of ours.

*Vicki turns the TV off before going over to Avril*
Vicki: What seems to be the problem?
Avril: Vicki, I want to find my biological parents.
Vicki: What are you talking about?
Avril: I found out from my s**t of a mother that I was adopted.
Vicki: You’re joking.
*Avril shakes her head*
Avril: No joke. It’s legit. Now, I want to find out where my biological parents are.
Vicki: Did your adoptive parents give you the names to your real parents?
Avril: No. Typical jerks!
