What happened today?

• Heath met Jess
• Bianca saw them and got the hump
• Irene told her to cop on
• Heath tried to sort it out with Bianca
• She made him choose between her and the baby
• Jess went into labour
• Matt kissed Sash
• Matt told Spencer
• Spencer punched Matt
• Sasha apologised to Spencer
• He is sick of her drama and dumped her
• Jett blackmailed Sasha to get on the council
• Jett is using the student council to commemorate Gina

I’d say Sasha and Matt will be doing a line before long.

Poor Hannah, she’s caught between two men, and they are both eejits. Zac is zero craic whatsoever, and Andy is thick as a brick. Surely there are a few doctors in the hospital she could flirt with? Or maybe she could shack up with Doctor Nate when Ricky goes back to Brax, as she surely will.

Andy found out Brax didn’t kill his da JOHNNY BARRETT after all, but decided it was easier to just keep blaming him, rather than change his view of the whole affair.

Ricky still hasn’t told Brax about the baybee. This must be the longest-kept secret in the Bay ever. So many people know.

Sasha was helping Matt with a school speech, and they kissed. Matt is another one who looks way too old for school.

Jess is still hanging around and this is causing problems for Heath and Bianca. She wants him to be an active parent but that’s more than he can offer. He asked Jess to leave town so that he can get things back on track with his wife. He met her on the pier to tell her but she got a baby kick and duped him into feeling it. Bianca spied all of this and wasn’t impressed, she’s off to the city for a few days as a result.

Chris is feeling a lot more positive about his situation after a talk with Irene. He tried to invent a new burger for the Diner menu which Irene shot down but she is going to try to set him up with somebody, maybe Tamara. She’s roped Leah into her cupid caper. Irene got Chris to have lunch with Tamara in the diner, by telling him that she was into him. It backfired spectacularly as she hates Chris.

Kyle is struggling to come to terms with Phoebe’s ultimatum – to hell or to Melbourne. He told her that he can’t leave the bay due to his commitments and they are many. What would the town do without its local restaurant manager, part-time busker and kidnapping consultant? Maybe his bro can fill the gap as who walked into Angelo’s only its owner, Daryl “Brax” Braxton. He knocked back a shot and we all know that says he means business. The Bay had better watch out, the boss is back.

The grown-ups in Summer Bay are fierce down with the social media lingo, they were throwing the acronyms around like there was no tomorrow. Not only that, but John and Marilyn confirmed their relationship on Facebook.

They also did this:

In other news, Chris misses Indi and Kyle and Phoebe are in l.o.v.e.

Phoebe is putting pressure on Kyle, trying to get him to lessen his involvement with The Boyz. She’d never have lasted in the good oul’ days, when they were dealing and bashing daily. He is hiding his weirdo past, but she’s threatening to leave unless he ‘fesses up.

Irene’s date didn’t show up because of transportation issues. NEXT!

Case and Rick went to the clink to visit Adam and ask him to help Brax’s case. Adam was reticient; it means he’ll get more time in jail. I have to admit, I thought we’d never see him again.

Bit mad that Ricky still hasn’t told Brax about the baybee.

The twins have decided that Denny is going to stay in the farm, Evelyn is going to share her room. Hannah and Zac are a bit surprised, they got ambushed by the kids. Hannah still wants a romantic relationship with Zac but he’s being evasive so she headed off for a bit of alone time on the beach. While there she ran into Dr Accent and Andy, which was a good opportunity for flirting. Denny has spotted that Zac and Evelyn are involved but he told her it’s complicated, meanwhile Hannah and Andy were on the lock in Angelo’s. They had a laugh but no next level for Andy yet. Zac was jealous when she came in late. When will those two cop on and get it on?

Heath got Jess to agree to meet Bianca. Miss Scott is still getting her head around the situation so she asked Heath to leave them alone together, she wanted to figure out Jess’s motivation. She doesn’t want money, just for Heath to be involved in the baby’s life. Bianca is devastated to hear that Heath told her about Rocco’s death when they slept together. She asked him to leave the bedsit so he went into Casey for a chat.

Casey is on Adam’s trail, trying to get him to testify. Ricky wants to help him, but can’t face seeing her bro again. Nate left her to make up her mind, he thinks she’s still into Brax. Casey faced him down on the inside and Adam wants something from Casey. In exchange for testifying for Brax, Adam wants Casey to go and find Jamie, he drives a hard bargain but as he tried to turn the screw Ricky turned up and said that this time, he’d have to play by her rules.

So Heath’s buck’s night barmaid is up the duff, and Bianca is none too impressed. That’ll pass though. Our money’s on a Braxton adoption.

Sasha bowed out of the captaincy race at the last minute, and non-candidate Matt won the male contest. Perhaps he and Tamara could become an item. It has been commented that he is an Aden-type character, so he’ll probably come good in no time.

There was some amazing line-crossing between Marilyn and John, in which she thought he was going to propose, when really he was trying to source a beau for Irene. Ah bless.

Casey and Ricky are off to visit Adam, and plead him to help Brax’s case. Caution advised.

Harvey said a very long goodbye to the Bay today. They all got over it and let him leave, even Spencer who was having a hard time adjusting to his impending departure. As a consequence, Maddy was spending a lot of time with Spencer, causing Josh to go green with jealousy. He gave her an ultimatum but she opted to stick with Spencer et al, so that’s it, they’re done.

Chris is going to try and become a matchmaker for Irene. He wants Johnny boy Palmer to help him, but John is reluctant. I’m inclined to agree with John, arranged dates don’t usually end well in the Bay.

Sasha and Tamara are at loggerheads over the school captaincy. Tamara is counting on the Mangrove River vote but Andy told her that she’s barking up the wrong tree there, those students won’t bother voting. Tamara made friends with Phoebe over a beer in Angelo’s, then had a go at Sasha who was there for dinner. Tamara may have the superior policies but Sasha has the advantage of promising free ice cream, that could clinch her the election.

John was simultaneously accommodating Harvey and avoiding Roo’s questions; until she barged up to his house and told her husband to leave the Bay and leave everyone in peace. Good advice.

Sasha’s run for school captain got off to a bad start; Matt and the other students drowned out her speech by chanting Tamara’s name instead. Not since the days of Kirsty and Jade have students been so passionate about school politics.

Denny was about to leave the Bay when Evelyn demanded a tete-a-tete. They’ll be devoted sisters before you can say “strike me flamin’ handsome”.

Plus, they’re off to get Brax – yessss.
