Hahaha did yis see Roo frolicking down the beach in her red tent/dress? What a pity it was Harvey waiting for her on the beach. Why doesn’t he go on a long, long charter and leave everyone in peace?

Mr. JP was struck off the council, and wants to spend his life savings on the development. Gina rightfully made a disapproving face. Harvey reckons he can win John’s old seat.

Charlie and Brax are living it up, going to the beach during the day, etc. How is Charlie paying rent if she’s not working?

Miles found out Leah is back in town. He confronted her about her lies. He should have confronted her about being a moany oul bag while he was at it. Future babies seems to be the crux of the issue, and neither of them are backing down.

Harvey is continuing to spread rumours about John Palmer and his corrupt ways. Roo got involved and asked him to stop, to no avail. Rumours tend to get believed in small towns like the bay so John’s in strife with the council now, they want him to resign. Harvey needs stopping asap.

Miles is heading for a fall. He seems to think himself and Leah are headed for a reconciliation but Leah has other ideas and lied to him on the phone. To top it all, Colleen told him that he was looking a bit fat. I’m surprised how thin he is considering he stuffs his face in most scenes.

Sash is in hospital with her infection. Stu had a showdown with Sid, who got a taste of his anger. The doc won’t let him anywhere near Sasha now. But he got the impression that Stu convinced her to get the tattoo, which isn’t true and she didn’t set her Dad straight, future conflict alert. Xavier seems happy enough to hang around the hospital, waiting for her condition to improve. Isn’t he a bit old for Sasha, she’s only 15.

Mink is hanging around like a bad smell. Somehow she thinks there is loads of money in the Bank of Romeo. Indi even offered to give her her day spa voucher, and she threw it on the ground. Inconsiderate cahhhhh. Romeo later said he’d have money for her by the end of the week. But Mink isn’t allowed to tell Indi. Bad move Romeo.

Sid met new Doctor Kerrie at Irene’s and asked her out for lunch. Irene found out Roo still has eyes for the doc and got into a terrible fluster. She told Sid, who wasn’t impressed with Kerrie’s lack of opinions anyway.

Stu made friends with Sid and got Sasha’s grounding lifted. Sasha reluctantly went to the beach with The Basher. Later Xavier found her moaning on a bench, and took her to hospital. I call infected tattoo. Xave must have enjoyed that, normally he’s the patient.

Liam is staying with Bianca in Irene’s house to recover from his jam stains. Where did Liam live before this, in a caravan? How much room is there in Irene’s house? Loads by the looks of it.

Bianca and April are having sisterly tiffs over their respective love lives. Usually it’s April who has more sense but Bianca looks smarter this time, moving on from Heath to Liam. April is displaying a lot of interest in Heath, an unhealthy amount. She must be very hot, she came home at night after a day out still wearing her bikini. Xavier set her up by tricking her into going to the pizzaria where Dex was waiting. April believed him that he didn’t do Dallas but still broke up with him over his boorish bragging.

Xavier seemed happy to see Mink and vice versa. She’s not back five minutes and is already causing trouble. She scabbed a free lunch from Indi and borrowed money from Romeo. Indi is wise to her scams but Romeo is too trusting. She wants to borrow money as she’s in a bit of strife but where is Romeo going to get two thousand dollars? He’s making a fortune teaching the schoolies to surf but that won’t go on forever. Indi wants him to think of the future but he can’t see past tomorrow, poor boy.

Was what Dex was saying, well almost. It was more the reaction he got in the diner that he liked rather than the actual kiss itself.  Needless to say, April didn’t like it.  It’ll take some time for things to get back to normal with them, if ever.

Harvey is blackmailing John Palmer over receiving gifts as a councillor. He said he’d drop it if Roo got back with him. What is it with ex boyfriends trying to blackmail their ex girlfriends recently between him and Stu?

Indi started her internship which involved buying coffee for Dennis and posing in her bikini. She’s clearly headed for the top of the business world. Romeo was none too pleased when he found out and tried to lay down the law, expecting her to be the obedient wife but she was having none of it. Not really turning out to be wedded bliss for the newlyweds.

Mink is back, great news. She was a right royal pain in the hole the first time round, doubt anything’s changed there.

Ruby was having yet another bad hair day.  What the hell Roobs?

Phew, Xavier got the V8 back from Stew. Sasha agreed to keep seeing him. Bad move, Sash, I’d start wearing a helmet if I were you.

April and Dex made a sexy plan but April had to stay home to look after Irene. Dex went to the party in the Surf Club anyway, where Xavier was dressed up as an extra from The Sound of Music. He was trying to lure a lady nicknamed The Virgin Slayer, who prefers the more experienced gentleman. However, she was more interested in Dex, and laid a smacker on him, just as April joined the party. Le sigh.

Xavier is heading off on a European tour thanks to generous John deciding that he’s willing to sell the V8.  So all Xavier needs to do is find a buyer for the car. Xav revealed that his target market is a “toolie”. What’s that you might ask, well I’m afraid I can’t tell you.  I listened back to Xavier’s definition of a toolie three times but still couldn’t understand what he said.

Sasha finally got sense and dumped Stew. While she did like him she got sick of his psycho behaviour. Her relationship motto seems to be “less bash, more pash”. Stew, being the local mentalist, didn’t take too well to his new found single status and claimed that he would hurt himself if she dumped him. He promptly jumped into the V8, which Xavier had left with keys in it, and drove off in a rage.  That won’t end well.

Brax has left the River Boys apparently. Heath offered him the chance to sell drugs to the schoolies but he was having none of it as he’s on the straight and narrow now.  Charlie was impressed with him leaving his gang behind and took him back, yet again. Charlie says she wants to head to the city with Ruby, maybe Brax will go with them?  Charlie and Brax could set up a a business doing consultancy work for criminals, helping them to pervert the course of justice.

So Brax and Charlie are over, but not before frolicking in the golden surf, and standing around in a towel. Charlie even showed some emotion when she ended it, her lip fairly trembled. She’s off the hook for interfering with evidence, as Brax stashed it at some dealer’s house. Watson wanted to go on the rip when she found out. I would go for a session with Watson, she is sound.

Bianca confessed to Liam about sleeping with Heath. He said it was ok as it was in the past. That is ridiculously forgiving. Maybe he was distracted by the rasher someone spray-painted red and glued to his face. So Bianca and Liam are back on.

Leah and Miles went looking for Veej. Miles didn’t seem to fill the car with food, as I would have expected for any trip longer than a half hour. Anyway, they had a big heart-to-heart, Leah did some apologising, and Miles still carries a torch for the Greek goddess. She accused him of not feeling grief due to his antidepressants, and he went BANANAS. Also they discussed Nana Mousourki, which I was very amused by.

I’m surprised to see that nobody bothered cleaning Liam’s face while he was in a coma, it’s still covered in red crap, maybe some old jam?  Bianca doesn’t seem to have noticed despite spending all day every day by his bedside.

April reckons her sister’s rediscovered her love for Liam, is it guilt or something more? April was unimpressed when she found out Bianca slept with Heath yet again. Maybe she’ll move in there now Bianca has moved on.

When Heath called over later, Bianca gave him the heave-ho, “don’t come around here no more”, she said. Heath decided to get his own back by getting locked and sleeping rough on the beach. That’ll show her.

Leah told Charlie that VJ had run away, her response, “that isn’t good”. Brilliant. She’s a genius. There’s a manhunt for Veej underway. He phoned Miles to say he can look after himself. Maybe he’ll head to the bush and be the new Crocodile Dundee.

Constable Watson suspects that Charlie is back on the Brax. Who’ll win that battle of wits?  Watson is wiley and Charlie is pretty dim, I expect the cop to cop-on to the ex-cop’s cock-up.
