John lost the school bus contract when Harvey saw him kicking Jaden (a random hoon) off the bus. Somehow the council got wind of it. Palmer vowed to take Harvey down. Ooh. Can’t Gina and Roo sort this out?
That lawyer wan that Brax slept with is representing Heath in his custody battle. Brax was very unimpressed, and brought her for a spin in his Ute, then for a threatening walk along some cliffs. He’s lost his River Touch.
Leah went on a blind date with craig from Yabbie Creek. It was a disaster. He bored her and he was unimpressed with her drinking. Leah thought it was hilarious when he walked out and left her there on her own in the restaurant. She ordered a bottle of champagne and got locked. Then she sat at the bar and chatted up one of the boys. Brax came in and saved her but she was expecting a goodnight pash when he dropped her home. He managed to resist her drunken advances on the couch. She should have pulled the puke on him move she used on Roman years ago, that’s a sure fire winner every time.
Lottie has a thing for Dex. She told him she likes guys with muscles and a sense of humour, so he’s halfway there. She told Roo that he needs to get over his ex, April, first. I think Dex will kiss Lottie just as April is about to tell him how she feels.
Sid and the new doctor, Melissa had a bit of a flirt at the dinner. Sid seems to have moved on from Roo so maybe that could go places.
John and Harvey are still engaged in their council politics power struggle. Don’t know about the rest of you but I find this storyline pretty boring.
Haha Dex loves April and sees her as some kind of hair-tossing goddess. He was eyeing her up at Sasha’s 16th birthday party. Aww cute.
Sasha thought, now that she’s 16, she could take off to the Citee, and become a hairdresser, with Felix in tow. Sid put her straight. So she snuck out after dark.
Romeo and Indi are boring and possibly breaking up.
Brax’s intimidation of Steve got Ruby off the drug charge. So Morag’s off. I would like a Morag and Brax spin-off crimefighting show – “she’s above the law, he’s below it, together they are…”.
Good woman Ruby, she managed to concoct a reason for Morag to stay in town. Ms. Buckton was used as a drug mule by her good friend Steve. Steve is such a good mate that he told the cops Ruby was dealing on the surfing circuit. Sound man Steve.
Romeo told Brax, who was instantly hot on Steve’s tail. I foresee some bashing.
Harvey is getting to know his ex and daughter again. Following some heavy-handed hinting from Marilyn, he told an unimpressed Roo. Harvey is a simpleton.
Harvey’s daughter is sarky and annoying. Just like Harvey, then.
Indi told Romeo off because he chose Ruby over surfing. Then Romeo saw a text from Logan on Indi’s phone. Good. I hope that puts manners on him.
In grand oul Summer Bay tradition, Elijah tells Leah he’s leaving, on his leaving day. Like so many before him, (Geoff, Annie, and so on) the Rev is only dying to get out of town. He’s going to Another Parish. He had a hooley on the beach before he left, and cleared up any stray plotlines while he was at it. See ya later, Rev.
Leah told Brax a barefaced lie when she said she wasn’t interested in him. The truth will come out in the wash.
Liam went MENTILE at Eddie and smashed his guitar. All because Eddie nicked Liam’s lyrics. Fair enough, I thought. The bauld Eddie is denying all culpability, however. What’s that about? What is he playing at? Is he someone’s long-lost relative or something?
April caught Casey and Henri having a secret after-hours pash in Angelo’s. Knowing her capacity for keeping secrets, the whole Bay will know before long.
Sasha the Bashed Basha is going on trial “tomorrow”. This will be good. I hope Morag features heavily.
Brax spent most of the episode putting out fires. First he had the issue of fighting among his staff. Liam and Heath engaged in fisticuffs twice in the space of a few minutes. Heath keeps goading Liam about Bianca and the baby and Liam keeps rising to the bait. Brax had a chat with his misguided bro and tried to get him to cop on but I doubt it will do much good. I can’t see how the two of them can continue to work in the same restaurant which will be a problem for Liam, there aren’t many other employers in the Bay for a man his age. Police/Healthcare worker are about all that’s left considering that he’s already been fired from a school teacher’s job.
Brax’s next problem was dealing with Leah. Once Elijah told him that Leah was in love with him, Brax went cold on them spending time together. He let her know about it too, telling her that there couldn’t be any more calling around or cooking dinner. Leah is going to freak out when she finds out it was Elijah who spilled the beans.
VJ was the final problem for Brax. At first, he decided that an embargo was the best solution which meant an end to fixing the bike. Veej didn’t take the news very well and went on the rampage, knocking over bins and skulling cans with the boys on the beach. Brax relented and said they could rekindle their bike building but it’ll be difficult until the Leah matter is resolved. Meanwhile poor VJ is stuck in the middle. I hope he doesn’t get anymore bad news, he’s likely to take over the river boys and go on a crime spree Johnny Cooper would be proud of.
I think that Brax got an Irish tattoo. He was driven to it when Veeeej asked “you loved Charlie, didn’t you?”. Perhaps the bauld River Boy was afraid he was forgetting his lady love, and got the tattoo to remind him.
Elijah, like a dickhead, called around to Brax’s, to tell him Leah is in love with him. Sly one, Rev.
In other couple-y news, Gina is taking the opportunity to lay down some ground rules with John, and Roo is trying to be more romantic with Harvey. Yay and puke, respectively.
Do you think we should call Harvey and Roo, Hoo, or Rarvey?
Marilyn and Roo staged an intervention for John. He’s too slovenly for their tastes. He said Gina didn’t have a problem with it and threw out the dinner he’d prepared. Wasteful. Later, he overhead Roo telling Dumb Harvey that Gina was actually sick of John’s habits. Poor Mr. JP.
Veej is trying to join the River Boys. The younger members made him carry out some stupid pranks, until Brax, newly released from hospital, caught him and put a stop to it. Veej was arrested for vandalising a police car. Sergeant Watson put manners on him.
Casey hung around Henri’s back garden while she entertained a tipsy Gina. Henri could do with buying some thick curtains, if she’s to continue sleeping with a student.
I don’t know why we’re running that poll to the right, because April has just revealed herself to be the Bay’s biggest dickhead. Hurray! She told Heath that Bianca’s baby is his, proving that she can keep a secret for a maximum of two days. Sure when the baby was born, it would have had a grenade tattoo and then everyone would know anyway.
Darcy made an appearance in that episode, serving her purpose as proof of Heath’s dad skillz.
Not to immediately go back on my word, but maybe April’s not the biggest dickhead in the Bay – Roo and Harvey did firm up their relationship and two dickheads are worse than one.
Leah is still in the running as well, having enveloped Brax in her warm embrace and causing him, in his brain-damaged state, to bolt from her house. Brax is scared of GhostCharlie and doesn’t want to return to the hospital. Doesn’t he know that ghosts are everywhere in Summer Bay, even in fridges?
Maybe we’ll leave this one to the poll after all. Make sure to have your say!
There were a lot of dickheads in tonight’s episode. Let us discuss:
At least we have John Palmer.
