Well, Hugo got off in the end, he’s gone to the big people-smuggling depot in the sky.  He was a crap villain anyway.

Angelo survived getting shot in the head, he’s just like that fella, Kurt Cobain.  How did he survive that?*

I do believe Martha said at one point, “I don’t know what’s going on”, which I thought was default mode for her.  She forgave Angelo for shooting Jack anyway.

Bungbung/Bangbang/Bumbum has gone back to his dad now that he has learned English and how to play the guitar.  Those guys are going to go far.  Martha looked pretty sad.  After all, she just lost a farm slave.

So, that’s the end of the mystery.  It was a long time coming and was quite good in the end.  I don’t really think it’s CHANGED SUMMER BAY FOREVER though.

*See Father Ted

It turns out that Hugo can speak Indonesian after all, and that’s not all he was hiding.  He was involved in the people smuggling ring as Angelo suspected.  He took his boat out to sea and tried to make Charlie swim over to an island, because she can connect him with the people smuggling.  Maybe he saw her energetic dancing and thinks she’d be well able to do a marathon swim. She pulled a sly one on him and got his gun but now Suzy is on the warpath and they’re all in trouble.

Poor old Constable Risotto got shot in the head for his troubles by diving in front of Martha and saving her from a bullet.  Don’t know why he bothered.  It’s not like a bullet to the head could have done any brain damage to her, sure nobody would know the difference.

No expenses were spared in todays episode.  They had aerial shots of the city and the bay. This is bound to be a ratings winner.  Sure it’s high drama all round.

Is this the longest storyline ever in Home and Away history?  This “mystery” seems like it’s been dragging on for years.

Who killed Lou?

Is his wife a regular at the bottelo?

Was Hugo bitten by a shark?

Did Hugo bite back?

Did Hugo smuggle Indonesians inside the shark?

Why is Angelo obsessed with Hugo?

What is the correct pronunciation of bangbang/bumbung/bungbung?

Does anybody know his real name?

But most of all, when will this all be over?

Miles Copeland hasn’t had it easy since he moved to Summer Bay.  As a down-and-out, he slept on the beach and wrote cryptic messages in the sand in the hopes that his sister would find him.  Naturally, he went from living hand-to-mouth to becoming a teacher at the only school in town, and won the heart of Kirsty Sutherland.  Unfortunately she turned out to be a total wagon.

These days Miles spends his time getting bashed and threatening children.  It looks like Riley’s dad is behind it all.  I hope the YCPD can crack this case.  If not maybe they should bring Robert Robertson back.  Maybe they should just do that anyway.

So, the teenage(-ish) couples of Summer Bay are all talking about sex.  Ruby and Geoff decided they’ll have a go, while in a startling move, Nicole is standing her ground with Liam and refusing him access.  Is that because she’s changed her tune, or because she has her wee eye on Aden?  Ooooh, mucho mysterioso.

Now, where are Martha and Hugo and Suzy and Bungbung?
