Elijah’s mam is a right dose.  Now she’s telling Leah that Elijah wouldn’t be able for all marriage would throw at him.  Eh, he’s a MINISTER.  Doesn’t he listen to problems every day?  Oh, it’s a masterstroke.  No doubt Leah will think she’s right for five minutes, then rebel against her.

Hmm, not sure what to make of Alf and Marilyn going on a date.  Although, they would be a humorous couple.  Marilyn could get into scrapes and Alf could grumble about “that flamin’ woman”.

Marilyn does like an older man, too.  But it might be a bit weird seeing as Flathead and Alf are best buds.

What about Elijah’s ma?  She’s a proper wagon, and the da is totally henpecked.  Poor Leah.  Sure she’s skin and bone as it is.  Dunno how she managed to give birth to VJ at all.

Edit: I forgot to mention the Hugo storyline, maybe because it’s COMPLETELY BORING.  Anyway there’s a new cop in town, he killed the kidnapper with the weird accent, and now he’s after Hugo. Snoooooooooze.

Yay a Summer Bay wedding is impending!  I wonder what shenanigans will go down at Elijah and Leah’s nuptials?  They won’t be able to beat Sally and Flynn’s hospital ceremony!  Or Kim arriving at his on horseback.

So said Elijah to Leah while proposing.  By “always” does he mean “for two weeks”?

What a dramatic few days in Summer Bay.  Rabbit helped Miles rescue Leah, Elijah, and a rake of kids from being gassed on their school trip.  Somehow this meant that it was time for Rabbit to leave.  So she headed off with her ma down the beach.  Poor Miles was in bits over it.  There was no explanation of Rabbit’s psychic powers though.  I think we should put this in the Alf-as-aborigine box and accept we’ll never know the answer.

Nicole, being egged on by Justin, broke up with Aden as he wouldn’t say he loved her.  So he went off into the wide blue yonder with Justin.  No doubt he’ll join the army too.

Hugo’s back.  Martha decided everyone should know that he is in witness protection so she told Xavier and then went down the diner to tell everyone else.  She did it in the same room as Colleen; she must have the memory of a goldfish.  Anyway then Xavier told Ruby, and later met Hugo on a random road in the Bay.  Hugo was sporting some fine stubble and hiding under a hat.  The bad guys will never look there.

I flippin’ knew Ruby was going to ruin the play.  The little eejit.  Luckily Sir Liam of Murphy stepped in and saved the day.  Ruby did alright considering originally she proclaimed “I can’t sing”.  Might there be a singing career in the pipeline?

Miles was extra mad in that episode.  He wanted to keep a seat at the play for Rabbit (bet she didn’t pay though, it’s one of the perks of being imaginary), then he suddenly went home and banished her from the house.  Now he wants her to come back.  Ahhhhh.

Leah knows about the Milco madness now anyway.  She tried to get it out of Elijah by repeatedly saying his name, but Miles charged in and gave the game away himself.  Cue frowny face from Leah until this is sorted out.

Annie left.  Hurrah hurrah.  “When are you leaving”, said Romeo.  “Tomorrow morning”, said Annie.  Those Campbells don’t wait around.  Sure Geoff went off to “Africa” within a day of making his decision to leave.  Anyway Romeo is pretty cut up about it, but Annie doesn’t seem to care.  I bet she’s really into J-pop and that’s why she’s off.  She did get Romeo to tell her his real name though.  What do you think it is?

Annie and Romeo are now officially in love.  The oul light-a-few-candles-and-set-up-a-discoball trick worked.  They’re love’s young dream.

Ruby has a new love interest herself. Mega-rocker Liam Murphy is giving her singing lessons, and he’s fairly hands-on.  Of course he doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into, but he mightn’t mind too much.  We haven’t seen an illicit love affair in ages (Leah and Elijah doesn’t count).

Martha has recently remembered that Hugo is “dead” and her family are concerned for her state of mind.  Alf told Angelo he wanted to tell all, but Serge Risotto convined him to keep schtum.  Then the crafty copper went round to Martha’s with a pizza and the world’s strongest wine – the pair of them were locked after half a bottle.  Oops.  Meanwhile, Hugo hasn’t checked in with witness protection and is living in a dungeon somewhere with only Martha’s photo for company.  No good can come of this.

Ah here.  H&A is way too sad these days.  First was the whole Miles/Rabbit scenario, and now today Leah and VJ visited Vinnie’s grave to say goodbye.  That’s enough sadness now, I thought.

Elijah didn’t think so, though.  He threw in a tragic story about his dad dying on a fishing trip.  I’m not able for this.

Aden’s stupid brother had a flashback and now thinks he killed their da.  It looks to me like the dad was drink-driving and had a crash.  If only they hadn’t buried him, they’d be ok with the cops.

Romeo set up a romantic date with Annie in the gym.  Possibly inspired by Ruby’s seduction of Geoff using fairy lights, he lit a load of candles.  The Campbells are suckers for small light sources.

Wowee, did you hear Ruby and her amateur-psychology speak in that episode?  She nearly sounded like she knew what she was talking about.  She told Annie that Romeo needed to get in touch with his feminine side.

However, her follow-through wasn’t as good.  The resulting plan consisted of Romeo wearing a dress to school.  He looked well in it, all the same.

I was glad to see some good old-fashioned Home and Away humour there when Elijah discovered a face-masked Leah waxing her legs.  Who leaves it till an hour before a date to wax their legs anyway?

Elijah has finally revealed his secret, and it was a double-barrelled one.  Firstly, he told Miles that Vinnie didn’t die in prison.  This was news to Miles, but not to us.  Leah knew he was alive and in hiding from the Teddy bear incident.  But Elijah also revealed that Vinnie has died recently and the reverend was the last one to see him alive.  Shocking stuff.  How will Leah reacts when she finds out the truth? Go mental for five minutes and then get over it is my prediction.  Then she’ll make her move on him.  Maybe she’ll vomit on him like she did with Roman.  What a winner.
