Ruby got a bit of a wake up call with her sweaty coma. She accepted Roo’s proposal to move out of the van and into the house, lowering its average age by about half. I’m hoping she gets her head sorted now.

April got pissed off when Heath cancelled a date on her. She was all dressed up in a fancy new black dress but didn’t have anywhere to go with it. Heath was off at Brax’s bashing contest even though he told April he had to work. Dex was there with Sid and made up with April, they’re all friends now.

Brax’s fight wasn’t quite Rocky IV. There was lots of talking between the belligerents, lots of crap punches and slaps. Regardless, the crowd were loving it. Brax had Heath and Elijah in his corner and Henri in the audience. The rev told Brax to tap out as he was fighting somebody from a heavier weight division, but Brax didn’t care, the man’s got a death wish. Then Leah turned up to tell Brax to quit it, and he subsequently got battered. I can see the headline in tomorrow’s coastal news – “Bruised beach bum Brax brutally bashed by bigger boy”.

Ah, that Ruby one has no sense. She had a falling out with Dex, and managed to drink herself into a sweaty coma. Hope she’s discovered before Flying Doctor Sid jets off.

Tyler the simpleton sold Mr. JP’s car. Now he and Casey have to try and get it back. Hassle.

John still hasn’t told Gina about his large and foolish investment. Dead man.

So Roo has decided to join Harvey’s drive to give Summer Bay some daycent parkland. More fool her. John isn’t too impressed, especially since he put 400k into the development, not 100k as previously thought. Gina will have his guts for garters.

To add insult to injury, Casey’s klepto mate robbed John’s car. I bet Klepto was Casey’s prison-husband.

Ruby’s back on the sauce, but Dex is keeping an eye on her. She managed to seduce him with some kind of ape dance. Guess he and April really are over. *sob*

Irene got DVT from sitting on the couch for 3 days. She should have known the SummerBayTimeWarp works on illness too. Colleen came up with some hilarious acronyms for it: IUD, DVD, etc.

Doctor Sid wants to become Flying Doctor Sid. He probably used to watch it on telly, after A Country Practice.

Stu the Sasha Basha is dead. He hasn’t been seen since trying to get Sasha into his car. Shortly afterwards, she came home crying. Curious…

Of course angry doc Sid Walker is a suspect, having done some pre-death bashing of Stewart. Imagine if Rhys came back, and he and Sid formed an Angry Dads Alliance. The River Boys would be shaking in their boots.

Development Denis is in trouble as he moved Stu’s body from the resort to the caravan park. What an amazingly stupid (and sly) thing to do.

The paparazzi, sorry, I mean ONE paparazzo, is after Liam and Bianca. That’s pretty odd as Liam has been off the celebrity circuit for ages. Bianca is worried how this will affect the wedding, which, in true SB-time-warp-style, is tomorrow.

Ruby moved out of Leah’s and into the caravan park. How does she have any money? Maybe she’s getting Charlie’s pension. So far as I can see, she doesn’t work, she doesn’t go to college and she doesn’t go to school. She’ll need a career plan shortly.

Dex babysat for Dallas and nearly killed the young fella, who has a nut allergy. Doctor Sid sorted him out. Dallas was raging at first, but eventually copped that it wasn’t Dexter’s fault.

The election took place, and very surprisingly, Harvey won. No doubt he’ll be even more annoying now.

There’s a new teach in town, to go with the new school. Turns out she’s an old flame of Heath’s and was quite the wild child in her schooldays. Henri (for that is her name) has already bonded with Bianca and hooned with Heath. April is not impressed. She engineered a study session around at the Braxeses, and showed up with the girls noticeably on show. Unfortunately Henri showed up before Heath was seduced.

Brax spent most of that episode drinking. Leah gave him a talking-to and basically said WWCD (what would Charlie do). She also moved a bottle of whiskey to the other end of the table, making it slightly more difficult for Brax to get battered. Good move. Brax came to his senses, invited Geoffrey over, did some panting, and told the gangsta he’d have to shoot him to get his hands on Angelo’s. And gave him a gun. Not such a good move.

Weirdly, Sasha got her da to tell Gina to tell Xavier to keep away. Something’s not right there. Also, Sasha is permanently wearing gloves.

What happened there? The short answer is not very much. Here are the bullet points:

• Sid is struggling to cope with the fact that Dex doesn’t know what to do with his life and doesn’t want to follow in his footsteps but wants to be a nurse instead.
• Irene collapsed in the hospital. She’s still feeling crook but it was only indigestion this time.
• Xav admitted to Gina that he has the hots for Sash. He went for a pash on the beech but was knocked back. She promptly told him to keep his distance as she’s toxic.
• Romeo hates his job working for Denis but is afraid to tell Indi. Turns out he’s decent at it despite himself and sold 5 apartments.
• Harvey is causing havoc with the development and will do his best to block it if elected.

Hopefully tomorrow will be more interesting.

The future of the Bay is in good hands; Officer Xavier will keep its streets clean. Xave is so hot-headed that criminals will cower in fear. He went mental when he heard Stu had yet again taken up his mantle as Sasha Basha.

The health of the Bay is in question, though; soon the Walker family could be doctorless. Sid is up on charges, and Dex wants to be an engineer.

I was happy to see Romeo in a suit. He’s no natural salesman, though, trying to close the deal by using his surfie skills.

Elijah’s been kicked out of Leah’s Home for Ragamuffins now that Ruby is back. She didn’t visit a hairdresser in The City.

What do you do in small town Australia if you have a medical degree but no job? Hang around the diner in your track suit apparently. Then he went to the hospital and tried to take over Irene’s treatment. Maybe he should get a job as a pizza delivery boy for Angelo’s.

Irene has to take it handy now because of her heart problems. Do you think she’ll listen? I would imagine that she’ll be back in the diner in no time.

Heath and Dex had a bit of a face off in the surf club. That’s a fight I’d like to see but blink and you’d miss it. Dex had a bit of a heart to heart with April and told her that he hadn’t got it on with Dallas. There was hints of rapprochement there but then April met Heath on the beech and went back to his place for more sexiness. Then her conscience pricked her as she’d promised Bianca she’d stay away from him. Heath made do with his playstation, what age is he supposed to be?

So Brax and Casey went up the coast for a surf but where is Ruby gone? Did she go to the city on her own? She didn’t have any sort of going away do. Maybe she’s concentrating on her music career, recording a follow up single to “kisses hurt so much”.

Poor Sid. There was a hostage situation in the hospital, nudey pics of his daughter were flying around by text, Sasha confronted Stu, got threatened by his da, Sid threatened to end the da, Sid got fired and later dumped.

The only people who had a worse day were Ruby and Brax.

If Brax has a thing for cops, he could approach Watson. Just sayin’.
