Kat finds Ash coming out of the surf, clearly needing to clear his head after the shock of hearing his brother doesn’t have a death certificate. Whilst Ash is certain his brother is deceased, Kat isn’t so sure and asks for the police file on his death. Both are at the farm house when the police file comes through. Ash gets a call from an unknown number, but when he answers there’s no one’s there.
Back at the Summer Bay House, VJ manages to get Luc down, but as soon as he closes his eyes she’s screaming again. He is quickly unravelling. He tries to console her with some food. He’s already changed her nappy, and burped her but she won’t stop. At his wits end he pleads with her, getting more and more frustrated. Sleep deprived and desperate VJ yells at her to give him a break just as Alf walks in, shocked by his perceived aggression.
Tuesday 25th April
Kat tries to get Ash to talk about Patrick, but he’s too angry with his brother. Kat is going to look into Patrick in an official capacity. Ash isn’t impressed when Kat informs him the DA will probably go easy on Patrick because he was suffering major depression. When Kat shows some sympathy for Patrick, Ash accuses her of being on his side.
Marilyn busies around organising John’s trip home from hospital, but John is still depressed about being kicked out of the Surf Club. He’s worried what people will think of him. John is greeted home by a rock thrown through the window with a note attached: “Burn in hell monster.”
Alf worries to Leah that VJ will yell at Luc again, it’s all too much for the kid. Leah tries to get VJ to accept help with Luc, but he’s too stubborn.

Irene arrives to help with Luc and VJ fusses over how she should care for the baby, worried about leaving her with someone else, out of his sight.
Wednesday 26th April
Leah’s been going above and beyond looking after Luc to give VJ a much-needed rest. Luc kept her up all night so she’s exhausted and also worried about her son. VJ arrives home from a morning surf claiming that the last few days were just a temporary glitch. He feels good now and is ready to look after Luc again. Leah has to take him at his word but once VJ’s gone she confides in Alf, her concern being that VJ is never going to be able to cope with losing Billie and being a single father.
Meanwhile, Marilyn is still reeling from John’s decision. She confides in Irene, the truth is, she doesn’t want a life without John. Irene thinks the answer is clear – don’t let him push you away. With Irene’s words in mind, a determined Marilyn heads home.

He wants everyone out – before he calls the cops!
Evelyn and Phoebe, meanwhile, are celebrating their last night together as room-mates… Phoebe’s excited about moving in with Justin tomorrow, and whilst Evelyn’s happy for her friend, she can’t help feel but wistful now that she and Matt have decided against going to Vietnam… Suddenly it feels like her own life is in a holding pattern.
