Sally has just spoken to the hospital about Rocco’s funeral. It’s on today –
because he
has no family to pay, it’s a destitute funeral, an unmarked grave. Sal’s
obviously
saddened by this and has decided she wants to go to the service. Alf can’t
believe her
generosity. He nearly killed you! But Sal thinks that no one deserves an end
like that.
Brad will go with her, for support. Meanwhile, Ric tells Matilda that he thinks
he’s just as
bad as the guy that really killed Rocco cause he’s gotten away with it twice
before and
if the other guy hadn’t beaten him to it, he might’ve really killed Rocco
himself. Mattie
tells Sally what Ric has said – she can’t believe it. Ric comes downstairs – why
are Sal
and Brad dressed up like that? Sal reveals they’re going to Rocco’s funeral.
He’s
stunned to hear it, but understands. They head off, leaving a messed up Ric. At
the
cemetery, Sally is surprised to see Johnny arrive with prison guards. He stares
Sally
down throughout the service, but she’s determined to be focused on why they’re
there.
Rocco. The Priest asks if anyone would like to speak. Sally shakes her head. But
Johnny has something he’d like to share. He gives a long speech about growing up
looking after Rocco – family – and then his move to the Bay and the people he
deserted
because he was influenced by others who told him he didn’t need his brother.
They
gave him nothing, they hurt him. Justice will prevail for them taking Rocco
away. And if
god doesn’t do it, I will. Sally walks away, disgusted. How could he be so
disrespectful
for his dead brother? She returns home with Brad, fuming and tells Ric that
there’s only
one person who deserves to go down for Rocco’s death and that’s Johnny. He’s
evil
and you’re nothing like him! All are shell-shocked by her outburst. Especially
Ric. He
visits Rocco’s grave, alone, staring thoughtfully at the site as Sally’s words
play over in
his mind. He returns home to declare that this all has nothing to do with what
he
deserves as a sentence. It’s about seeing justice done – for Rocco. He was
killed for
trying to stand up for his gang, to his brother and that’s unforgivable of
Johnny. Sal’s
right. Johnny is evil and I’m going to make sure he goes down for it. Everyone’s
blown
away by Ric’s change of attitude. What will come of it?
Rachel sits in darkness – deeply uneasy about her argument with Kim. He soon
walks
in, sheepish, neither knowing what to say. They eventually open up and both
apologise
for earlier. He agrees he got caught up in the baby and put their marriage aside
and it
was unfair. He’ll find another way to pay for the home birth. Rachel is pleased.
Maybe
things will work out after all. Kim tells Kit about the special lunch he’s going
to make
Rachel and how things have been with her and that she’s decided to not be
involved
with the pregnancy as much. It’s too painful for her. Kit understands, but is
disappointed. Kim returns home with groceries for the lunch and starts
preparing.
Rachel is impressed but thought he was spending this arvo with Kit? He was, but
is
working on balancing out the baby/marriage situation and says that Kit
understands
that Rachel wants space from the baby involvement. Rachel is glad to hear it.
Meanwhile, Kit is on the computer when she puts her hand to her belly. She
doesn’t
feel any movement from the baby… As Kim and Rachel sit down to the gourmet lunch
he’s prepared, all is going well. The two are getting along famously when Kim’s
mobile
rings. It’s Kit. Rachel is a bit frustrated as he answers – then concerned with
Kim
reveals Kit’s worried the baby’s not moving. Rachel talks to her – it’s normal,
it’s
probably asleep. Call tomorrow if you still haven’t felt any movement. This
satisfies all as
the couple resume their lunch and wine. However, Rachel notes that Kim is
distracted
and suggests they take Kit to hospital for a check up to ease their minds. He
agrees –
sorry about lunch. As he heads out, Rachel glances at the table. So much for
lunch. Kit
has the ultrasound with Rachel and Kim by her side, and as predicted, all is
okay with
the baby. Relieved, they head home, but Rachel is still put out by the whole
thing. That
night, Kit visits Rachel and confronts her about today. She’s sorry for
interrupting their
lunch, but is worried that Rachel isn’t being totally open with her. She lets
Rachel know
that she’s known Kim a long time and he won’t admit when he’s worried – and it’s
something she doesn’t think they can let Kim do. Rachel has had enough – how
dare
Kit tell her how to deal with her own husband! As Rachel lets her have it, Kit
starts to
defend herself, but is then struck by a sudden headache. Rachel rushes to her
side as
Kit cries out in agony. Rachel drives her to Yabbie Creek, but on the way as
they’re
trying to call Kim, Kit grabs her head in pain, drops the mobile phone and it
falls
beneath Rachel’s foot as she hits some loose gravel, swerves, goes to break –
but the
pedal is stuck! Rachel manages to miss the security fence – phew – finally
dislodges the
phone and quickly brakes. Thank god. But then as she goes to open the car door
she
screams – the car is dangling like a see-saw off the cliff face!
