Ailsa went to the police over this and they were able to put a restraining order on Tony. As soon as Garner gave him the restraining order and left he ripped it up and went over to see Ailsa, showing that no piece of paper was going to stop him. Alf then goes over to the caravan park to have a go at Tony, but he’s not there. Ailsa thinks Tony has been in the house as there is now a picture of their parents in her handbag.

Later that week, Tony came down from the roof and started playing with Duncan. He told Ailsa it would be wrong to take a family away from Duncan and simply left.
