Episode 483

Extended Summary

Emma is at the Diner telling Adam about Alf’s stolen surf skis but Adam is more concerned about the lost prize money since their plan backfired and Grant was able to enter the ironman after all. Emma tells him Grant knows they set him up by letting the air out of his tires and Adam owes him an apology.

Bobby and Matt are still looking at the map at Fisher’s. Bobby remembers a fishing shack Al used to go to. Matt reminds her the police told them to keep their noses out but Bobby says they can call the cops if they find Al and Sophie. Fisher arrives home and is annoyed with Bobby as the police have read him the riot act over her concealing evidence. They tell him about Shane’s comic. It was enough to make Simpson shoot through and if he’s not there to give evidence the case will be dropped. Fisher doesn’t want the case dropped; he wants his name cleared. He tells Bobby to stay out of it.

Back at the Diner, Adam agrees to tell Grant. He and Emma leave as Ben and Dave come in. Dave continues his pick-up lines with Carly but she is still only interested in flirting with Ben. The following morning, Ben is running along the beach and runs into Carly. He tells Carly he’s known Dave all his life; their families live on the same street in Perth.

Matt arrives as Bobby is opening up the Diner. Bobby is still planning to check out the shack, to Matt’s dismay.

Adam and Emma are at Grant’s caravan and have confessed that they set him up because Adam is desperate for the prize money. He put the money up in the first place from his shark money. Grant tells Adam to get stuck into his training, have faith in himself and win it back. Emma thanks Grant for not dobbing her in to Alf and asks if there’s anything they can do to make up for it. Grant gets them to wash his van and delights in watching them.

Carly and Ben are in Ben’s caravan and Carly tells Ben that Adam and Grant are his main competition in the ironman. Ben asks what else happens around here. There’s a disco tonight and Ben asks if she’d like to go with him but Dave comes in and says booze, chicks and dancing are just what a bloke needs on holiday… they’ll pick her up at 7!

At Summer Bay House, Tom and Sally are planning to go and visit Steven in hospital. Lance arrives and wants Sally to enter the frog jumping competition with him. Sally insists on half the winnings and goes off frog-hunting with Lance.

Grant orders three pieces of carrot cake at the Diner; ironman food apparently. Carly arrives and tells Bobby that Ben asked her out tonight. Unfortunately Dave is coming too. Grant asks Carly to the surf club dance but she tells him she has to work. Bobby asks if she’s hoping someone else will ask her.

Sally and Lance creep up on a frog and catch it in a net.

Adam, Ben and Dave arrive at the Diner. Dave claims Ben won’t even make the finish line in the ironman. Adam is interested to hear that Dave is placing bets on the ironman. He tells him Grant is likely to come second… Dave is looking at the champ himself.

Sophie finds Al digging in the sand. He digs up a chest… what he came here for.

Emma is at the Diner. Carly doesn’t know how she can parade herself in the beauty show. Adam joins Grant and says he’s just placed a bet on Grant winning. Grant asks what about Ben. Adam says he hasn’t been near a wave in months. Grant informs Adam that he competed against Ben in a junior ironman in Perth a couple of years ago and he won. Matt goes into the kitchen and tells Bobby he will go with her to the shack in case the going gets tough.

At the shack, Al breaks open the lock of the chest. The chest is full of money from the job Al went to jail for. He couldn’t spend it because the police had a record of the serial numbers. He’s going to launder it and they can get out of Summer Bay.

Sally returns home with a basket full of frogs. Tom tells her to take them outside where they belong. Lance arrives with a tank to keep them in.

Back at the Diner, Ben and Grant are discussing Ben’s training. He’s just been on two weeks’ jungle training and has never been fitter! Adam looks worried. Dave tries to chat up Emma at the counter but she calls him a creep. Adam asks Dave if he can change his bet but Dave won’t let him. Adam says he lied about Ben but Dave tells him to never trust a bookie!

Lance and Sally can’t get the frogs to eat anything. Tom tells them frogs eat flies and Lance goes to get the fly spray but Sally says it will poison them. A fly conveniently starts buzzing around the room so Lance tries to swat it. Tom tells him not to break anything so Lance predictably breaks a vase.

Bobby and Matt find the shack. They go inside and try to get Sophie to leave with them but Al returns and catches them, leaving Sophie looking terrified.
