Extended Summary

Will told Irene that he wanted to leave school and fulfil his father’s wish for him to look after the family. He asked Alf for a job, as a deckhand and Alf thought about it and told Irene that he would give Will a go. Irene was unsure as to whether he should throw his education away (he is in Year 12) but when she went to Ken’s grave she found Will’s Best Man speech that he had left there. She told Will that anyone with that much maturity to write a speech such as that is ready to make a big decision like that!
Harry has moved out of Fisher’s and into the caravan park.

Hayley tried to apologise to Mitch about her behaviour but he didn’t want to hear it. He said that they should take a break from each other.

Brodie finally opened up and told Mitch what had happened to her. Her mum had been hitting her for things like not cleaning her room and turning up at home late. Her step dad had tried to help her too. Shelley recommended she call DOCS and get her into crisis care.

Hayley went to sit on the beach after she spoke to Mitch and guess what………….she found Irene’s ring!
