Extended Summary

Jude kissed Shauna and she admitted to Sally that she liked it.
The book launch took place and an emotional Fisher asked them to remember Byron and Hayley dedicated her half of the book to her father.

Leah got her test results from the needle stick and when she found out she was clear, she threw herself over Vinnie, not Ted. Then Leah told Shauna and Sally that she wouldn’t let Vinnie propose to her until after her results and she hopes now that he does now.

Sam meets the guy who is beating up Sandy (Bella’s father) and he decided to take her and Bella to Fisher’s to stay. Fisher didn’t really have an objection but what he does object to is him saying he will support her.

Hayley dumped Noah after Noah said he was sick of hanging out with her friends and watching TV etc.

Ailsa collapsed in the Diner, clutching her chest in front of Alf and Duncan.
