Extended Summary
Shelley’s been trying to work out what’s going on with Woody. She thinks his problem’s psychological and stems from his family background – she heard Woody’s dad call him a ‘nutcase’ during the siege negotiations. Shelley went to see Woody’ mother – as she had heard that Woody was quite protective of her – out for some answers to Woody’s behaviour, however Woody’s mum was in another world. As soon as Woody’s dad came home, he ordered Shelley out. Shelley’s tried telling Mr Carter (the police officer involved) about Woody’s circumstances, but he wouldn’t listen.
Mitch is going to New Zealand. Brodie’s shattered, worried he won’t come back. Hopefully for Brodie’s sake he will.
Duncan and Alf had a blue today. Alf went to talk to him about his reasons for selling the Diner, and told Duncan to stop acting like a child. So Duncan told Alf how he’s been feeling since Ailsa’s death. When Alf told him he feels guilty about her death, Duncan told him not to be so stupid, and told Alf he thought he hated him.
