Extended Summary

Tom and Sally argued about life in Summer Bay. It started when he told her to respect Gypsy’s decisions. She told him he should stay with Gypsy instead of travelling around Australia. He didn’t like that and said she was wasting his life by not thinking outside the Summer Bay circle. It has certainly given Sally something to think about.
Leah’s been spotting throughout the pregnancy and Vinnie is concerned. He’s been fussing over her and telling her not to go to work. He lectured Alf about Leah working too hard. Alf said he’s been making many allowances for her. He doesn’t think she shouldn’t be slacking off because she’s a partner.

Jill’s doing a great job of manipulating Hayley. Noah and Irene are both worried she’ll be sucked in by Jill’s speeches. Hayley says she’s giving Jill the second chance that Noah’s denying her. Irene’s not convinced. Jude’s realised that leaving Noah with his mother was the worst thing he did. He’s tried confronting her, but she’s told him he’s the ‘anti-Christ’ or something. This isn’t helping Noah, who’s been turning to all the wrong things. Hayley’s not impressed but Irene tells her she can’t give up on someone who’s this desperate.

The twins are planning their performance at the talent quest. Jade and Nick are getting obsessed by fame and fortune. Well, all $1,000 of it.
