Extended Summary
Vinnie’s up to something and Leah is concerned. Vinnie’s been aloof and Leah is worried he’s turned off by her appearance, thanks to Colleen’s off-hand remark. Leah thinks the thrill has gone out of their relationship, although something else is on her mind. He’s been taking telephone calls on the sly and sneaking around. Alf mentioned a few weird things and Leah’s convinced it’s bad news. Leah has even seen Vinnie wandering around with another woman. Could it be he’s having an affair?
Alf and Sally are worried about Fisher. He’s been driving everywhere since the attack, and no longer walks. It’s obvious he’s frightened. Sally is growing more concerned after finding his office in a mess and a brochure on retirement villages on his desk. So Sally told Alf and he confronted Fisher. He said there’s no point running away from problems. Fisher was so mad he had a go at Sally for poking her nose in his business. He’s so distant he snapped at Brodie, telling her there was no way she’d make a lawyer. This is unlike Fisher, who’s always supporting his students.
Things are strained between Duncan and Jade. He walked to school with her but it was obvious Jade wished he wasn’t there. Alf said Duncan’s been more of a troublemaker since the break-up.
Nick’s been trying to get Jade and Duncan together. Kirsty’s disgusted. She doesn’ t like Duncan that much. After Duncan’s performance today, who can blame her. Sally had to break up a fight between Duncan and David. Jade told David there’s no way she’s getting back with Duncan, who heard about it and started fighting with David. Sally then saw him talking to one of the smarter kids at school, and wonders what he is up too.
