Extended Summary
Noah is frustrated by everyone keeping tabs on him, but why is he stooping so low? He was cleaning the Surf Club after a meeting and Hayley caught him red-handed. He went by the DIC swearing his innocence, but she doesn’t believe him. In a rage he stormed out of the DIC, only to hit Jodie (the little girl at the DIC) with the door.
Luckily Gypsy and Sally were there. Gypsy called Sally because she thought Jodie might be being abused. She’s going to call Janice from the department, but Sally has warned Gypsy to get her facts right first. Unfortunately the police dropped by the centre looking for Jodie, and Gypsy told them about her suspicions. She wants a report to be compiled before Jodie’s released.
Jude and Shauna are already arguing over the invitation list. He wants Shauna to invite her adoptive family, even though she doesn’t want them there. She’s asked if that means he’s inviting Holly and his mother. Oh dear, it looks like the boxing gloves are out!
Brodie’s determined to become a lawyer. But Sally accidentally told her there’s no way she’ll be one. She tried telling her about other ways to get into law, but Brodie seemed down. Luckily, Alex has been boosting her ego, so when Sally told her she be willing to give her a hand, she was over the moon.
Vinnie’s got his clown gig this afternoon. Colleen’s still flabbergasted that Leah refused her father’s offer of buying them a car. Leah’s excited for Vinnie, although she’s worried he’s neglecting his duties at the Surf Club. He borrowing Sally’s car and Sally is but concerned about what might happen to it with Vinnie clowning around! After his gig, he has discovered the car has disappeared.
