Extended Summary
Sarah has broken out of the psychiatric institution and the ripple effect has already started in Summer Bay. Sally gets a call from Hayley to send Noah and Kirsty home from school immediately. No other information is given. Once they get back to the Beach house, they find that Det. Peter Baker wants everyone who could be targeted by Sarah, to get their clothes together and meet at the Surf Club. That means the gang of Dani, Scott, Hayley, Noah, Kirsty, Kane and Jesse. He is taking them to an undisclosed location to lie low until psycho Sarah has been rounded up.
Meanwhile, over at the Surf Club, Jesse gets the news that the club committee has voted unanimously to award him the license for the Kiosk. They turned against Rhys for leaving Beth. Jesse’s ecstatic, but there are more pressing matters at hand. Peter has arrived with the gang and is about to take them all away, when Leah comes up with a suggestion: come to her house instead. Her rationale is that Sarah doesn’t know her, she doesn’t know her house, and most importantly, the gang will be amongst friends, not holed up in an isolated dump. Peter reluctantly agrees.
Flynn, Sally and baby Pippa are whirled up into the maelstrom as well. Flynn is told that his name was mentioned at the counselling sessions with Sarah. All three are going into protective custody with the others.
Colleen goes over to Beth’s house and tells her that although she’s looking after Max now, she’s not going to take sides. Max needs to talk to Rhys about his future. She also lets out that Sarah has escaped. Beth frantically calls Dani and Scott and tells them she needs to speak to them. They head over to her house where she orders them to leave Summer Bay and go to Paris. They cannot stay on her account, especially when a crazy woman could be loose. They decide to go.
But they’re too late. Sarah has arrived in the Bay. She waits at the Palace while Dani and Scott say goodbye to the others at Leah’s house. Realising they’ve forgotten their passports, Scott and Dani head home to collect them before they leave for the city. Sarah is waiting for them.
