Robbie discovers the truth about The Believers – but will he be able to save Tasha before it’s too late? Flynn plans an emotional farewell to his family.
Extended Summary
Jack and Martha have uncovered some disturbing information about The Believers – and desperately try to warn Tasha that she and Robbie may be in danger. Tasha drops the bombshell – they are joining the Believers. Clearly, she has become brainwashed and dismisses all of the allegations against her friends at The Farm.
Jack and Martha are relieved when Robbie admits he had suspicions about The Believers and agrees to join the others in convincing Tasha she is making a mistake.
Tasha feels betrayed when she returns to the Beach House, to finish her packing, and is confronted by Irene, Robbie, Martha and Jack. Tasha reiterates how much this move means to her. Robbie can’t help but be won over and hesitantly agrees to “give it a go”.
Unbeknownst to Tasha, Robbie returns to The Farm to talk to Jonah and put his mind at ease. He casts his eyes over tent city on the look out for Jonah and notices the one tent he knows is “off limits” . The curiosity is too much. Checking the coast is clear, Robbie darts to the mysterious tent and enters… Robbie is stunned by the sight of what lies inside. A picture of Tasha lay on display surrounded by candles – a shrine! Robbie is instantly alarmed by The Believers eerie obsession with Tasha. Jonah must have been watching on from a distance as Robbie leaves in a hurry to warn Tasha.
Robbie returns to The Farm with Tasha in tow – it’s time she saw The Believers for who they really are. Robbie reefs back the cover exposing nothing more than a tent full of supplies. The shrine is gone! Tasha is completely bemused and Robbie is furious that Jonah has got away with his sinister plan to win Tasha over.
A nervous Cassie and Ric wait for their exam results but are excited when they turn out to be better than they expected. Ric still has the underlying guilt at having cheated but sweeps it aside when he sees how happy and proud Flynn and Sally are.
Flynn is in a sombre mood as he thinks of all the loved ones he will be leaving behind. Ric, Cassie and Sally are looking over the recommitment ceremony photos and comment on Flynn’s deteriorating health. Flynn overhears, hurt by the thought he does not want to be remembered as a “sick man”. An idea enters his mind – and he calls on Alf for help.
Flynn and Alf are in the park even though it is a struggle for Flynn he is determined to go ahead with his plan. Alf stands by with the video camera, as Flynn takes a deep breath and delivers a heartfelt goodbye to his family – one by one. A difficult moment for both men as they struggle with their emotions.
