He’s not going to let Charlie wreak any more havoc! Suddenly a thought strikes Kim and he races off. Charlie is still sorting through funeral documents when Kim arrives. Charlie is immediately on edge and Kim knows he has to work hard to convince Charlie he is on his side. Kim tries reverse psychology and slowly but surely, convinces Charlie they are mates – and reiterates Charlie’s previous statement that they will be “friends forever”. Kim goes as far as saying he and Rachel have broken up and gradually Charlie becomes convinced that Kim is totally committed to their friendship. Charlie’s defences disintegrate and he admits to giving Doris the drugs that killed her. Kim is sympathetic and encourages Charlie to do the right thing and admit to his mistake.
Meanwhile, Jack is on his way to work when Rachel arrives, looking for Kim. She is instantly on alert when Jack informs her he darted out to take care of the situation. Kim is shuffling Charlie out the door, utterly relieved that has talked him in to making a confession. But timing couldn’t be worse, as Rachel pulls up in her car.

Rachel is devastated – they came so close to ending this mess but now the disaster has worsened! They call on Jack, who starts searching around Charlie’s house. As Kim and Rachel reassure Jack they don’t consider Charlie to be a danger, one of the police officers hands Jack some funeral documents. Kim and Rachel are horrified as Jack reveals that Charlie wasn’t planning Doris’s funeral – he was planning Rachel’s!! Rachel is shaken and kicking herself she didn’t see the signs in his behaviour. Back at home, Kim is doing all her can to reassure Rachel she will be safe. The phone rings and Kim’s face falls – it’s Charlie and he is threatening to harm himself. Kim agrees to meet Charlie at the rocks on the beach. Kim rushes down to the point but Charlie is nowhere to be seen. He dreads as he looks over the cliff – but there is still no sign. He is filled with horror as he realises it is a set up and Rachel is home alone! In a panicked state, Kim races through the door, yelling out to Rachel but he stops dead in his tracks when he comes face to face with Charlie standing in the hallway. What has Charlie done?!!
Kitty is on the phone telling the person on the other end that things have become more complicated and she still hasn’t revealed the truth to Amanda. Kitty quickly hangs up as Amanda enters the room.

Things aren’t going well for Kitty – how’s she going to break the news now? Back in the Diner, Alf roars in, after just learning Amanda’s been granted council approval to film in the area. Belle listens on in disbelief – how did that scrag Amanda get away with it?
