Extended Summary
Belle and Drew are at each other’s throats again. Drew is shocked that Belle wants to interview Sally about her new job offer away from Summer Bay. Jazz suggests to Drew that the job is turning Belle into someone he doesn’t like, while Belle confides in Martha that she has a dilemma between her work and morals.
Now that Leah is no longer moving to America, Roman offers to give her back her share of the Diner, but she won’t have a bar of it. She doesn’t want to go back to how things were before Dan’s death.
As mutual interest between Martha and Roman continues to show, Martha decides to make the first step and asks him to dinner.
When Johnny, still in a serious condition in the hospital, regains consciousness, it seems that things have taken a turn for the worse for Sam. But his injury has left him unable to speak properly, able only to moan a cryptic message: under the bed. It seems Sam’s safe for now, but how long will it last? Sam decides she can’t take the risk, and while Nurse Julie is distracted, switches syringes, and when Julie unwittingly administers the new dose, Johnny goes into cardiac arrest. Efforts to save him prove futile, but Sam’s relief is short lived when she learns Johnny will be given an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
