Will Annie be saved in time? Charlie’s heroic rescue sends her into Angelo’s arms. Miles asks Kirsty to move back in.
Extended Summary
It’s a stormy day in Summer Bay and a dramatic rescue is underway to free Annie from the storm drain she got trapped in looking for VJ. As the water level rises inside the drain, so does the panic amongst everyone outside. Charlie fears that emergency services might arrive too late, so courageously climbs down to rescue Annie herself. As Annie struggles to stay above water, Charlie heroically kicks down the grill Annie is trapped behind and pushes her to safety before losing grip… Charlie is swept out into the ocean.
Roman instinctively charges into the water and saves her. But, Charlie can’t help but feel put out by the fact that it was Roman who rescued her and is unable to bask in the glory of her heroic rescue of Annie. In a dark mood, she shrugs off Ruby’s fussing and heads to the Surf Club. Here, she finds Angelo, who is also in a low mood about being wrongly accused of assaulting Belle. The pair drown their sorrows together. As Ruby waits up for her sister to come home, we see that Charlie is already in bed – at Angelo’s house.
After an emotional day, VJ opens up to Leah about how much he misses his dad and says that’s why he likes spending time with Miles. Leah realises the importance for VJ to have a father figure in his life and at Kirsty’s suggestion, Leah puts her own feelings for Miles aside and asks if he’ll be willing to spend some more time with her son. Miles gladly agrees. Miles later decides that living apart from Kirsty has gone on long enough. He tells her he wants her in his life and asks her to move back in. Kirsty couldn’t be more thrilled. Miles and Kirsty are back together!
