Belle receives some devastating news. Melody cheats for the school bully.
Extended Summary
Angelo smiles as he watches Charlie sleeping in his bed but when Charlie wakes she is mortified that she had drunken sex with him the night before. Now awkward by the state of their relationship, she doesn’t know how she’s going to be able to work on his court hearing. However, Angelo’s deal with Tim to clear his name comes through when Jack receives a tip-off about a man called Nobby who admits to beating Belle during a botched robbery on her place. Charlie and Jack have hit the jackpot!
Edgy after the attack and still sore from rehab, Belle’s first outing doesn’t go well and bumping into Angelo only makes things worse. She’s horrified at hearing the news that Angelo’s been cleared for the attack. But a final blow comes when Charlie tells her the soil samples the police took from the development site have come back negative to anything untoward. Without some new breakthrough, it is unlikely the police will be pursuing the developers. Shocked and devastated, Belle feels like she is living in some kind of terrible nightmare.
It’s the evening of the school assembly. Geoff gives an amazing incoming School Captain speech that has Irene and Nicole glowing with pride. Aden grins as he finally receives his completion certificate but he is unable to share the moment with Belle as she is not well enough to attend.
Matthew has pressured Melody into writing an essay for him, which he hands in as his own work. Later Miles is bursting with pride as melody is presented with a Special Citizenship Award. Miles then discovers a hand written copy of the essay in Melody’s bag -the same as the one that Matthew had submitted to him today. This handwritten copy comes complete with marks where Matthew’s spelling mistakes should go. Realising Melody must have helped Matthew cheat by writing his essay for him, Miles’ excited and happy mood takes a turn for the worse. Melody is so busted!
