Extended Summary

Leah has broken up with Elijah, but when Irene asks the question, Leah honestly doesn’t know if she wants to get married or not. Miles’ advice to Elijah is to fight for Leah. Irene considers if Leah broke up with Elijah so that Leah herself wouldn’t get hurt. When Elijah comes over to talk to Leah he explains the ins and outs of how he was feeling when he proposed – he is sorry he rushed into things. As Leah listens to him she realises things are a lot simpler than she thought – this man loves her and she loves him. Leah asks Elijah to propose again – and Leah accepts.

Marilyn has explained her plan to Alf; let’s give Colleen what she wants – let her think we’re engaged. But for Marilyn’s plan to really work, she asks Martha for the ring she wears around her neck, unaware Hugo gave it to her. Martha agrees and Marilyn’s plan works. When Colleen sees the ‘engagement ring’ on Marilyn’s finger, she takes the bait. Marilyn plays up, telling Colleen that Alf gave it to her. Colleen is mortified. Alf gives a good performance too and both are very convincing in front of Colleen.

Martha tries hard to keep the secret of Hugo staying at the farm. Thugs enter the Surf Club clearly looking for someone. When the thugs look to their photos we see an image of their targets – Hugo and Martha. The thugs soon follow Martha out to the farm, scoping out the place. Inside the house, Martha is explaining her sadness to Hugo and they both know he has to leave and it’s just a matter of when. Neither of them realise just how close the danger really is.
