Extended Summary
Ruby, mortified that Xavier warned Liam off her, apologises profusely to Liam. Liam isn’t impressed by Xavier’s conduct and he’s concerned the mud he slung will stick and harm his reputation, so he asks Ruby to set Xavier straight. First, Ruby needs to cool off and she seeks out Nicole, cursing Xavier. Nicole can see Xavier’s point, reminding Ruby how much time she spends with Liam and she’s not completely convinced herself that Ruby doesn’t have feelings for her music partner. Ruby insists she doesn’t, but her actions don’t seem to support this when she checks in with Liam before Xavier. Liam tells her that, until this issue is sorted out, he and Ruby can’t sing together.
Ruby springs into action and confronts Xavier, who – after trying and failing to get advice from his brother – is even more fired up than before. Meanwhile, Liam asks Nicole’s advice and confides that the reason he’s keen to make sure Ruby settles the situation, is because no-one has ever inspired him to write, or return to the recording industry, more than Ruby so it’s a partnership he doesn’t want jeopardised. During their talk, Nicole gets the wrong end of the stick and reveals that Ruby has a crush on Liam. Liam pulls right back, knows he’ll have to keep right away from her and bolts when Ruby shows up. When Xavier spots Liam later on, he angrily asks him to tell Ruby they’re through.
Miles is milking Marilyn and Alf’s fake engagement for all it’s worth, and Alf’s patience is starting to wear thin. Irene gets wind of the apparent nuptials from a despairing Colleen and seeks answers from Alf, who is only too willing to set her straight, explaining that Marilyn made the whole thing up to punish Colleen for gossiping. He’s had enough so Marilyn goes to Colleen with the intention of coming clean, but when Colleen is so rude and patronising, Marilyn backtracks and declares that she and Alf aren’t engaged – they’re already married!
One of the crims who is after Hugo, Killer, watches the Farm House, armed with an assortment of weapons and pictures of Hugo, Xavier, Gina and Martha. Killer checks into the caravan park and the vibe he gives off is such that Miles is left feeling very unnerved. After his troubles with Ruby escalate, Xavier is walking along in the darkness on his own and Killer is hot on his heels. It seems that Hugo’s fears about his family’s safety may not be in vain.
