Leah receives a text message from Jamie with a photo of her sleeping from the night before. Totally freaked out, Liam tells her he’ll call the cops. However, the police are hesistant to help, believing that Leah has given Jamie the wrong signals.
VJ runs off to confront Jamie at the beach, but when VJ insists his mum isn’t interested, Jamie loses his temper and grabs VJ. Leah and Liam arrive just in time to stop anything from happening. A psychotic Jamie vows he will never give up on Leah, as she rushes away with VJ – terrified. Leah, in a spur of the moment decision, announces she and VJ are leaving Summer Bay for a holiday.
VJ is resistant, as are Liam and Natalie, but they understand how Leah feels both frightened and powerless. She and VJ flee the Bay with the hopes that Jamie will leave or forget them forever.

Emerson gives a fair testimony, but the prosecutor is convincing in his damning portrait of the Braxton family. Casey flees the courtroom as his anxiety takes over and he succumbs to a panic attack. Their lawyer reveals that Tamara has skipped town – now their only reliable witness is gone.
