Extended Summary
It’s payback time for the Braxtons following Heath’s kidnapping and assault by Adam and Jamie. Having physically intimidated Jamie, Brax decides it’s best for the brothers to play things smart – to get to Adam they’ll have to use Jamie as bait. Kyle is keen on getting in on the action, so Brax allows him the chance to help out – he’s got to be trusted at some point, right? Heath lures Jamie to the pier and apologises for the way things turned out. In feigning courtesy, Heath mentions that he overheard Brax talking to Liam on the phone about Leah, but Brax left for Leah’s place a short while back. Hunting Leah’s whereabouts, Jamie heads to Leah’s and overhears Brax and Liam talking about her safety – unaware the conversation is a set-up. With details of her location, Jamie goes to a house in Mangrove River only to discover it’s a trap – Leah’s not there, but Kyle is…
Meanwhile, Alf and Marilyn can’t break it to Celia that she’s been fired from the Diner. Instead, they convince her that her services would be better spent helping out at the caravan park. Having appointed herself as guest relations manager, Celia sits down to a game of poker with Harvey. When Harvey suggests they play for 5c pieces, Celia snaps – with a friend having suffered from gambling problems, she refuses to play any game that involves a monetary sum. The game is interrupted when Celia takes a mystery phone call. To the unidentified caller, she reiterates that she didn’t want them making any contact – she is handling the situation and will call when everything has been taken care of. The reason for Celia’s extended stay is being revealed piece by piece…
