Extended Summary

Bianca isn’t sure whether she is ready to be a mother again, revealing her reluctance to live as a family with Darcy. Heath accepts that it’s her call, but he’s not going to stop his fight. Connie is ignoring Heath after hearing from Darcy that he is after custody. Bianca decides to support Heath, but advises that they need to do this the right way – get a lawyer and clean up. However, Brax cautions Heath that raising kids becomes your life, and he’s not sure that Heath has thought it through. Soon afterwards, Bianca tells Heath that she has asked Liam for a divorce – she wants to start her future with Heath.

Alf and Harvey warn Roo to make Spencer and Maddy earn her respect, rather than her throwing it at them. They’re worried that she’s letting them into her life too rapidly and none of them know much about the pair. However, Celia brings up the fact that Summer Bay House has always been a safe haven for youth in need – maybe they need to give Spencer and Maddy the benefit of the doubt. Alf is worried about Celia’s relationship. They have an argument but are interrupted by an upset Roo, who reveals that Maddy and Spencer have gone. Roo searches for them, but Harvey feels they’re unlikely to find them. Roo looks for recent accidents where their parents may have been killed, but to no avail. Soon afterwards, Alf leaves the bait shop to find an upset Celia. She confesses that she took the money…

Brax is sick of Kyle’s laziness and forces him to start working at Angelo’s. To Liam’s surprise, Kyle works hard and does a good job.
