Tomorrow, she's going to run away from her problems rather than face them head on! That is not how you deal with things! It is only going to be worse for her when she comes back! I'm not surprised though...Charlie has always run away from her problems!.... As a police officer, what Charlie did was completely irresponsible. There was no way this was going to look anything but dodgy considering her superior knows about her affair with Brax. Had it been any other situation she probably would have gotten away with a slap on the wrist but now she has made things a whole lot worse for herself. Also, I find it kind disturbing that as a mother, Charlie is happy to go off and leave Ruby home alone with all the trouble in the Bay. Hammer may be dead, but that doesn't mean that someone else in his gang won't try getting revenge for what Charlie or Brax have done. How is she going to explain the gun? If she lies for Brax then I will lose what little respect I have left for her. An illegal firearm that Brax brought there was used to kill a rival gang member, that alone should raise questions and if it doesn't, then this has all been pointless; all this violence and now death without any consquences. At the very least, Brax should face firearms charges and even if Joyce is the only one in on her sordid affair, there should still be serious questions as to why she was there and why Brax was there. After all of the problems, life and death situations and lies that Brax has brought into her life, it's about time Charlie decided if a man she doesn't really knows is worth risking everything for. This is one of the problems I have with how they write Charlie; they seem to forget that she's a mother and therefore has responsibilities. Ruby may be old enough to look after herself, but in the past week or so, Charlie has been shot and kidnapped because of her ex's criminal dealings and even from jail Jake can organise someone to come after her, so it's extremely irresponsible to leave Ruby at a time like this, especially when Ruby is no doubt upset about all that has happened. I am also glad to see that Charlie didn't lie for Brax. I didn't think she would have, as her character in the past has been so hell bent on doing the right thing by the law. I know she has slipped with her affair with Brax, but she has hasn't bent the rules for him yet and i don't think she will in the future. If the writers let this happen, they have ciompletely changed the one thing her character has always reflected!

As much as Brax's actions make me angry right now, i hate to say it but i think i can understand why he is acting this way. Casey is his brother after all, he will do whatever he has to to protect him. Even if it means lying to Charlie. I hated seeing her soo upset, she has just killed a man for him and still he's not being honest. The spoilers mention Charlie trying to get Brax to convince Casey to come forward, i'm just hoping that Brax ends up telling Charlie, rather than her finding out whent the rest of the police do from the evidence. I think deep down Charlie knows it was Casey anyway, that's partly why she was so upset with Brax. And didn't Brax's face say it all last night? He really does love Charlie, he's just torn with how to protect everyone he loves! I just hope the writers don't keep stringing this drama along for too much longer. They've made such a big thing out of a couple who were never really together in the first place. Yes, they had the physical side to a relationship and they clearly do love eachother but they never had much of a go at things to start with. The writers need to realise that some of their fans will eventually give up on Chax if they don't give us some happy scenes soon!
