Seasons & episodes

Chris and Kyle are still reeling after learning about Scotty and Georgia’s engagement. Neither of them wants to be the one to break the news to Georgia.. Kyle has to work with Scotty, and can’t resist letting him know he’s onto him. Scotty then lies to Georgia, telling her Kyle is being hard on him at work, leading Georgia to believe Kyle’s acting out due to jealousy.

Amber freaks out when she finds it’s morning and she’s still with Robbo in his panel van. Feeling guilty about hiding him from her family, Amber wants to tell them about their relationship but Robbo convinces her to wait until he’s got a job and can make a good impression.

Horrified to learn that Amber has been keeping a secret – her relationship with Robbo – Bailey urges Mason to tell her the truth about the break-in. Mason resists but realises they have no choice. Amber is rocked to learn that Robbo set up the break-in and that Matt covered for Bailey. But when Bailey insists that Robbo broke in at home looking for his share of the money, it’s too much.

Bailey is suspicious when Mason assures him that he’s taken care of the Robbo situation. Bailey presses for details, but Mason is evasive, not wanting to tell his brother that he’s agreed to go through with an armed robbery, in exchange for Robbo leaving town, and never seeing Amber again. Amber appeals to Mason, wanting him to patch up his differences with Robbo.

Lassiters is a war zone, and lives hang in the balance as the injured are raced to hospital. Rani continues to reject her mother, unaware of the nightmare that is unfolding – while Toadie does his best to convince Callum that Sonya is going to pull through.

As Matt investigates the robbery, he learns more about the people in the community who are each dealing with the aftermath of the explosion. When Mason learns Sonya is in a coma he goes to visit her in the hospital. Georgia tells him they don’t know when Sonya will regain consciousness but they’re hopeful. Mason takes the opportunity to try and cover his tracks.

Toadie is reunited with Sonya, but she struggles to come to terms with her memory loss. Toadie assures her it will come back – she has to give it time. News of Sonya waking from her coma travels… Mason finds this out from Lou but learns she has suffered memory loss and later hears she is working on trying to recover it.

After being confronted with the truth about Scotty’s sexuality, Georgia reels, unable to understand how after eight years, she could have missed something so significant. She goes to confront him, only to find he’s gone, having left a short note confessing that the accusations are true.

Kyle is relieved when Georgia apologizes for practically blaming him and Chris and assures her not to expect a rebound relationship, yet he insists to be off men indefinitely. Amber's tutoring session with Kate provides Mason and Bailey opportunity to go snoop for the robbery loot in Kyle's garden, but Sheila is on guard. Ajay prepares a court case to demand huge damages from Paul, which might cost him Lassiter's, but must agree he's not objective, so Toadie should take the case.

Caught snooping by Sheila, Mason and Bailey convince her the cash, which she states having find, supposedly was earned and hid embarrassed by 'gigolo' Lou. Grandpa plays along to collect the fortune from her, but demands the truth from the rascals. Served a subpoena by gloating Ajay, Paul is openly appalled that Andrew's first concern isn't for the firm, the knave that his father's isn't for the explosion victims. Lou finds a negative pregnancy test, assumes it's Lauren's but thus makes her realized Amber secretly had serious sex. Grilled by her parents, the birdbrain admits that her lover is robber Robbo and tries to 'deflect' anger by blurting out to mother that Bailey helped Mason by driving her car as getaway and father kept well-meaning kid son's part out of official records.

Andrew is startled when Tasha says she dropped out of college to travel around the world, without precise plans. The invitation to join her and stop 'trying to please Paul' seems absurd. Instead of sharing the loot with the boys, as Mason proposed, Lou donates everything to the hospital. As mother's panic rage dies down, the Turner family seems to settle in things. Paul is tricked into signing what he ignores to be permission for Sophie to attend Syndey conservatory, which he explicitly refused.

Andrew decides to stop "living for Paul's approval" and start by joining Tash on her European journey. Paul discovers Sophie's dirty trick but lets Kate convince him to allow her studying in Sydney and to give Andrew a warm send-off. The wedding video kick-starts Sonya's memory.

Kyle and Chris hesitate whether to tell Lucas and Vanessa about the pron pictures of her they saw in a magazine left by mason, but both already found out. When Lucas hears it's a reprint from when she was 21, things are quickly smoothened. Susan starts working as principal. Bailey and Callum organize a memorial for Priya. Even Ajay didn't realize that Rani is just acting normal, but Callum offers welcome support.

Paul offers Rhys's mother Elain Lawson a cash settlement if she waves any court claim, Ajay urges her to hold out for much more, but backs down after Vanessa somehow scolds them cocky and insensitive. Sheila wants to be promoted Charlie's manager now Andrew and Tasha have left, but refuses to pay Paul's price: convincing Elaine. Susan has to stop Callum form bullying Alistair, who apologized for his father's Internet-abuse of Priya to Rani, only to be scolded irrationally with the startling claim that Priya is still alive.

Matt Turner gets desperate about his wife bitching at him whatever he does. The boys hope a 'family game' of street cricket will release tension, but Toadie, who wriggles in and appoints himself umpire, semi-accidentally gets the wooden ball in the crotch which she meant for her husband. Paul is relieved that Elaine accepts a settlement out of court, giving him courage for the legal battle against Ajay, who remains determined to 'revenge' the victims. Romantically crushed Georgia buries herself in nursing, but too may shifts exhaust her enough to make a serious mistake. Paul tells Kate, who dares 'lecture' him about a younger one night stand, to grow up or move out.

Paul fears the end of his business empire wen a preliminary forensic report suggests he's accountable for the wedding explosion. Kyle and Chris however discovers, when they use the same type of gas bottles, that most of those leak and inform the police. So the official report is revised, no longer suitable for Ajay's mega-damage claim. Lou insists the Turner parents must have dinner with a riper 'crisis-resistant' couple. Karl and Susan constantly bicker politely, yet that does the trick, so Matt can resume his rightful place at home.

The three Turner boys promise to stick together, for the while family's sake; even more after Matt receives an anonymous 'I know what you did' note from their previous home town. Sheila starts her precarious career as Charlie's manager by hiring Pete, hunky enough to attract female and gay attention, but bar-business ignorant. Paul isn't impressed by his poor performance, yet enough by the higher day takings to grant Sheila a wager about working him in fast.

Kyle stubbornly decides to throw a birthday party for depressed Georgia, who ends up canceling when asked to do an extra shift in hospital. For Mason, it's an opportunity to score a date with Kate after all. When he wakes up, his country girlfriend Rhiannon Bates has crawled in bed with him. Pete has an accident which gets him checked out in hospital, where he seduces Georgia.

After discovering country-ex Rhiannon in his bed, pretending they are a steady couple, Mason hastily evacuates her past his siblings before the Turner parents return and tries in vain to make her leave town and his life again, but remains too friendly. Chris asks Georgia in vain to stop avoiding him as if Scotty's bi-infidelity were his fault. Kyle is not amused to learn that she not only bailed on the birthday party he threw for her, apparently pretending to do an extra shift, but spent the evening with studly new barman Peter. Although the mates need a third man instead of Rhys, Kyle jealously rejects Peter, so Rhiannon gets the room. She does arrives with the triumphant news just when mason is mending his chances for another date with Kate, who feels he just has a fetish for 'older women'.

Having heard from Rhiannon that Robo returned to Mount Isa, Mason decides to confront the scum in his former country home town. Bailey fears big brother can't be saved unless the police can get involved, so he wants to stop everyone from protecting him by confessing his robbery complicity at the precinct. Kyle is startled when Pete says Georgia dumped him too, even asked if he was gay. Mason changes his plans after Rhiannon confesses she, not Robbo, sent the threatening letter to his father on jealous impulse.

Mason is just in time to drag Bailey home before he can confess his accessory robbery part. The excuse about an imaginary cat passed on to father betrays they were there, Bailey spills the beans and the Mason men make a pact. Ajay vindictively waves Paul's offer to join forces against the leaky gas bottle manufacturer. Mason tells Rhiannon there's no point in moving in to be near him, who will never love her, which fuels her jealousy of Kate, but she can't afford moving back home, where her sister minds her young son. Rani is obsessed with Priya's 'ghost'.

Lucas's renovations in his house delight Vanessa, who can't wait to move in. Mason promises to get rid of Rhiannon, but sees no realistic way. Karl forces Lucas to face a test with grim results: he has testicular cancer, which must be removed urgently if it hasn't spread tragically already. Luckily for Ajay, Priya's therapy period diary, which Kate unwittingly encouraged Rani to read, proves that she remained confident in her frustrated daughter's love. Paul still refuses to face that he misses Priya too.

Chris jokes Lucas only gets away with so much time-off being the owner, ignoring his grumpily distracted boss's cancer nightmare. Steffie is released from jail, and appointed by Lynn manager of the shop, hence unamused Vanessa's far less competent boss. Georgia sassily ignores Karl's warnings. Insecure Amber lets class bully Cassie humiliate and blame her, despite Kate's help offer.

Chris remains puzzled by absentminded Lucas. Steph arrives to manage the coffee-shop, but realizes Vanessa is a valuable, talented employee and seems eager to keep her on. Sonya is irritable, fires her nursery assistant but can't cope with work here herself. Vanessa starts to doubt the foundation of her relationship with Lucas.
