Sonya takes it upon herself to lift Brennan from his funk. And though it’s hard going early on – he still can’t bring himself to go through Kate’s things – she manages to put a smile on his face for the first time in a while and, with Nell as her accomplice, even prompts him to reveal a little of his grief at the loss of Kate.

Reeling from the discovery of Sienna’s threatening letter, Brennan contemplates what to do. Sonya comes round to check on him and although Brennan politely rebuffs her, his attitude and a glimpse of the evidence he has collected against Sienna, sparks her concern.

After hitting rock bottom, Brennan’s comforted by Sonya, who encourages him to put emotion to one side, and to start thinking like a cop again. Buoyed by her advice, Brennan is now determined to find out once and for all if Sienna is guilty. Sienna, meanwhile, is being questioned by the detectives while Matt’s suddenly called away from the station.

Terese is furious that Brad has kept the search for his daughter a secret and forces him to tell Lauren about it. Despite calling off the search in the first place, Lauren is actually supportive, eagerly deciding to go to Adelaide with Brad to chase up this lead the P.I. left him with.

In Adelaide, Brad and Lauren are awkward after sharing a kiss the night before. Unable to deal with the situation, a guilt-ridden Lauren decides to return home to her husband and family. But before she leaves, Brad assures Lauren that the kiss meant nothing – it was five minutes of madness, that’s all.

When Bailey invites Jayden and his mates over to his house, he pushes aside his stress about his breakup and his cleaning responsibilities to relax and have fun.

Bailey makes every attempt to talk through his relationship issues with Josie, but is thwarted by Jayden at every turn.

Paul and Brennan join forces to identify new suspects for Kate’s killer. Paul thinks anyone associated with the corruption ring Brennan uncovered is a possibility.

Despite Paul and Brennan’s best efforts, they fail to gain access to the files, which are kept in a secure storage facility.

Callum struggles to get his head around the surprise offer to take a mentorship with a gaming company in Silicon Valley.

Lauren returns from her honeymoon, while Brad returns from Adelaide having drawn a blank in the search for their daughter.

Having scored herself a job at Harold’s with Lauren, Paige takes the opportunity to do some early detective work into her family, discovering that she has three half siblings. One of those siblings is almost her age, presenting Paige with the disturbing understanding that her parents gave her up, but kept all the children who followed. Armed with this understanding, Paige then engineers a meet...

Naomi is putting a great effort into looking good at Singles Night. She shows off her dress to Toadie and Sonya and gets advice from them.

To get to the bottom of the mystery, Kyle checks the security footage from the garage but instead of finding answers, he uncovers something troubling - guy in the yard, buryin...

Matt interviews Paul about his connection to Victory Cleary. Matt already knows from police records that Gus Cleary, Victor’s brother, was killed in 2004, and that in 2007, Paul came forward and claimed he was responsible, but charges were never laid because Paul wasn’t in a fit state of mind at the time. Paul refuses to admit that he was responsible for the death of Gus.

While Paul tries to come to terms with his role in Kate’s death, Matt informs Brennan that they finally have a suspect – Victor Cleary. A tip off on Cleary’s whereabouts leads Matt to a hut on a local industrial estate. Inside, a wall of surveillance on Paul confirms they’re getting closer to finding Kate’s killer. It also makes Matt realise the danger Paul’s still in, and so he offers police ...

When a shaken Paul discovers Terese distributing photos of Victor Cleary to the staff and businesses of Lassiters, he insists she leaves the policing to the police.

Later, Brennan observes Paul leaving flowers at Kate’s grave.

Callum’s goodbye party kicks off without Josie present, but Sonya convinces her to come – for Callum’s sake - even though it’s going to be a hard day for both of them. Josie surprises Callum by insisting things have to change - no way will he want to be hamstrung by a girlfriend back home, which is why she’s breaking up with him.

Toadie and Sonya are struggling after Callum’s departure and Toadie takes refuge at the office. Naomi finds him there and tries to get him to open up. He goes for a walk to calm down and while he’s out, Sonya and Nell arrive at the office looking for him. Naomi can tell she’s stressed and suggests Sonya go have a massage – she’ll look after Nell. Sonya agrees.

Brennan’s concerned when he follows Paul and sees him buy a weapon. It’s clear he intends to take revenge on Kate’s killer, so Brennan tries to reason with him, to no avail. Brennan notifies Matt of Paul’s intentions, and the pair set a watch on Paul’s penthouse, while seeking a warrant to take the firearm from Paul.

Unable to track Paul down, Matt has requested a phone trace but until it comes through he and Brennan can only hope Paul isn’t in danger. Meanwhile, Paul is face to face with Victor - the man who killed Kate. The phone trace eventually comes through and Matt races off to find him, closely followed by Brennan.

When Lauren learns that Paige has just splashed out on extra groceries – she’s force...
