Robbo remains the suspects of Nell's 'warning kidnapping' even as the baby is found nearby within minutes. He laughs at police questioning as there's no shred of evidence against him. When Robbo tries to book at Lassiter's but Paul vetoes that, he dishes up a story that Mason did the robbery with kid brother Bailey. Karl discovers that Holly's misbehavior stems from frustration that mother Izzy dumped her to cruise with new lover Neville. The brat is not only hostile to 'step mother' Susan but proves impossible to babysit even for Callum and Bailey.

Mason's stories convince Paul that Robbo is too dangerous, also for Kate, but he promises to handle the slick criminal even if the law can't, to which end he recruits cards hustler Marty Kranic, but tells nobody else. Vanessa's bumbling at work makes clear to mildly-jealous Lauren that she must be pregnant. Father Matt Turner makes clear to his boys, who want a stay put, that 'dodgy' Paul isn't acceptable as landlord, so they move if the house is sold to him by Lucas, who must pay his apartment soon.

Josh is not amused that Hudson is back and wants to rejoin competition, so he grumbles cheaters shouldn't be allowed, but reconciled Chris publicly stands up for his delighted gay mate. Beacsue of Vanessa's pregnancy, Lucas decides to sell to Paul, so the Turners are told. Kyle and Chris wonder why plumbing problems infuriate Kate excessively, Sheila demands more 'understanding'.

Brad tells Chris, who asks considering coaching Hudson, that's hard to combine with his new job as gym manager and hopeless given Josh's attitude. Chris, Kyle and grandma Sheila are surprised that the plumbing gets fixed by their new landlord: Paul, who still gets anything but gratitude from Kate, for supposed meddling. The worst news is for Lucas: Paul withdraws even the meager offer to buy his house and insists on timely apartment payment.

At Chris's insistence, Brad seriously considers training Hudson, who otherwise would have to emigrate. Josh won't even discuss the idea, but is easily temped to a cocky race duel, which produces a personal best, convincing Brad it's a good deal for both rival knaves. Just now Holy bonding with Susan stems Karl hopeful to integrate her in a real family, she confides in Susan that she really wants to return to mother Izzy. Robbo promises Amber, whom he shows his provisional living quarters, to turn his life around, preferably with her, but she wants to help only with job applications.

Robbo believes he finally can get his life in order when Paul asks him to drop by to discuss a job offer, but instead he's seduced to a cards game in which he ends up with a debt forcing him to cancel Mason's and promise to leave town. The Turners can't believe she keeps sticking up for the scum after Bailey reports to his parents having seen them kiss. Karl takes Brad's advice to finally fight for Holy rather then simply hand her back to neglectful Izzy, who may not even want her back.

Mason is very grateful that Paul forced Robbo to cancel his debt and assures Kate that won't be grant Paul an improper hold. Kyle worries that Mason takes Kate's infertility too lightly, but bot assure him otherwise and she finds Kyle's support just right. Robbo pretends to chance his plea to guilty but actually tapes his hot night with grateful Amber in secret to blackmail Mason for double the already impossible amount. Missing Rani, Callum refuses his parents childish birthday party plans and is mortified when Sonya 'consoles him' publicly for not having has physical intimacy at sixteen.

Josh is shocked to hear that after father accepted to coach Hudson, mother inspired Paul to sponsor his 'cheating' rival. Mason hopes Robbo's blackmail is bluff, as Amber denies having had sex, but is shown proof and simply can't raise the demanded $10,000.

Kyle agonizes over the text for the posters he promised Georgia to make for the children's ward fund-raiser, until Sheila commandeers Kate to help him. Brad waves Josh's continuing objections against coaching Hudson. Paul is appalled when he hears nobody told him about the knave's drug past when Therese finally comes clean, but decides to maintain the hotel's sponsorship offer.

Grudgingly, Josh resigns to having to train with Hudson, Brad even tells him to cease all hostility towards his 'sparing partner'. Josh scolds Amber's affair with Robbo for lets her off easily, until Imogen, who still manages to hide her frustrated eating disorder, tells him about their last meeting, yet pretends he knew. Kyle is relieved that the benefit preparations go well. Matt sees trough it when his wife pushes Bailey, who has to portray him at school for a father-son project, to complement the cop job stuff with a picture of basketball, which both boys realize is just too clumsy.

Josh gets Amber to admit she had sex with Robbo only days ago and even lied about it, hence bitterly concludes he can't trust her again. Mason is desperate to save his sister's 'honor' by paying Robbo's blackmail, but Imogen can't buy him out as car owner short term. He searches Robbo's dwelling for evidence, in vain, and is nearly caught. Robbo got a menial job as municipal worker, but Toadie gets him fired on account of the restraining order. Despite Bailey's warning he's too much younger, Callum hopes he can interest Imogen.

Desperate failing to raise Robbo's blackmail, Mason tells Paul about his or actually unsuspecting Amber's peril and is promised help, but is told to buy time. Callum is 'treated' to an 'infantile' sixteenth birthday party against his expressed wish. the knavish 'party boy' childishly takes out on the adult guests his frustration over Imogen, whom he invited despited Bailey's wise warning, turning down last-minute. Ex-gambling-addict Lucas is desperate to pay Paul for his new apartment, so it's very tempting when a mate tells him about poker winnings at Robbo's.

Desperate to pay his apartment, ex-gambling addict Lucas can't resist a mate's invitation to join an apparently lucrative poker gang. Lucas hesitates when he finds Robbo is the host, but perseveres, wins big and walks away. Chris and Hudson are now happy together. Matt cheerfully agrees when Bailey asks to enter in the school benefit exhibition mother's picture of their former country home. Neither realizes the frame also contains her sketch of ex Brad.

Chris delights Kyle's gang by showing Karla and notably Georgia's performance, posted on Internet, is an instant hit. Paul offers her a regular contract, but only solo, without old doc. Mason desperately begs him to speed-up the plan to get rid of Robbo. Brad is amused to see Lauren's desperate efforts to recuperate the sketch, even more and flattered when he works out it's on account of his portrait, which Matt wasn't told about.

Sensitive Chris somewhat appeases Kate, who made an absurd scene at Vanessa's baby-shower. She wines she can't stop thinking about her infertility and Mason, however sweetly caring, should understand her 'like Chris'. Georgia tells Paul she won't sign a contract without Karl, but old doc tells her to reconsider for a shot at a solo career, he can resume The Right Prescription when Ajay returns from India.

Josh's hostility during training seems only to get worse, so Hudson tells saddened Brad he's going to find another coach. A father-son-talk makes Josh reconsider his attitude, mainly for Brad's sake. Bailey admits to Sheila that he pretended to be her on social media to pretend she's in grandpa Lou, who returns from Cambodia. Lucas can't resist more poker at Robbo's table.

Mason is desperate as Robbo shortens the blackmail window to 48 hours and Paul refuses to lend him the cash, trusting on his plan which may take much longer. Asked for a blind lie, Chris works out the truth, in the presence of Josh, so the trio thinks up their own plan. Bailey learns Lou isn't interested in Sheila either and manages to appease both.

Josh and Mason first bicker, then turn together on Chris for telling the plan to gay, rich lover Hudson - until they hear he puts up the cash for Robbo's blackmail, well above their meager knavish means. Lucas meanwhile not only loses his early winnings, but end sup signing a $6,000 'IOU' to Robbo. Matt is deeply moved when Bailey show how well he portrayed his father as a noble role model in the school's pictures competition, unlike Callum's embarrassing Toadie-portrait.

Karl diagnoses Robbo so badly injured in a crash that his condition remains critical indefinitely. Many people hated him, making Mason, Lucas, Toadie -who can't recollect his whereabouts-, Amber -whom Chris and Hudson told about the averted blackmail- and others potential suspects, Sonya feels guilty for being relieved he'll probably be unable to testify at the court case.

Matt soon mistrust Mason's frantic attempt to construct an alibi, after repairing Imogen's crash-hit car's tail-light, for them and Amber. Toadie remembers he was probably drugged by Robbo, who meant to discredit Sonya, whose glass he drunk, as witness. Alas, Karl finds it's too late to detect any chemical traces, so Toadie's confession only works against him.

While Hudson dutifully trains his tail off for the state competition, poor Josh runs out of excuses to hide he can't, having been beaten black and blue by Robbo. Chris wonders where the blackmail payoff cash went. To Bailey's horror, Lou is dating again, and Sheila gets jealous enough to 'inadvertently' tell her thus-scared rival about his escort past.

Scolded for missing the state qualifications by Brad, who managed to reschedule, Josh can no longer hide her painfully bruised chest. Hudson generously pretends to have dealt the blow in a 'silly fight' even before Josh can gratefully confirm it was Robbo's doing during the blackmail payoff. Josh is shocked to see Amber at the fiend's sickbed and bitterly dumps her, but Chis explains that only proves how much he cares for her, confiding he also helped him, Hudson and Mason protect her honor. Toadie learns that Lucas was at Robbo's poker night.

Kyle discovers Lucas's poker debts at Robbo's table and gets Lucas to admit that he searched the fiend's place for incriminating evidence. Robbo's condition is critical. To Bailey's horror, Sheila meanly keeps to his promise to 'help out' for a month just for not telling Lou, piling up garden chores and disgusting him in swimwear. Paul renews his low offer to Lucas, who suggests moving to the country to Vanessa.

Robbo dies from his wounds, so the hit and run is now a homicide case, to which two murder detectives are assigned. They commend Matt's research so far, start interrogating and soon sense Mason's story doesn't fit. Worse, Georgia reports that his name was on Robbo's dying lips. Toadie is torn between the fears that an innocent suspect suffers for what may be his crime and what happens to his family if he's convicted. Desperate, Mason asks reluctant lover Kate to confirm his fake alibi.
