Monday episode 5801 - 5/08/13
Ricky and Brax are in a good place now that Ricky’s sentence is no longer hanging over them. The one dark cloud on the horizon is Casey, who still won’t forgive Ricky. Casey is still distracting himself from his pain by hanging out with Maddy, much to Roo’s disapproval. When she discovers that Casey is now Maddy’s trainer, her concern over the amount of time the two are spending together is heightened and Roo makes it clear to Maddy that she isn’t happy about the budding friendship. She approaches Casey behind Maddy’s back and tells Casey to remember that Maddy is vulnerable and perhaps their spending time together could be destructive for both of them. After Roo alerts him to Casey’s situation, Brax seeks out Casey to confront him about his drinking. Ricky knows that for Brax to be happy, Casey needs to be happy. So the pair of them need to concentrate on how to get him in a good place. Despite his aggression, both Roo and Brax almost get through to Casey and he realises he may be a bad influence on Maddy. Although, Roo convinces Casey to continue their friendship, knowing that they both need somebody right now. Their friendship quickly escalates into flirtatious territory, much to Roo’s unhappiness. Yet, when Brax and Ricky deliver some home truths to Casey, he ignores them. In reaction to Roo’s disapproval, Maddy asks to go to a nightclub with Casey, who agrees to get her in despite her being underage. When she discovers that Maddy is missing she goes to Brax, ordering him to help find her before something bad happens.
On top of their issues with Maddy, Roo and Harvey are struggling with their move to the caravan after offering their room to Sally and Pippa, while Sally tries to find buyers for the house. Sally is worried about Roo and Harvey staying in the caravan, but everyone, Roo and Harvey included, pretend that they’re loving it.
April dreads being fired by Dr Bradley after her disobedience last week. She tries to implement Dex’s advice and crack a joke when she has to deal with conflict. This backfires when Bradley thinks April is drunk. April and Dex practice assertiveness techniques to help her deal with Dr Bradley’s aggression; However, Bradley’s playing hardball and won’t sign off on April’s competency papers, and makes April question whether she’s competent enough to be a doctor. April decides Bradley is a bully, and she’s going to put together proof of her bad behaviour and make a formal complaint. Dex is worried about the implications of this.
Tuesday episode 5802 - 6/08/13
After a night out partying, Maddy and Casey play at the beach. A disapproving Brax sends Maddy on her way back to Roo and slams Casey for dragging Maddy into his world of pain. Brax implores Tamara to reach out to Casey, but she reveals that Casey has lost all respect for her. However, Brax is desperate and needs her to try. Casey rebuffs her attempts to talk to him, and she reveals she’s still confused about her feelings for him. In her anger, flashes of the old Tamara surface. Despite pretending he doesn’t care, Tamara’s words have affected Casey.
Maddy comes home from her night out, drenched from falling in the water. Roo, Harvey and Alf have been up all night worrying about her, and are none-too-pleased by her attitude. Off the back of both their grilling, Maddy realises that Casey is in a much darker place than she thought when he pressures her to drink and drunkenly tries to kiss her. Her self-respect kicks in and she tells Casey he can’t use her, and goes to leave. Drunk and broken, Casey begs her to stay. However, he passes out on the beach when drinking and Maddy runs to find help from Brax, John and Tamara. Seeing Casey unconscious causes Tamara to have flashbacks of meeting him in the desert when he was hurt. Maddy runs home to Roo, distraught that Casey is sick, and that she got herself in too deep.
Sally and Alf still worry about where they’ll find the money to get the treatment for Pippa. To give all of them a break, they take a trip out on the Bay in the Blaxland. Their fun out on the water leads Sally and Alf to reminisce about the great times they’ve had on the Blaxland – and Alf reveals that he’s going to sell it to get Pippa the treatment she needs. Alf reveals the news to Harvey, who’s upset that the sale of the Blaxland is going to take his job away from him, he’s already living in a caravan because of Sally and Pippa. Unbeknownst to him, Sally and Pippa are nearby and have heard everything. Harvey feels terrible.
April starts to document incidents of bullying from Dr Bradley and Dex is concerned that it will lead to an escalation in tension. After berating April for not following her instructions, Bradley realises that April is taking notes on her. However, April refuses be intimidated by her. Dr Bradley finally grants April permission to do a full examination, but she’s shocked to find the patient is her friend Casey Braxton who’s been rushed to hospital with alcohol poisoning. After a moment of fear, April takes control and performs brilliantly, to Bradley’s surprise. Bradley tells April she gave a glowing report to her coordinator, but she has organised for April to be moved to another teaching hospital. April is devastated.
