Monday
Brody is troubled by the recurring memories that he's having about an incident with his mother, which happened when he was just a child. He questions Tori about her memories of their mum Kate.
Brody questions whether Tori can ever remember her being angry or scared. Tori admits that she remembers her mother being pretty close to perfect. That's how Brody had always thought of her too, but he's starting to wonder if there was a whole lot more going on that he never knew about.
Later, Brody has another memory flash of his mother. He's just a little boy and his mother angrily tells him that the whole family will be in big trouble if Brody doesn't forget a conversation that Kate has assumed he heard. Brody is left feeling even more troubled. What was the deal with his mother? What is it that he can't remember?
Meanwhile, Tori feels horribly awkward following the revelation that Duncan's ex-wife Caroline has arrived for a surprise visit with their 5-year old son Bryce. When Duncan questions Caroline about what she's doing here, she claims that she's here to see that Duncan is okay after the plane crash.
Alf and Roo are similarly taken aback to find Caroline here in the Bay, with Alf feeling particularly suspicious. If she was so worried about Duncan, couldn't she have simply made a phone call?
Later, Tori finds the opportunity to apologise to Nate for jumping to conclusions about his meeting with the woman from CareFlight. With their friendship restored, Nate now questions Tori about what's obviously on her mind. Tori admits that she doesn't know where she stands with Duncan, given the unexpected arrival of Caroline.
Elsewhere, Justin puts his relationship with Phoebe on the line and tells her the truth about Decker.
Tuesday
Brody is struggling with last night's dream of his mother, but when he airs his worries, Justin is at a loss. Brody seeks out Decker and takes the opportunity to dig for answers about his vague memories. He questions whether Decker can remember something going down around that time, but is disappointed when Decker says that he doesn't.
Decker also admits that he has now become a target and he fears for his life. Decker needs the Morgans to visit the address he's left in case anything happens to him.
Decker's visit sparks Brody to remember a key piece of his memory - his mum was arguing with Decker, but he doesn't know what it was about. As Justin and Brody try to get their heads around this revelation, they decide they have to find Decker again. Little do they know that he's just been run off the road and his life hangs in the balance.
Meanwhile, as Caroline asks Duncan to spend the day with her and Bryce seeing the sights of the Bay, the tension between Alf and Caroline remains evident. While Duncan, Caroline and Bryce bond over fishing, Roo walks past by chance. With her dad's suspicions in mind, Roo tries to ascertain Caroline's intentions. But as Caroline describes how she wants to make amends, Roo can't help but think she seems genuine.
Later, Duncan and Caroline get a moment alone. Caroline takes the opportunity to clear the air and admit her guilt in cheating and ruining their marriage. Duncan doesn't believe it's that black and white and is surprised when Caroline is overcome with emotion. He comforts her, which is what a concerned Alf sees as he walks past.
Elsewhere, Kat is surprised to receive an inquiry about a job from a security firm. She quickly puts together that Ash was behind it. Touched by the gesture, Kat further bonds with Ash as she helps him assemble a pram for Billie.
Wednesday
With Tori having written him a glowing reference for the CareFlight job, Nate tries to suss out whether she still has feelings for him. He doesn't get far before a critical patient is rushed in - Decker. Tori is shocked but does her best to pull herself together and focus on saving her 'family friend'.
Wondering why Decker is in Brody's childhood memories, Justin and Brody call his phone - only for Tori to answer and tell them about the accident. Rushing to hospital, they discover that Decker was run off the road. Justin is guilt-ridden that he didn't believe Decker when he said his life was in danger - and now he knows they could be in trouble too.
Desperate for answers, the Morgans wait for news on Decker's condition. Finally word comes through and it's not good. Justin refuses to simply cross his fingers and hope for the best, heading to the Farm House in search of the address Decker left Phoebe.
Kat gives the address to him, but upon learning that he plans to go there and get to the bottom of what's going on, she offers to go with him. Justin is uninterested but Kat is unable to fight her bad feeling about this. She reluctantly goes to Ash and they head off together after Justin.
Meanwhile, Kat struggles to fight her feelings for Ash. Spying this, Billie attempts to give Ash hope that it's not over but he's unconvinced. Billie refuses to give up and reaches out to Kat. Kat doesn't deny her feelings for Ash, but makes it clear that she doesn't feel like she can trust him. Although Billie understands her rationale, she's adamant that Ash is the most trustworthy man she knows and even if he doesn't tick all of Kat's boxes, he comes very close.
Elsewhere, Olivia fires back when Tabitha badmouths her online, ignoring Hunter and VJ's advice not to fuel the fire. Much to Olivia's distress, her response only makes things worse, with the entire school seemingly getting involved. Finally listening to Hunter, Olivia takes the high road and ignores Tabitha, hopeful she'll get bored with her and move on. But Tabitha isn't done yet and posts a video of Olivia that she's doctored to make her look full of herself.
When a group of students mercilessly mock Olivia, she can't take it any longer and confronts Tabitha on the beach, begging her to stop ruining her life. But Tabitha's got news for Olivia - she hasn't even started.
Thursday
Evelyn finds Mason on the beach and their old chemistry returns as he offers to take her for a drive. When they pull up to find the garage closed, Evelyn suggests they restart their 'friends with benefits' agreement - and they quickly move into each other and start kissing. Soon afterwards, Matt arrives to find them scrambling to straighten their clothes. As Evelyn heads off, Mason moves in to kiss her goodbye, but she subtly avoids him.
Later, as Matt works away on Mason's car, he tries to get the lowdown on his feelings for Evelyn. Eventually, Mason comes clean and admits they're actually friends with benefits. Matt warns him that someone usually gets hurt with this kind of arrangement.
Meanwhile, Ellie's dyslexia has been diagnosed and friends and family rally around her. Zac tells Ellie that he's hired Evelyn as a teacher's aide to give her one-on-one tutorials, but the attention is making Ellie feel like a freak. Despite Evelyn's enthusiasm, their first tutorial is a disaster. Ellie is uncooperative, lazy and rude, before she finally storms off.
Later, Ellie lies to Matt about her first tutoring session with Evelyn, telling him that she was mean, pushy and walked out on her. Matt calms her down and finds Evelyn with Mason. He confronts Evelyn over how she treated Ellie. Mason defends Evelyn, but as Matt walks away, Evelyn tells Mason to stop acting like her boyfriend, leaving him stunned.
Elsewhere, Zac and Leah's reheated relationship inspires John to do something romantic for Marilyn. Lost for ideas, he turns to Chris, who suggests writing her love letters from a secret admirer. He thinks the anonymity will give her a thrill, but she'll still know they're from John - because who else would send her love letters, right? John reluctantly agrees to let him take care of everything.
Later, Chris and John secretly plant Marilyn's love letter at the Diner. Although flattered, Marilyn insists it couldn't possibly be from John - it's not his style. Leah then wonders if perhaps she really has a secret admirer. Marilyn thinks it's probably just a silly prank, but Leah feels the letter was too heartfelt for that and points out that Chris has been acting strangely. Maybe he's the one with the massive crush?
Also today, Olivia discovers that Tabitha has created a fake Facecloud profile to turn even more students against her. Determined to help, Zac calls a special assembly and shines a light on the dangers of cyber bulling. He explains what Tabitha had done to Olivia, giving the mean girls a reality check.
Friday
Mason catches up to Evelyn, apologising for getting involved in her argument with Matt. Evelyn is still furious, pointing out that she's capable of fighting her own battles. Then when Matt visits Evelyn to talk about Ellie, he warns her that Mason may want to take things to the next level. He advises her to put a bit of space between them if she doesn't want a relationship.
Later, Mason runs into Matt at the gym. Matt warns him against pushing things with Evelyn just as she's getting her life back on track. But when Mason overhears Evelyn advising Ellie on how to be strong, he's reminded of how awe-inspiring she is. Mason knows they had a deal, but he has to come clean to Evelyn - he's falling for her. Does she feel the same?
Meanwhile, suspecting Chris is behind the anonymous love letter, Marilyn overcompensates and this convinces John that the letters are working. Evelyn catches wind of the plan and Chris lets her in on it. Evelyn reminds Chris that Hannah had fun the night they pretended to be a couple, but instead of reminiscing, he gets straight back on the next letter to Marilyn, uncomfortable with the memory.
When Marilyn finds the second letter, the writing convinces her that Chris is definitely her secret admirer. Marilyn confronts Chris, forcing John to reveal the truth and apologise. But will Marilyn be impressed with the romantic effort?
Elsewhere, Matt returns home after his run-in with Evelyn and Ellie is quietly delighted to learn he stuck up for her. But when Roo arrives home and catches up on the news, she can't believe that Evelyn would walk out on Ellie. Matt goes to hear Evelyn's side and realises Ellie lied.
Matt is confused and confronts Ellie about what her problem is, but she walks out on him, convinced that he won't understand. When Evelyn finds Ellie working on her assignment by herself, Ellie admits she's embarrassed about what the other students will think of her.
Also today, Leah and Billie discuss baby names. Leah suggests that giving the child a family name may tie the two families together more. Billie explains her dilemma to Marilyn, who suggests a compromise. Later, when Leah finds Billie on the way to the Surf Club, she has a few more suggestions. Billie has already come to a decision – "Leah" will be the child's middle name!
