Sarah has broken out of the psychiatric institution and the ripple effect has already started in Summer Bay. Sally gets a call from Hayley to send Noah and Kirsty home from school immediately. No other information is given. Once they get back to the Beach house, they find that Det. Peter Baker wants everyone who could be targeted by Sarah, to get their clothes together and meet at the Surf Club. That means the gang of Dani, Scott, Hayley, Noah, Kirsty, Kane and Jesse. He is taking them to an undisclosed location to lie low until psycho Sarah has been rounded up.

Meanwhile, over at the Surf Club, Jesse gets the news that the club committee has voted unanimously to award him the license for the Kiosk. They turned against Rhys for leaving Beth. Jesse’s ecstatic, but there are more pressing matters at hand. Peter has arrived with the gang and is about to take them all away, when Leah comes up with a suggestion: come to her house instead. Her rationale is that Sarah doesn’t know her, she doesn’t know her house, and most importantly, the gang will be amongst friends, not holed up in an isolated dump. Peter reluctantly agrees.

Flynn, Sally and baby Pippa are whirled up into the maelstrom as well. Flynn is told that his name was mentioned at the counselling sessions with Sarah. All three are going into protective custody with the others.

Colleen goes over to Beth’s house and tells her that although she’s looking after Max now, she’s not going to take sides. Max needs to talk to Rhys about his future. She also lets out that Sarah has escaped. Beth frantically calls Dani and Scott and tells them she needs to speak to them. They head over to her house where she orders them to leave Summer Bay and go to Paris. They cannot stay on her account, especially when a crazy woman could be loose. They decide to go. But they’re too late. Sarah has arrived in the Bay. She waits at the Palace while Dani and Scott say goodbye to the others at Leah’s house. Scott and Dani head home for a brief pit-stop before they leave for the city.
Sarah bails up them up at gun-point in the kitchen.

Over at Leah’s house, things are as normal as can be in an abnormal situation. Kane arrives back from his boat tour as the rain buckets down. Jesse tells him the news about getting the license for the Kiosk and thanks him for his support. Kane could end up getting a job out of it. Leah asks Peter to be her date to baby Pippa’s christening. It’s part of her efforts to move on from the remnants of her relationship with Jesse.

At the Palace, Scott binds and gags Dani under the watchful eye of a gun-toting Sarah. She’s disguised herself in Dani’s raincoat and hat. They make it past the unsuspecting cop on guard outside. She forces Scott to drive her to Leah’s house.

At that point, Peter decides to do a tour of all the buildings that Sarah might possibly target. At the Beach house he discovers that Sarah has trashed the place. A hanging piece of electrical tape in a cupboard confirms where she’d been hiding the gun.

Over at the Beach house, Sarah lays out her demands to the terrified people inside. She is there for one thing only - justice. She makes it clear she doesn’t want to live through the night. She wants the person who killed Felix to step forward. Later Peter strides into the room to announce that he knows where Sarah was hiding the gun. Too late. Sarah smashes him across the back of the head and he goes down cold.

At the Palace, Dani’s attempts to get out of her bonds have ended in a frustrating dead-end. The policeman stationed outside doesn’t have a clue what’s going on.

Peter is having a fit on the floor. Sarah refuses to let Flynn tend to him. She gives them an ultimatum: if by the end of 20-minutes, one of them hasn’t stepped forward, she’s going to start shooting.

Rhys turns up at the Palace. He’s come back from the city. The cop stationed outside doesn’t know who he is and won’t let him in. Suddenly a noise comes from inside. They race in to find Dani tied up. She explains what happened. Rhys and Dani head for their car and roar off towards Leah’s house, followed closely by the police.

At Leah’s house no one has yet come forward and to claim responsibility for Felix’s death. Peter wakes up from his unconscious state long enough to deliver a stunning revelation to Leah: Vinnie is not dead. Leah is shocked. Peter collapses again. Sarah starts the final countdown – 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10…

Rhys and Dani pull up outside Leah’s house. The police car screeches to a halt behind them. They get out and as they run towards the house, gunshots boom through the night. Dani screams out, “Oh my God, no…”
