4901: 'Silence Is Holdin''

Kim’s panicked by Janae’s note but Janelle’s unperturbed – it’s a tactic she’s seen before. Tired of his parents’ constant bickering, Stingray gives them some painful home truths. Meanwhile, Bree’s having serious doubts about the plan but Janae’s unrepentant – drastic times call for drastic measures. She drags an unwilling Boyd into her ploy, who challenges her to deal with her issues in an adult manner. Fed up, Bree returns to the Timmins house, determined to harden her heart against her parents’ games. Susan provides a shoulder to cry on and much needed advice. Buoyed by Boyd’s support, Janae buys back Kim’s van and delivers an ultimatum – he’s free to leave, but if he does, he forfeits all rights as her father. But Janelle turns the tables with a shock announcement of her own – this time she’s going to leave!

Susan, Rachel and Zeke return from their trip. Rachel’s keen to get in touch with Katya and Susan’s determined to repair the rift for the sake of the kids. But Katya’s disappeared again – efforts to find her are in vain. Zeke still hasn’t spoken and Susan’s worried about his condition. She seeks Karl’s advice unaware that Karl’s grappling with his own unresolved feelings for Susan. Karl channels his energies into helping Zeke but unwittingly oversteps the mark as far as Susan’s concerned.

Angry with Zeke for his continued silence, Rachel vows to live life to the full. A vulnerable Stingray trusts her enough to show her his unfinished film. Her emotional response provides the perfect ending for his project.

When Max discovers Karl was a victim of Elle’s “rent a crowd” he can’t bring himself to burst his mate’s bubble.
