6367: Michael bids farewell to Erinsborough

Michael tries talking to Tash, but is heartbroken when she makes it clear that she wants him to leave her alone. Knowing that she has come between Michael and his daughter, Emilia sacrifices her love for them both and decides to leave town, hoping to give Michael a chance at rebuilding his relationship with Tash.

However, when Tash continues to reject the idea of reconciliation, Michael reconsiders what the future might have in store for him. But Tash is left to deal with the consequences of his decision…

Meanwhile, seemingly getting the cold shoulder from Jessica, Karl fears that she hasn't taken their break-up well. Not wanting to be on the receiving end of Jessica's frustration again, Rhys encourages Karl to let her in the Fun Run to keep the peace at work. However, when Summer urges Karl not to patronise Jessica, Karl runs the race in earnest and genuinely injures himself - leading Jessica to suspect that he's faking despite his sincere efforts.

A desperate Karl tries to smooth things over, but when Jessica realises that he assumes she's heartbroken, she makes it embarrassingly clear how little Karl meant to her.
