4963: Leah confronts her feelings
Robertson has arrested Charlie and interviews her over Grant Bledcoe's murder. The autopsy report showed that Bledcoe had been shot at close range with a stun gun on a couple of occasions before he was killed, and - as every other cop at the station who had access to Angelo's stun gun - also has an alibi for the night of the murder, Charlie has some serious explaining to do. Morag points out that Robertson's case is circumstantial, but Robertson reckons he's only just beginning.

Now that Ruby and Xavier's alibi for Charlie is an admitted lie, the noose around her neck appears to be tightening. Ruby, horrified to hear of Charlie's arrest, is also brought back in for more questioning, and Robertson subsequently threatens her with conspiracy charges. Things are looking grim for mother and daughter until Ross surprisingly turns up at the Police Station.

Having heard what's happening to Charlie and Ruby, Ross tells Robertson that he's here to confess to murdering Bledcoe. He did it, and it's what he should've done years ago when he found out that the boy had raped Charlie. Robertson's chuffed. It'd been his plan all along to flush Ross out by laying charges against Charlie, and he later admits to Charlie that Ross was in fact his prime suspect from the start.

But Robertson can understand Ross' motivations for the murder and feels that with his Alzheimer's disease, and diminished mental responsibilities, the Courts may well go easy on him.

Leah admits to Irene that she has growing feelings for Robertson. She finds him very different to any other men she's known and she has enjoyed going out with him. But after Ross' arrest Leah realises that not only does Robertson tell stories and lies in order to trip up potential criminals, it seems he might be doing it in his personal life too. She tackles him on the issue and he admits that sometimes he does mix up the truth a little. He also breaks the news to Leah, that now he's busted the murder case, he'll soon be leaving town. Leah is full of mixed emotions.

Robertson pays her one last visit to give her a present. It's a painting with a special message for Leah – it's of a girl looking out to sea waiting for her lover.

Annie is having relationship problems too. She has a growing attachment to Romeo, but he appears to be hot and cold towards her. She's not to know that while Romeo is keen on her, he's trying to temper his passion, as he knows Jai really wants to get back with Annie. However, when in a moment of jealousy Jai tells him he's no longer interested in Annie, Romeo's heart soars.

His interest is only momentarily tempered when a miffed Annie tells him she's fed up with the way he's been treating her and from now on she's going to ignore him. Romeo reckons she thinks he's hot, and he knows she won't be able to do that for long, but challenges her to try anyway.
