5338: John confronts Xavier over his behaviour

In the aftermath of the accident, Xavier has to deal with the consequences of his actions. As John takes him to task over his immature behaviour, Xavier tells him to back off - he's not his dad. But when Summer's father attacks Xavier in the hospital for putting his daughter's life at risk, it's John that steps in to defend Xavier - a gesture that gets Xavier and John back on track.

When Xavier goes to see Brax, Brax drops a bombshell - he's fired and has to replace the scooter. John agrees to cover the scooter and offers Xavier some advice about Dex and April - forgiveness is the best revenge.

Meanwhile, Brax is surprised when Morag comes for a visit to Angelo's and starts asking a lot of questions about him. Unsure of her motivation, Brax is friendly - but he soon realises that Morag knows a lot more about his relationship with Charlie than he would expect. Morag leaves Charlie with a warning about Brax.

Elsewhere, Heath is becoming increasingly unimpressed with Brax's choices. Certain Brax is losing commitment to the River Boys, Heath offers himself as the new leader, but Brax laughs off the idea. Later, Brax heads to the beach and is annoyed to find Casey with the River Boys, telling him to go home to study. Heath openly questions Brax's authority but he's shut down when Casey goes home and the loyal River Boys follow Brax into the surf.
