5449: Dex decides on his future

When Dex babysits Dallas's son, he gives him a chocolate bar, which sets off a deadly allergic reaction. Seeing Sid calmly handle the situation brings up their conflict over Dex refusing to study medicine.

However, after a talk with Dallas, Dex begins to understand Sid's real issue. Finally, Sid explains that he just wants Dex to be happy, so with his dad's support, Dex decides to stick with nursing.

Meanwhile, following her fight with Leah over Brax, Ruby rents out a van at the caravan park and makes the effort to shut out anyone who tries to help her.

Elsewhere, on the eve of the election, Alf takes a group to dinner at Angelo's to thank them for their efforts in supporting his campaign. Despite last minute efforts from the Stewart campaign, Alf loses the election.
