5003: The media turn up in Summer Bay

A TV reporter called Patrick does a piece on the Summer Bay race riots. They interview a variety of townspeople and decide the key to the piece is Alf Stewart. Patrick tries to interview Alf but Alf doesn't want to take part.

Patrick interviews Martha and Irene, who find the experience cathartic. They try to get Alf to talk. Eventually Irene persuades Alf to be interviewed. During the interview, Alf is shown to be greatly traumatised by what happened - he says that Summer Bay has been changed forever.

The media also turns its attention to Liam, publicising his recent drug relapse. Nicole feels responsible for contributing to this. Aden goes around to see Liam and tells him that Nicole misses him. Liam goes around to see Nicole and apologises; they decide to try to be friends again.

Leah is in severe shock after what happened at the riot, despite the efforts of Irene and Colleen to cheer her up.
