Meanwhile, Chris revealed that Allan’s record check on Frazer had discovered that Frazer Yeats didn’t exist. After being confronted by Pepper, Frazer revealed that he just wanted to break away as he wasn’t happy with who he was so created a whole new person. Later, as Pepper & Rosetta found Frazer out cold on the veranda at number 30 along with a spanner lying nearby, Will & Rosetta were convinced that he was involved in some sort of criminal activity and demanded he leave. However, as Chris arrived and recognised the mysterious spanner as hers she soon got to the bottom of things after discovering that Janae had borrowed it to practice her skills on some old parts that Steph had and broke a nail whilst using it. In her frustration she threw it over the fence towards number 30 but was ashamed to go around and get it back, not realising that it had hit Frazer and she planned to go around and get it late that night. Returning from hospital later that night, Fraser was annoyed by how quick Will & Rosie had turned on him, especially with Rosetta being a Cammeniti. Upset, Rosetta made it clear to Fraser that she and Carmella knew nothing of Rocco’s dealings and that she became a lawyer under her own steam, not by using her father’s ill-gotten gains.
