Meanwhile at number 30, Susan has prepared a welcome package for Sunny Lee, and converses with Zeke over Ringo’s misfortune. Dan and Libby come in prancing around – clearly, dancing with Andre Rieu has had at least some positive effect! Libby asks after Ringo, and Susan explains that Ringo’s hardship is all but Adam Clarke’s fault, and thinks ‘Lost Boy’ has some responsibility in it. Zeke looks on very concerned, knowing that Susan is standing right in front of ‘Lost Boy’. Susan and Libby go off to prepare Sunny’s room, and Dan sits down with Zeke to talk over Ringo.

Back at the radio station, Zeke puts in a little rant about Ringo’s failure and loss of his AFL dream, and how it has all gone to his head. At number 30, Dan is listening in on the show, and gets Libby to hear it – she is adamant ‘Lost Boy’ has to reveal his true identity. Back at the radio station, Melissa pops in to tell Zeke that Ringo is waiting on the phone, to speak on-air. Zeke gives her the go-ahead to put him through. Ready and waiting is an angry, but smarmy Ringo on the phone, giving ‘Lost Boy’ some harsh words. Zeke, or ‘Lost Boy’ gives as good as he gets, and, as he asks Ringo if there’s more to life than footie, a defeated Ringo doesn’t answer, and realises just how much the AFL has taken over his life.

At home, Dan has heard enough, and goes to see Zeke to put a stop to the fighting, but going in with a softer approach, he tells Zeke that his recent actions have been nothing more than a copy of Ringo’s, and is nothing more than a personality clash.

Over at the Dingoes gym, Toadie is putting every single grain of energy into a pretty weightless barbell, and trying all he can to lift, he tips head first over the bench! Declan is using Lucas as a human punch-bag for his boxing training, and, using so much force, he is using it as a way of releasing his anger over his mother’s mess of a love life. Declan tells Lucas that he feels his mother always seems to attract the most untrustworthy of men.

At Harold’s, Libby and Susan are teasing Rebecca about her rekindling attraction towards Paul, but Rebecca denies any feelings for Paul are resurfacing, and explains that she is worried about Andrew following her slip of the tongue at Charlie’s the day before. Just then, Donna comes in, bringing in a very wary Cass who is dithering over where to sit, feeling rather out of place. Cass whines about hating Erinsborough, and the unfriendly nature of its residents, but Donna completely disagrees. She tells Cass she will only continue to make enemies instead of friends, if she carries on living by her manipulative ways. Feeling anxious and slightly flustered about her scheming behaviour towards Paul, Donna tries to persuade Cass to apologise to everyone for her betrayal and deception. Desperate to run away, Cass attracts the others’ attention, and feels compelled to own up. As she confesses, Rebecca reveals a slight smile, content that Cass is getting her just desserts! However, as Cass becomes more agitated, Rebecca and the others look on in surprise, as Cass urges whoever is stalking her to leave her be.

Back home, Donna comforts Cass over a cuppa, expressing how proud she is to know her mother has finally seen the error of her ways. Cass realises that if she continued, she would only alienate everyone further, and feels grateful for her daughter’s support.
