Eden has had her fill of camping and calls Remi to collect her, but when she hangs up the phone and turns around, Cash has heard the whole thing. Cash can’t believe she would go behind his back and soon the pair are arguing. She tells him he should stay without her, but he insists he wouldn’t have fun.

Finally, Cash defuses the situation with a compromise – what if they stay one more night and then check into a fancy hotel? Eden softens and she leaves Remi a voicemail, explaining that he’s off the hook and she’s staying.

Remi is on his bike and on the open road, already heading out to pick up Eden. When the driver of an oncoming car is distracted by a tussle with his passenger, his car and Remi’s bike collide. Remi is thrown through the air.

When the driver, Wes, inspects a lifeless Remi, his assessment is grim as he believes Remi is dead. Panicking, Wes first destroys Remi’s phone, then insists they move the body. Despite initial protests from passenger Mickey, he soon complies. The pair pile Remi into the car before gunning off down the highway.

Night has fallen at the campsite when Eden trudges out of the tent, with a toilet roll in hand. Hearing a noise from the nearby bush, she peers through the scrub to see Mickey – the passenger from Remi’s collision – digging a makeshift grave.

Before Eden can process what she’s seen, Wes swiftly knocks her out from behind and soon she’s bound and gagged in the boot. When Cash wakes the next morning, his girlfriend is nowhere to be seen, and his cries out to her go hauntingly unanswered. Will he ever see Eden again?

Meanwhile, Alf suspects that he knows why the committee members are dropping like flies – they’re discontented after he went over their heads to reinstate John Palmer. After doing some digging of her own, Roo confirms – not only are the members unhappy that he disregarded their vote, but Simon Henderson has been whispering in their ears. He’s been telling them to quit out of anger over John’s return to teaching. Can they stop him before the committee dwindles any further?

Elsewhere, Justin and Kirby still feel badly about their treatment of Theo over the wedding song, but when Justin sits him down to further apologise, Theo reaches boiling point and snaps – there are more important things to worry about than a song.

It soon becomes clear to Justin – Theo is riddled with guilt following Leah’s breakdown and he can’t stop thinking about her in that clinic. After some sage advice from Alf, Justin reassures him – without his actions that night, Leah wouldn’t be getting the help she needs.
