Viv continues to flirt with Ric. Henk and Tam's mum return to Summer Bay. It's Brad's last day at school.

Viv and Ric

Ric is shocked that Viv was the one kissing his neck, not Mattie. Ric says he has a girlfriend, and Viv says she has a husband. Ric says she has the wrong idea and isn't interested at all.. but doesn't seem all too convincing. Viv leaves, but hasn't given up on Ric just yet. She threatens not to tell anyone, as Ray would kill him if he found out!

When Mattie turns up, Ric is all flustered.

Ric gets a txt from Viv and takes off, meeting up with her down by the wharf. Viv apologises for her behaviour saying she gets lonely sometimes. Ric is sorry for being rude back, saying he was taken off guard. He admits that if he didn't have a girlfriend, he would find her attractive.

Ric gets Drew to cover for him, saying he was with him and not Viv. Ric explains that Viv has been flirting with him and it's getting out of hand. He's freaked that Mattie might find out.

Down on the beach, Viv finds Ric again who quizzes him about Mattie, who looks after him and what his dreams in life are. He says he's always wanted to be a pilot but it's not very realistic for him. Viv encourages him that he's got so much potential and he shouldn't limit himself.

When Ric gets home, Sally rants at him about chores and Ric snaps back "what about what I want to do?" to her. Sally says he's been so strong and reliable and she's taken him for granted.

Later, Viv gives Ric a voucher for an executive suite and The Sands resort for him and Mattie to spend some time together.

Sally and Brad

It's Brad's last day at school already - even though he doesn't have a new job lined up.

Brad apologises to Sally for what he said the other day and she's fine with it. Leah's glad Sally and Brad are talking again.

Ric admits he misses having Brad around. Sally says Ric and Mattie are her role models now for having been together for so long.

Cassie and Henk

Henk turns up and Cassie runs and jumps into his arms so happy to see him.

Tam and her mum

Leah, Dan, Rachel, Brad and Tam get together for dinner but Rachel has mucked up the recipe and everyone starts coughing as the curry is too strong!

Suddenly, Tam's mum turns up! She's starting work at Morrison's Bay hospital next week. Tam's a bit sad to see her mum, since she's been having a great time lately. Tam's mum promises to make things up to her and things will change.

Tam's mum thanks Brad for looking after her. Brad says it's been worth it and she's part of the family now.

Later, Tam's mum wonders if moving Tam again is the best thing for her as she seems so settled in Summer Bay so Brad kindly offers his place for the pair of them until she gets a job locally. Tam's happy.

Brad gives Tam's mum some cash, but later Dan warns she could be straight back to gambling. Brad goes hunting and sure enough, she's back on the pokies!
