Something about Sonny's roommate REALLY bugs me but it's probably nothing compared to Conniving Kerry at the minute (Bitch)

I realise it's easy sittingI'm not sure that Sheriff Mali running him out of town does anyone any favours. It might have been a better idea to take a step back and just monitor the situation.

Too right; There's only one Flamin' Sherriff in this town! And he's actually handled firearms

There's already more plot holes than a Swiss cheese, which I'm sure got pointed out when this aired in Australia at the start of February.

Not only has TEH BABY CCTV caught it all on video (and one assumes in 2026, to the cloud!) but Kerrie didn't even withold her number when calling the cops!

I know it's all a big setup for

The Brax & Ricky Return

but I didn't come down in the last flamin' shower.

I'm not sure which duo were worse, Baker and Holden two decades ago or Lagham and Newman!

At least  Jack and Peter made H&A mostly must-see TV and Jack's female fanbase was sizeable.

Got nothing against Sarge (only thing is he needs to unclench and find himself a good woman), Newman as I said before is often a carrier of the idiot stick when they're done passing it between Remi and Tane but when he's "on", he's at his best.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it.  Still doesn't answer the question how Kerrie got back in when the place was empty, they must lock  their doors when they go out?  

Harper coming to an decision  about her and Tane going back to where they had been having joint custody really pleased Tane and then the meeting at Salt with him, Harper and Jo was going so well, Archie seemed very comfortable with Jo.  But, we, as viewers could see the 's  flying and hear the alarm 's ringing as it was going far too well.  Kerrie made another mistake  too with her  behaviour in the Surf Club. 

it would be very boring if all crimes were solved in five minutes wouldn't it, we see  these things, but that the cops don't. 

Yes the monitor would, we hope, have picked her up and two other flaws in Kerrie's plan.  That packet of drugs won't have Tane's prints on but hers will be and as been said the police  record calls like that and unless she  used  a throw away phone they can trace it.  

 

Sonny did take what Louis said the wrong way, but currently he's still getting used to being in a chair, thinking he's going to be in it forever. and doesn't want to be dumped further down  the line.  But  Dana is made of stronger stuff.  May best as Warren suggested she leave Sonny alone for a while. I guess John isn't barred from visiting him? I did want to give Sonny a BIG hug when we saw him in bed.  

We and Sonny  did find something out about Louis and I can understand his trepidation.  It would be very scary. 

Oh yes Leah and Justin have made up and only after one session at the counsellors.

Out of the various questionable plot points, this one can at least be explained in that Kerrie was presumably using one of those anonymous Crimestopper type numbers.

The number she had written down was a toll-free one in any case, so wouldn't have been Yabbie Creek police station directly.

Is Levi the new Head of Emergency or just the new Emergency Doctor? If the latter it seems like he’d be taking a huge paycut from Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery. 

[Red Ranger 1]

Alf's episode count this week:Three.

Harper looks emotional seeing Kerrie saying goodbye to Archie and saying goodbye herself, but soon comes to regret it when Kerrie still won't leave. I'm glad Harper and Tane managed to get as far as signing the agreement for shared custody, which is what they should have done all along, before anything hit the fan. Jo looked very nice dressed up for her date with Tane but probably could have done without rising to Kerrie's bait. I'll wait until we get a bit further to fully assess the believability of this storyline, but if the police do take anonymous tips, then I'd have thought a key requisite was that they don't record your personal details to try and track you down, which would defeat the object.

Sonny's still sticking to his guns with regards Dana. Louis apologised a bit but didn't quite twig that he gave Sonny the wrong advice, or at least that Sonny took it the wrong way. Nice that Dana had John there for support, along with Harper. And that Warren cared enough to go and check on her.

Well, we don't see Leah and Justin's counselling but at least they talked about it in reasonable detail. It might be a bit abrupt but honestly I'm too relieved to see them on an even keel again to care.

I suppose it would be  like a call centre and would be transferred to the nearest  cop shop to the bay.  We don't know how it works in Australia.  They did act very quickly which I guess they would if drugs involved and the fact a baby lives where they are stashed.  Could/would they make an exception if the anonymous  call turned out to be malicious? 

I liked the fact Jo took exception that Kerrie called her a trollop, now that's a good old fashioned term,  and faced her about it.  Wait until she tells David about it and the hidden treat about Karma was waiting for Tane.  Yabbie Creek did go in all gung ho, didn't know there were that many staff there.  David  did give Cash the option of staying behind but it did help as he was able to calm Tane down and get him outside. 

 They, I thought, were doing a very professional job, wearing plastic gloves, looking at all the places where drugs would be hidden, checking cushions, fridge, cupboards etc.  May have been a tad embarrassing for David seeing as Jo was there and she and Tane were otherwise engaged when they pitched up.  

I've said before I don't think for a moment Harper will believe Tane would have anything to do with drugs, if she finds out about that confrontation   she'll  know it would be Kerrie behinds it.  Hope the rest of the bay stands by him. 

I'm guessing as Yabbie Creek is only a small station they wouldn't have the facilities to test the drugs and for fingerprints so would need to send the packet to the city .

Either way with Levi I think, it would be a reduction in salary. 

If Justin and Leah got to 'reunite' after just one session imagine how it will be after others. 

I was wondering about  Louis and why he hadn't been offered  prosthetics and that maybe where  his legs had been amputated had prevented it. Turns out he had been offered them but only just decided to take up the offer.  It would be a big adjustment for anyone.  I like how it's been handled, not too top heavy.

I had to query several aspects of the search, notably the lack of security regarding Tane and Jo. Tane gets escorted out of there but Jo's apparently allowed to wander around during the search without anyone keeping track of her: Perks of being the boss' daughter? It feels like either one of them had plenty of time and opportunity to grab anything in the house and get it off the premises. Maybe they'd have been searched afterwards? Cash somehow gets back to the station before anyone else to make his secret squirrel call to Harper. No surprise that Tane has a harem of women rushing to his defence. And Cash. I'm not sure about David. I do wonder if, despite his apparently giving his blessing, there's a part of him that quite likes the idea of getting Tane out of Jo's life. Tane and Jo talking about how bright the future looks was a definite "Nothing can possibly go wrong" moment.

So Levi inevitably gets the job and I believe it was said that he was taking over from Bree as head of emergency, even though he just refers to himself as the new ED doctor here. Some nice byplay between him and Mackenzie as she goes slowly nuts.

[H&Alover]

Good point there Red, and David is usually so keen on 'going by the book'.  Tane, in his interview with David and Cash as second officer, did let slip about his warning to Cash about Kerrie being the one who would be the most likely to plant  the drugs. Kerrie does have  a record of being involved with drugs and she must have got them from some contact of hers.  Now all they have got to do is find her.  Don't know if that car is hers or a rental.

Levi still hasn't had written  confirmation  he's got the job but at least it's taken Mac's mind off Tane so she was able to congratulate  hm. Another thing with all this with Tane it has taken her  mind off telling people her and Levi's news. 

I did like the gang of three - Mac, Harper and Jo - joining forces to help Tane,  Did notice Lacey wasn't there - had she done her three days - does she know - but when she  does she'll be backing Jo.  

I was so waiting for Jo to tell David about Kerrie's rant at her and Tane, but her name didn't come up in their conversation at Salt.  I was thinking that about David and his initial thoughts about Tane being right.  

Dana's been filled in and John  now knows.  We haven't seen Alf so we don't know what his reaction is/will be.

Is Georgie Parker aka Roo having time off as we haven't seen or heard anything about her  for a couple of months. Alf mentioned Roo a while back but nothing since.
