Felicity has a question for Cash – Where is the footage that her attacker used to blackmail her? And has he seen it now? Cash is quick to reassure her – of course he hasn’t watched it, but what is this about? Felicity believes she may get the answers she needs from watching the footage. And if she can, then that way she doesn’t need to meet her attacker. But Cash is firm – he’s seen the footage of the other women and he can’t let Felicity go through watching it. Felicity however insists, and Cash knows she has a right to the footage. They head to the station, where Cash leaves Felicity alone to review the footage, but Felicity can’t go through with it. Unable to get answers from the footage, is Restorative Justice the last avenue for Felicity to get closure?
Marilyn and Leah wax lyrical to John about Alf’s great mood – Marilyn says he’s a changed man! – but John remains suspicious after yesterday’s committee meeting. Later at the Diner, John puts Alf to the test, grilling him about the meeting the night before, and Leah agrees with him that something’s strange. With Marilyn and John are too scared to tell Alf that his hearing aids aren’t working, Leah agrees to speak to him. She broaches the subject with Alf but doesn’t turn up any answers, but when Alf overhears her and Marilyn talking about him, they’re forced to confront him. Alf cheekily admits the truth – he’s been turning his hearing aids off when John speaks. Palmer’s a lot better on mute!
Mackenzie is suspicious when she finds Xander at work when he isn’t rostered, and Xander insists he’s happy to be there – she should take the day off. When Mackenzie presses further, Xander admits the truth – he’s not avoiding Rose as Mac had assumed. He’s avoiding Kirby! She and Bree have swapped houses, and Xander is missing Bree’s quiet, clean demeanour. It’s in stark contrast to Kirby’s messy, noisy way of life. Mackenzie encourages him – he should talk to Kirby, and sends him home in the interim with the offer to crash at hers if Kirby becomes too much to bear.
