Remi, unable to string together a sentence after his surgery, is still waiting for the results from his brain scans. In the interim, Levi provides some good news from the pathology results: the tumour is benign, he does not have cancer. Remi is frustrated, unable to express gratitude with his speech impediment. Dr Swan finally enters with the results from the scan and reveals that Remi is suffering from expressive aphasia, a common symptom of brain surgery. Temporary swelling around the Broca’s area of the brain is causing the aphasia and impeding his word recall. Dr Swan puts their anxieties to rest surrounding the aphasia and the seizures, the swelling will reduce in no time, and he is officially on the mend. Remi is beaming with gratitude, and Dr Swan returns the thanks; he is a success story of an incredibly risky but exhilarating procedure.
Jo lies about her plan to go find Tane after having been caught by Cash with her bags packed leaving her house. Cash isn’t fooled, and pressures Jo that it’s in Tane and his son’s best interest that he is found. Jo folds and confesses that Tane is in Exmouth, Western Australia. Jo and Cash join forces to try to locate his exact whereabouts, and when Cash proposes CCTV, Jo reminds him that the only reason she confessed his whereabouts to him in the first place was so that he could be a friend and not just throw the book at him. This makes Cash decide to go to WA himself. He goes home to pack and Eden stalls him, thinking his search is futile because Tane already made up his mind. Cash is convinced he can be put to his senses. Jo turns up, intent that she’s going to come with him. Together they get a cab and head to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Levi finds out through the warrant put out by Cash for Tane’s arrest that Tane did a runner and absconded bail. Levi is convinced that this takes the cake as the stupidest thing Tane’s ever done. Later at Salt, Mackenzie secretly chides Jo for telling Cash about Tane’s whereabouts, she is furious at her. And then later, Levi still ignorant to Mackenzie’s complicity, turns up to Eden’s house where Jo is about to get in a taxi to the airport with Cash. Jo asks Levi to thank Mackenzie for everything she’s done before secretly leaving for WA. It becomes abundantly clear to Levi that Mackenzie enabled Tane’s escape, and he confronts her. Mackenzie is caught off guard, no longer able to keep this lie to herself…
On a beautiful, deserted beach in Western Australia, Tane and Brax appreciate the view. Tane expresses doubt on his decision to run away from the Bay. Brax tells him that he’s made his bed, plus now his son no longer has to see him behind bars. Later, Tane feels forlorn seeing Brax and his kid playing footy, and he asks Ricky if they have any regrets going on the run with a child. Ricky emphasises the importance of being with the people you love, which only exacerbates his own feelings. Tormented by the idea of not seeing the people closest to him ever again, Tane tries to call Jo, but Brax confiscates his phone so that he can no longer be traced. Tane’s fate is sealed, alone in WA, away from his son…
