Gina is furious to discover Xavier boxing with Tony. This sparks an idea for Xavier - if his mum is so opposed to boxing, maybe he could try blackmailing her, telling her he won’t box as long he doesn’t have to deal with John coming around to their house. Gina downloads to Rachel about how she really feels about boxing – it’s a violent sport and she doesn’t want it anywhere near her son. But after her chat with Rachel, Gina has realised that she can’t fight fire with fire. Gina tells Xavier he can box on the condition that he comes back home to live and she won’t have John come over any more. Xavier agrees.

When he questions her about this, wondering if she’s feeling lonely, Martha becomes very upset again. Tony assumes it has something to do with Liam but Martha quickly recovers herself which concerns Tony – what is it that’s making Martha so up and down at the moment? When Tony talks to Rachel they both come to the conclusion that perhaps Martha isn’t over Hugo.

Alf is determined to put a stop to this and calls Rachel hoping she can talk sense. Rachel comes over but her chat with Miles yields little success. Miles stands firm saying Rabbit is real to him and no amount of drugs or therapy is going to change that.

Before things get even more serious with Leah, Elijah has decided to tell her his big secret.
As they walk along the beach Elijah tells Leah that a few months back he was called out to a local hospital where a man had been in an accident. When the man was confessing he talked about his wife and son. Soon after, the man died – that man was Vinnie, Leah’s ex husband. Leah is floored at the loss of Vinnie again. Unfortunately VJ has heard the whole thing and realises now that he’s been lied to by his mum - he was told his father was dead but he was alive this whole time. And now that he’s gone, VJ will never get the chance to say goodbye properly.

During their discussion, Elijah explains to VJ, among other things, that his dad thought about him all the time which brings small relief to VJ.
Although Elijah and Leah are still as strong as ever, Elijah feels like he’s let her down and he shouldn’t have carried the secret around for so long. With that, Elijah decides to spend some time away from Leah, much to her disappointment. But he can barely stay away as he rushes to the diner and straight into her arms.
