Hugo has returned to the Bay and Gina is stunned to see him. He tries to apologize for everything he's done, but she's not interested, she just wants to know why he's there. He tells her he came back to make sure they were okay – he knew the men after him might come after his family. Back at the house, Hugo confronts Gina, hurt that she's so angry with him – but she won't budge. He's not the son she raised – not after everything he's done.

Xavier is worried when Hugo didn't meet up with them to pick up his supplies, he wants to go out looking for him, Ruby doesn't think that's a good idea, but Xavier's adamant. They're waylaid by Martha, who, lonely, invites them to dinner. Xavier is pushed into it by Ruby, and ends up wolfing his meal down at the Diner, desperate to get out and search for his brother. Martha is left a little suspicious by his behaviour, but Xavier and Ruby manage to cover. When they arrive home, they're all stunned to see Hugo there with Gina. When Martha sees Hugo, she’s in complete shock and faints.

She isn't in the mood for their questions, and pleads with Angelo to give her a night of peace. He relents, and tells her they will be around in the morning to question her.

Angelo senses Gina knows something about Hugo and wants to follow up. When they arrive, the whole family is there, and none of them are particularly helpful. Gina firmly denies knowing anything more about Hugo. Angelo doesn't buy it, and decides to set up surveillance on Gina’s house and the Farm House. He stays out all night watching the Farm, but doesn't find anything. The next morning, Charlie is worried this may turn into another Angelo obsession.

Miles is shocked when he learns he will have to convince the P & C head of his fitness to teach. Gina tries to tell him it'll be okay, but Miles wonders if that is true. No one is able to cheer him up, as the thought of losing the opportunity to teach starts to weigh heavily on Miles' mind. Gina is hopeful that everything will work out, but even she isn't sure. At the hearing, the P & C head goes after Miles, clearly gunning for his job, and it looks like all could be lost

John niggles Tony over their boxing match, wondering when it's on, but Rachel corrects him that it's not going to happen, which annoys Tony. And John can't resist ribbing him later, which eventually becomes too much for Tony – calling John's bluff and scheduling the boxing match.

Rachel is adamantly against it, but Tony insists he needs to get it out of his system. Gina thinks it might be good for the two of them, but Rachel can't agree – she thinks it's crazy, and she can't support it in any way. She talks Tony in to cancelling the match, but in the face of John's further ribbing, he can't back down – and tells him the fight is on.

Romeo devises a plan to help Miles, but he needs Nicole's assistance. Wanting a distraction from thoughts of Aden, she readily agrees. Alf and Marilyn are concerned the kids could be doing something detrimental to Miles' case but Romeo assures them they're not.

(Episode 5074)

Upset at Tony for refusing to abandon the boxing match with John, Rachel doesn't want to listen to his explanations. She goes to see John, asking him to call off the fight, but he refuses, which only angers Rachel further. She and Tony don't speak over dinner, and when they do it's only to argue – things aren't well at all. After Marilyn and Irene tell her to let the boys play their games, Rachel changes tact, giving Tony a first aid kit and wishing him luck. What will happen at the boxing match?

Romeo receives a letter that distresses him. It's one of many he wrote to his mother and it's been returned again – it seems like she could care less about him. The other members of the household note his change in mood, and when Romeo tells them about it, they try to be positive. But Romeo isn't interested – he just wants to forget about her. Miles advises him that shutting her out might not be the best move. Romeo considers what he should do, but is completely blown away when his mother Jill arrives on his doorstep – what is she doing in the Bay?

Romeo's mother Jill, blows into town, and immediately takes a liking to John. She's aloof and does whatever she wants – and she certainly doesn’t mind a drink. Flirty with everyone she runs into, people aren't quite sure what to make of her. But when she shows up at the Summer Bay House and Romeo sees her, he's completely stunned.


Friday 21st May 2010
(Episode 5075)

Jill makes herself at home as she and Romeo catch up on where she's been. But Romeo is still bitter about never hearing from her. Jill confesses to Romeo that she did get his last letter, she was going to write back, but she could never figure out what to say. Romeo is especially hurt when he learns she's been in the Bay two days trying to figure out what to say – and he snaps – has she been drunk the whole time? He guesses she hasn't gotten any more responsible. Jill leaves, going straight to the Surf Club for a drink.

When Jill ends up hammered at the bar, Alf has to bring her home, much to Romeo's embarrassment. He stays up with her all night, taking care of her. The next day, Jill confesses that she received a insurance payout from her husband’s death, and she's completely loaded. Romeo is stunned.

Martha and Hugo are enjoying their time together – but Hugo is very aware it can't last like this; he has to go at some point. She doesn't want to think about that, she just wants to be with him. He wants to talk, and she submits that they will. Later. They spend the night together, their first night together since he left. Martha tells Hugo she thinks they could hide out forever, that they could hide Hugo from the Police – they could find a way to make it work.

Elijah is questioning Leah heavily about every subject under the sun and she wants to know why. He tells her he's just curious, but she suspects there's more going on. Leah asks Irene why Elijah might be asking these questions, and Irene tells her Elijah's most likely looking for an excuse to get out of the relationship. Leah can't get it out of her head, so she asks him, and he surprises her by proposing. What will Leah say?
