Steve pleads guilty to manslaughter. Declan turns detective. Susan’s fateful decision rocks Ramsay Street. Is Samantha really pregnant? Things heat up between Ty and Rachel.

The Parkers are still the centre of attention this week as Steve faces charges for Chris Knight’s accidental death. At his bail hearing, Bridget tries to speak out, but Steve’s brave insistence on taking the fall eventually silences her. Pleading guilty to manslaughter, Steve is granted bail and goes home to prepare his family for life without him. Later, after a run-in with Chris’s friend Mozzie, he resigns as the Dingoes’ footie coach. But when Mozzie returns to settle the score, the football team rallies to protect Steve in a show of support.

Meanwhile, Declan launches his own investigation into events. Unable to dismiss his gut instinct that Steve is innocent, he returns to the scene of the crime and discovers Bridget’s necklace lying discarded on the ground. What will Declan do with this new information?
