Weekdays at 1:45 and 5.30pm

Bridget and Declan’s find attracts the attention of Guy Sykes, the man who once shot Toadie. Elle’s meddling puts Zeke’s life in danger. Donna’s secret begins to unravel.

Bridget and Declan wonder what to do with the $20,000 they found buried in the community garden this week. Before they can decide, Mickey pinches the money and reburies it. He then takes some of the loot and goes on a spending spree with Callum, only to be caught red-handed by Toadie and Steve. Toadie is disturbed to learn that the money originally belonged to Zeke’s sister, Katya, and that she was going to use it to pay off crazed criminal Guy Sykes. Toadie is afraid that the publicity surrounding the cash will lure the man who once shot him back to Erinsborough. His fears prove well founded when Guy reappears in Ramsay Street and demands his $20,000 from a helpless Zeke.

Meanwhile, Elle senses a story is in the air when she discovers that Guy is back in town. She persuades Lucas to help her uncover the truth, little realising that the police have concocted a sting operation to ensnare Guy. Elle’s amateur investigation botches the police surveillance and risks putting Zeke’s life in danger when he goes to meet with Guy. The criminal makes a run for it and escapes, while an embarrassed Elle tries to bury the story. When he gets wind of the news, Paul brushes aside Elle’s objections and runs the article on the front page. But have they heard the last of Guy Sykes?

Elsewhere, Elle is stunned to discover that Sass’s mysterious stalker is none other than Donna. Determined to protect Donna from her mother’s vengeful wrath, she helps her conceal the crime. But Donna’s cover is blown when Sass spots her disposing of vital evidence. In a bid to save her friend, Elle rashly claims that she is the stalker. Elle shuts Lucas out as she sticks resolutely to her story and is arrested. When he learns of her sacrifice, Lucas is hurt by Elle’s failure to confide in him. At the same time, Donna hits her mother with the truth – she was behind all those menacing phone calls. Can mother and daughter reconcile in time to save Elle from jail?

Also this week, Ringo tries to find a new job at Charlie’s Bar. Sunny’s obsession with Lost Boy threatens to expose Zeke’s secret. Dan is surprised when Libby pulls out of the race to be principal. And Paul tries to lend Rebecca a helping hand by volunteering to sponsor the local netball team.
