Summary[]

Ben is stunned when Phil admits he is broke, but he soon comes up with an idea to help - much to Lola's surprise. Mel prepares for Hunter's plea hearing and on the advice of his solicitor she tries to get a few familiar faces to attend. Dennis asks Tiffany about the gang, but when she shuts him down, he secretly messages Stix. Patrick announces he wants the salon to open on Good Friday - only for Denise and Kim to suffer a setback on the staffing front.

Mel discovers that people have been gossiping about Hunter's plea hearing. She asks Hunter's solicitor, Daniel Reynolds, to get Hunter released on bail but he says it would be impossible. In court, Hunter pleads guilty - shocking Mel. She visits him and he says it is too late to change. Mel goes to the Vic and gets drunk, then causes a scene - saying that everyone has been gossiping but they cannot judge Hunter as they are all "thieves, drunks, hypocrites, slappers and liars". She says that Hunter is better than them - he did what he did to protect his family and he will serve his sentence like a man. Mel then goes home and collapses in tears.

Lola and Ben discuss their plan to get all of Phil's money - but when Phil reveals he has no money, Ben promises to help rebuild his empire. Ben then tells Lola that he wants Phil's happiness and dignity as well as his money so when he builds him back up, he will take it all.

Tiffany is asked to give a statement about Evie. She tells DC Jenny Rowell how she found Evie - but when Rowell asks if she knows anything about any sexual assaults, Tiffany says no. Tiffany tells Dennis that Evie has gone and to forget about the gang but he tries to call Stix.

Patrick asks Denise and Mitch to open the salon by Good Friday, then goes on holiday. Denise then finds out that Chantelle does not want a full-time job, despite Mitch saying that she did. Denise confronts Mitch who promises to sort it out.
