As we return to the scene next week, Alf (Ray Meagher) wonders what on earth is going on as dozens of people run up to the surf club in a panic. A passing Troy tells him that there’s a shooter on the loose, so Alf orders everyone to get inside as he rings the emergency services.

Down on the beach, Cash holds Stevie in his arms as they wait for the paramedics. Nelson thinks they should move her up to the surf club—they’re sitting ducks where they are—but Cash knows that it could do even more damage.

As Cash tells Nelson to head up to the club himself, Stevie tells Cash that he should go also, but he refuses to leave her side.

As sirens approach, Stevie tells Cash that she’s scared, and as he does his best to keep Stevie talking, she eventually loses consciousness.

Over at Northern Districts, Bree (Juliet Godwin) has been informed that there’s a gunshot injury coming in. But when Stevie is handed over by paramedic Carla (Jennifer Rani), Bree momentarily freezes. They need to work quickly as Stevie is deteriorating fast.

It’s mayhem inside the surf club as everyone tries to come to terms with what’s happening. There’s been no sign of the gunman, with Alf informing everyone that they must remain there until told it’s safe to leave by the police.

When Nelson tells Alf that it must have been Stevie’s stalker that fired the shot, Troy searches online and discovers that Sidney was released following a mistrial.

“And he came straight here to finish what he started,” Troy angrily adds, before bemoaning Stevie for bringing this mess to their movie. Things quickly flare up between Nelson and Troy before Alf is forced to step in.

With police swarming the bay, Cash rings Eden to update her, warning her to stay indoors. When she relays the news to Remi (Adam Rowland) and Felicity (Jacqui Purvis), Remi insists on going to the hospital. Eden goes with him, with Flick returning home and locking the door.

Flick rings Tane (Ethan Browne), who is out getting some fresh air before his court appearance, and warns him that a shooter is on the loose. Naturally, it’s Tane who then immediately spots a suspicious-looking Sidney walking briskly across the parkland with a large rifle bag.
