With Matilda finally back at the Bay, Ric's looking forward to getting things back to the way they were. But she has other ideas. It turns out her house just doesn't feel like home anymore, and there's only one way she feels she can move on. "How would you guys feel about me moving in?" she asks Brad and Sally at a hastily convened family meeting, clearly taking no hint from their quizzical expressions. Fortunately for them, Tony's arrival shelves the debate; he clearly has no idea of Matilda's plans, and agrees that each side are going to have to sort things out amongst themselves before any kind of a decision can be made.Even though Tony and Lucas reluctantly come round to what Mattie has to say, Cassie’s noticed that Ric doesn’t seem to be all that keen on the idea either. "I'm not convinced that she's making the right change," he admits, prompting Cassie to drop a few subtle hints in Mattie's direction that perhaps it's too much too soon. Despite his reservations, after a chat with Matilda, Ric agrees to give it a go – probably a wise move, considering what she did last time things didn't quite go to plan – and the two join the latest family conference with high expectations. But they’re in for a shock. Sally and Brad (who's suffered a nightmarish first day back at Summer Bay High following his demotion) have clearly now had long enough to think up a good way of turning her down, and tell her that it's not in her best interests to take such a big step. How will she react?Enemy at the gatesNow that Geoff's no longer playing football, Tony doesn't see why Aden should get the satisfaction of taking his place on the team, or of keeping his existing position. But Aden doesn't take things lying down; as payback, he and some mates drive out to the Campbell farm (rumour clearly yet to reach them about what's likely to happen) and tear up the land.

As you'd expect, Bruce delivers his trademark response by firing shots into the air – but he's so incensed that he can't resist taking it a step further.

As the boys try to make their escape, he takes aim and starts shooting at their getaway car, all the while ignoring his grandson's well-informed advice that "you can't just shoot people."

When Tony finds out about the incident he confronts both Aden and Bruce (who's now taken to staking out Aden's house); neither of them is impressed by his interference, each issuing their threats.

But as his enemies stack up, so does the list of suspects – because by the end of the day Tony’s lying unconscious on the floor at home, having been beaten up by an intruder.
