Home Farm Robbery Goes Wrong
Robert’s frustrated at being outwitted by Lawrence with regards to the Estate Manager job and heads off to drown his sorrows when he learns that Nicola has been appointed. Ross spots him leaving his car keys behind and swipes them, only for him and Aaron to get caught red handed stripping the engine by Robert.
With his mind whirring, Robert decides not to call the police, but instead forces Ross and Aaron to stage a raid at Home Farm. Whilst first ensuring Chrissie and Lachlan are both out for the day, Robert sets Lawrence up who takes a whack with a baseball bat from Ross as they set about raiding the house with Robert watching on.
Chrissie comes back early leaving Aaron and Ross to play the part, disguise their voices and block her exit. How will they get themselves out of this one?
Jai’s lies catch up with him
Rakesh tells Ali she could apply for a child arrangement order to get access to nephew Archie and she suggests to Jai that she has him two days a week, leaving him reeling that she’s got Rakesh on the case. When Jai confronts him he has some further news for Jai. He’s been doing some digging on the murdered girl, but is it Rachel?
Ali is left changing tack when she realises she can’t afford to take legal action and instead offers to support Jai, if he lets her see Archie, which Megan encourages Jai to do.

Debbie is furious when she discovers her client’s flash car is missing and Aaron’s suspicions are later confirmed when he finds Ross taking out parts from the stolen vehicle. Enraged, he tells Ross he is done with their business, unaware that Pete has overhead the whole thing. He’s still sore over Ross’ flirtation with Debbie, but surely he wouldn’t shop his own brother to the police?
