Plots(1)
After the tragedy, the town has turned against Matt Mitcham. Jamie's mother, Simone, is prepared to testify against him and there are others willing to join her. Tui's baby is due. Robin is more worried than ever, how will Tui manage alone? Robin meets Al ready to confront him about the episode with Matt on the lake. Al reveals that Matt is ready to give a confession but wants to give it to her alone. Prepared with recording equipment and police back up, Robin goes to hear Matt's confession. His revelation is not what she has been suspecting. Back with Johnno, Robin has to confront her new reality. Though they want to defy what they've been told they can't shake the pollution of Matt's information.
Robin goes to Al at the police station; she wants to go after Matt hard. She wants to push through with her belief that he can be convicted. Al listens, sympathetic, but then insists another policeman witness the conversation. Matt's confession has jeopardized Robin's neutrality. With no recourse, no action left to take, Robin is desperate. Drinking herself to a standstill, she tries to take her own life. When even these efforts fail, she finds herself in front of GJ, who tells her to lie down like a cat and sleep - heal herself. Matt is at his wits' end. Ranting at his sons, he heads off on his own to find Tui. Near despair, Robin summons all she has left to get to Tui before Matt. Nothing, though, can prepare her for where she will have to go or what she will have to see. Acting on instinct she heads off to confront the dark creator alone where the investigation reaches its shocking conclusion.
