Home and Away spoilers: Is Brody Morgan making the right decision?
Brody is annoyed when his siblings Justin and Tori tell him he's making a mistake leaving the Bay with Simone. But are they right?
There were Morgan family fireworks when the truth first came out that Brody Morgan had been cheating on his wife Ziggy with his then trainee chef, Simone Bedford.
But, despite facing opposition from friends and family, Brody and Simone have vowed to stay together and start afresh by leaving Summer Bay.
However, Brody's siblings Justin and Tori are not impressed by his big decision and think he's making a mistake. Brody is angry by their lack of support but is determined to stick to his plans with or without their blessing and puts his restaurant Salt up for sale!
Can the Morgan family find a way to call a truce before it all ends in bad blood?
Meanwhile, Bella Nixon is struggling at Summer Bay High School now that support teacher, Simone, has quit her job in the fallout from the graffiti incident.
Bella, who was responsible for the vandalism, realises she only has herself to blame and has now driven away Simone, who was one of her few friends/supporters when she first came back to school.
Stressed, Bella refuses to do her schoolwork or engage with new support teacher, Roo Stewart. Is Bella in danger of returning to her rebellious ways?
And, elsewhere, Justin Morgan and Leah Patterson might be friends with benefits. But how will Leah react when Justin points out they've definitely lost the friendship part?
Home and Away continues weekdays at 1:15pm and 6:00pm on Channel 5
