Meanwhile, as the police start asking questions about the break-in at the Diner, Ari Parata (Rob Kipa-Williams) is paranoid the Parata family will somehow become suspects because of their past.

Ari's fears are further fuelled when he notices some strange behaviour between his younger brother, Tane (Ethan Browne) and their teenage nephew, Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo).

After overhearing Leah's description of the intruder, Ari becomes certain the culprit is someone VERY close to home...

Elsewhere in Summer Bay, Ryder Jackson (Lukas Radovich) comes clean to his dad, Evan Slater (Cameron Daddo) that he convinced him to play the music gig at Salt under false pretences.

Ryder admits he knows the truth about Evan's terminal illness and wants to make as many happy memories of his dad before it's too late.

However, Evan doesn't react well to Ryder's honesty.

Feeling guilty that he didn't get the chance to tell Ryder the truth himself, Evan decides he can't put his son through any more heartbreak.

Without a word to anyone, Evan packs his bags and prepares to skip town...
