After their narrow escape from the gas-filled caravan, will Dean agree to sign commitment papers and have Karen sent for a psych assessment?

Willow Harris and policewoman Chelsea Campbell are just in time to rescue a woozy Dean Thompson and his mum Karen from the gas-filled van at the Caravan Park. Both are taken to hospital and Dean is shocked by the way Karen attacked him and almost caused a gas explosion.

Dean's policeman pal Colby Thorne has paperwork he can sign to have Karen committed for a psych assessment. But when Karen gets wind that Dean is trying to have her "locked-up in a loony bin", will she do another runner?

Also that day, Colby has a heart-to-heart with ex-fiancee Chelsea and decides to finally tell her the truth about the crime he was involved with before he quit the River Boys surf gang and joined the police.

But how will Chelsea react to the shock bombshell that Colby ran off leaving pal Dean to take the rap for the crime?
