Lucas is stunned to find he's suspected of torching Michael's Sandman but Chris has a hard time convincing him to get a lawyer. Lucas approaches Toadie, only to find his friend doubts his innocence, and when Toadie arranges for Ajay to represent him, Lucas rejects the offer. When Toadie eventually talks Lucas round, Ajay informs him that, because of his prior convictions, he could be in serious trouble for something he didn't even do. Michael learns the police have one main suspect and he immediately assumes it's Tash. Emilia persuades him to sit tight but he then learns the prime suspect is actually Lucas and immediately claims responsibility for the crime to protect his mate and his daughter. Tash witnesses this and Michael hopes she'll soften towards him but she lashes out and claims she wants nothing to do with him. Summer tries to give Tash a distraction from her problems by getting her help to give Karl a makeover but, though she gets a momentary lift, Tash is brought down to earth when she learns Lucas is the prime suspect for destroying the Sandman. Will she do the right thing?
