Their flirty friendship quickly turned into a full-blown romance, much to the horror of Ryder's aunt, Roo Stewart.

After confronting her about stealing from Salt, Ryder told Jade that if she didn't confess then he would go to the police himself.

Of course Jade wasn't about to admit her crime and Ryder did the right thing and reported her.

However, Jade wasn't happy and planned the ultimate revenge.

While most people believe Ryder is innocent, the evidence is stacking up against him. And when Bella Nixon lashes out at him for his apparent crimes, Ryder starts to wonder how he is going to prove his innocence to a court if even his own friends don't believe him.
