Ryder Jackson (played by Lukas Radovich) has been released from hospital after his near-death experience on Home and Away (1:15pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

However, things aren't exactly peaceful back home at Summer Bay House.

Ryder's granddad, Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher) is still on the warpath, determined to take action against Theo Poulos (Matt Evans) for burying Ryder in an underground coffin as part of a video prank.

Ryder truly believed he was going to die when his oxygen supply ran out and he even recorded a video message, saying his goodbyes to his nearest and dearest.

Alf is equally angry with Ryder when he finds out the part he played in the money-making prank.

What was Ryder thinking risking his life like that?

Reeling from Alf's judgement, Ryder is suddenly struck by a panic attack...

With Leah Patterson (Ada Nicodemou) still away visiting her son, VJ in Cyprus, it's been left to her fella, Justin Morgan (James Stewart) to keep an eye on her troublesome nephew, Theo Poulos (Matt Evans).

Unfortunately, Theo has been the cause of a massive fallout between the Stewart and the Poulos-Patterson families.

Justin has so far failed to mend bridges with angry Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher).

Alf is out to get justice for his grandson, Ryder Jackson (Lukas Radovich) who almost died after being buried alive by Theo for a money-making video prank.

After threatening Theo in public, angry Alf approaches policeman Cash.

He wants to press charges against Theo... for ATTEMPTED MURDER!
