Today in Erinsborough…
Reeling from her father’s orders to abandon the search for her sister and return home, Reece takes comfort with Byron. Meanwhile, Paul is delighted to hear Reece will be packing her bags, but his joy is short-lived as it becomes clear Tess plans to be even more of a thorn in his side.
Deciding to defy her dad’s wishes, Reece confronts Tess, reiterating her determination to stay and find her sister. Tess reluctantly agrees to leave Reece to it, but not before letting her know about Conrad Sinclair’s poor health.

As the crucial moment arrives, the tensions finally boil over, and it all becomes too much for JJ. Stealing a motorbike, he disappears into the streets…
