Storyline

Romeo's penniless misery increases when he finds a note from Mink, who left without paying back a cent, so he gratefully accepts Sid's offer to pay for movie festival tickets. Hearing mob baron Geoffrey King is hell-bent on the restaurant and Heath on serving him, Darryl tells Charlie getting away may took much time and they should take Heath along. Palmer's complaint about Charlie's laxness soon leads to Heath being arrested, caught red-handed with drugs. Harvey's dirty campaign style only forges Alf's team.

"You might have outgrown this place, mate, but it's my home"

As ever, it's hard to tell where our sympathies are meant to lie:Are we really meant to find Charlie and Brax likable as they act in a smug and superior fashion towards Heath?While he's certainly in the wrong here, he's covered for both of them when they've done wrong stuff in the past.Charlie as a police officer continues to be a joke and you wonder why her resignation hasn't been fast tracked.John is on excellent form and it's nice to see Summer, although less nice that it's implied she's involved with drugs.

There's some stuff brewing here as Alf clashes with Harvey and encounters dodgy type Peter.Romeo's financial worries mean he's disappointingly quick to consider Peter's offer, after doing a good job during the rest of the episode.And Sid and Roo get a nice moment together.

The dragged out storyline of Miles realising Elijah has feelings for Leah and wondering whether they're reciprocated doesn't really grab the attention(and again, Marilyn's behaviour earlier in the year seems to be forgotten as Miles calls her "too nice").But it does seem like it's building up to something.

There's a cliffhanger ending too but it seems to require people to care what happens to Charlie and Brax so it's actually the most forgettable part of the episode.
