Bree arrives at the hospital, to discover her emergency patient is Theo, rushed to hospital after being crushed with his own car by River Boy Gage. Sonny has been by his side but rises to confront Cash as he arrives. Why didn’t he come to their aid sooner?

This isn’t the place for an argument, and both are quickly ejected by nurse Dana. Cash forces Sonny to drop the attitude and give him all the information but Sonny didn’t actually witness anything, he had been dragged outside and given a hiding, meaning he wasn’t present during Theo’s moment of need. Dana clocks Sonny concealing the severity of his injuries and when Justin arrives to have a go at him, a mere hand to his chest has Sonny collapsing in pain. Bree and Dana make sure he’s taken care of, but Sonny’s a difficult patient, he’s far more concerned with updates on Theo’s critical condition…

Meanwhile, Bree calls for Levi – there’s bleeding in the sack around Theo’s heart and they’ll need to conduct a pericardiocentesis. Bree and Levi operate together, and Theo stabilises. Leah and Justin are distraught to learn of Theo’s condition and Justin doubles down on blaming Sonny, – he was egging Theo on the whole time. He expresses his anger toward Remi, but Remi defends Sonny. He argues that this is Theo’s own doing. He slept with a River Boy’s girlfriend. Their disagreement is interrupted by Theo’s medical alarms. Levi takes him into surgery and both Justin and Leah are left feeling someone has to pay for this. For Justin – that person is Sonny.

Convinced Gage is the culprit, Cash turns up at the River Boy warehouse where Gage, Lacey, Edmund and the River Boys are in total denial of ever hearing the name ‘Spanner’ (the name Sonny gave Cash). Proving there’s nothing to hide, Gage offers for himself, Lacey and Edmund (Spanner) to come into the station for questioning. Cash pulls a very confident Gage in first, but it’s clear that Lacey is the weakest link.
