Rocco is cemented to the spot as Sally sits straight up in bed, shouts "Hello!" in an Anneka Rice voice, and starts spinning her head through 360 degrees like Linda Blair in The Exorcist. (Actually, it doesn't happen quite like that - but the more squeamish among you would be advised to avert your gaze when they pull the tube out from her throat. Ick.) Relief washes over Alf, Morag, Ric and Brad as the nurses dash in to help, but Rocco is not quite so chuffed. "With any luck, Sally will be able to tell us exactly who did this", hoots Morag, while rubbing her hands and wondering how much cash she'll be able to wring out of the impending court case. However, it doesn't seem like Rocco has much to fear at the moment. The trauma has caused Sally to forget the events leading up to her attack - and she's delighted to see Rocco after Ric cajoles him into going back to her bedside. She even invites him to live at Summer Bay House on a permanent basis! "She doesn't remember anything", Rocco declares, when he next gets together with his ugly bruv. "They say she might never remember." Might is not good enough for Johnny, though. "So," he spits, "you think you're going to live happily ever after with the woman you tried to murder?" Good point. But this is Home and Away, people, and stranger things have happened...We thought we'd seen the back of Cassie and Macca. Hadn't you? We were almost expecting them to make excuses about not coming to Sally's funeral should it have turned out that she'd need one. However, we get to witness them settling into their new home together. As they mess about with fabric swatches and flatpack furniture with pieces missing, we're reminded of that Kath and Kim episode where "Britt" and "Kimmooie" decide to renovate. However, it turns out to be no laughing matter when Cassie catches wind of Sally's hospitalisation. She dashes back to Summer Bay, leaving a note on the oven and that evening's dinner safely in the freezer. Macca, whose facial hair we're glad to say has become ever so slightly less ridiculous, is clearly annoyed when he comes home from work to find that his tea isn't on the table. He follows Cassie to the hospital where he watches the throng with jealousy in his eyes. He mistakenly thought he'd won the tug of love with Sally - is there further trouble looming? Ash is back in Summer Bay - and he's brought the wife and kids. Yep, that's right! He's a married man and he's been stringing Martha along ever since he met her. Naturally, as she's none the wiser, Martha is delighted to see him. Morag, though, is less than thrilled - and not without good reason. Ash has barely said hello when he turns around to spot his wife Rianna and their two kids tearing up the path towards him, clutching the wallet that he accidentally left behind. A keen-eyed Morag, whose constant bad temper makes her act like Anne Robinson with piles, spots Ash hurrying them back to their car and out of sight. Just before Rianna drives off, Morag introduces herself and innocently questions her about who she was just speaking to. "You mean my husband?" Rianna replies with a smile. Morag pulls a face like she's laying an egg - but that's not anywhere near as scary as the scowl that adorns her much when she confronts Ash later on that day. "Please do not add insult to injury with more of your grubby little lies", she spits, after Ash tries to tell her that Rianna is his sister. "I suggest you start talking", she continues. "Now." Hurray for Morag. How is Ash going to get out of this one?
