"Amanda", growls Peter, as he thrusts his crotch in the direction of the cupboard under the sink. "What's going on?" Well, Kelli has a fair idea - of course - and covers by saying that Amanda has got his wedding gift hidden in there. To be fair, if we were to marry Amanda, we can't think of a more ideal present than a lifetime's supply of morphine to numb the pain. But anyway, Peter happily accepts this explanation. That afternoon, Ethan calls Amanda to arrange a rendezvous and get the stuff sold; Kelli insists on tagging along. And once the exchange is complete, a frazzled Amanda heads back to her car.This is Kelli's cue to put her head above the parapet and make her presence "known" to Ethan - who fakes a panic and tries to clamber through the car window. Amanda hits the accelerator; Ethan loses balance; and the next thing we hear is his head hitting the tarmac with a crack. Kelli runs out and checks him for a pulse before announcing that Ethan is dead! Amanda can't believe that this is happening; she puts her foot to the floor and we don't see her for dust. As soon as their car is out of sight, though, Ethan picks himself up and dusts himself down. Yes, it was part of the plan all along...Strictly ballroom

"Haven't you heard?" asks Colleen, as everybody's blood runs cold. Why does that phrase always fill everybody in town with such dread? Well, Colleen didn't learn her lesson from the Christmas pageant and has decided to hold the hospital ball at the Surf Club now that it's looking for a new venue. She needs all hands on deck, even though most hands would probably rather be wrapped around the woman's neck. Rachel and Kim are particularly narked that they're going to be missing out on their planned afternoon together. Anyway, everyone reluctantly pitches in. (We like the fact that one of the proposed decorations for this healthcare fundraiser is a comedy skeleton left over from Hallowe'en. Nice.) During the afternoon, Kit keeps receiving mysterious messages from an old boyfriend of hers called James. There'll be more on this to follow, we're sure, as they seem to be putting her in a bad mood. Everyone else's spirits, meanwhile, also wilt as Colleen continues her bossy tirade. However, after falling from a stepladder, Kim decides to get out of it by pretending that he's broken his ankle. Obviously, it'll take everybody in the room to get him to hospital (wink, wink). This devious little trick works - and Kim and Rachel get their afternoon together after all.Peter has Faith

When Amanda gets home, she's as white as a sheet. We dread to think how much panstick the make-up department had to use in order to cover up her perma-tan. Kelli promises her sister that she'll deal with the "body"; let's just hope that she doesn't try and hide that under the kitchen sink as well. As the girls remain in mid-fit, Peter appears with a mysterious woman and introduces her as Faith, their new wedding planner.

He hired her to help Amanda as he hates seeing her so stressed. (Perhaps he should have hired a bodyguard instead.) Amanda is left with no choice but to play along as Kelli heads off to meet up with Ethan. "How do I look?" he asks. "Not bad for a dead man", she replies. "I'll let you know when you can come out and play again." Later, Kelli tells Mandy that she's hidden the body in the bush. "It's all taken care of", she smiles, as the hairs on the back of our necks stand up. "We're in this together now." Amanda gets teary with gratitude; what would she do without her sister? Have a semi-normal life, we suppose. But this is Home and Away, kids, and we couldn't have that...
