A reluctant Sky explains that Stingray is the real father of her child to Dylan as he visits her in hospital. The news shocks Dylan to the core and sees he get slowly to his feet and leave, telling Sky that he is going to confront Stingray. Sky attempts to tell him that Stingray is unaware and that she wished to break the news. Dylan brushes her concerns aside and returns to Ramsay Street to track Stingray down. He finds Stingray arriving back from his camping outing with Rachel. He steers Stingray aside and drives him out to the coast under the guise of spending time together ahead of his wedding to Sky. Initially Dylan acts as though nothing is wrong and leads Stingray into a sense of comfort which sees him reminiscing about their escapades in Colac when younger. As night draws in the pair find themselves in a small seating area on a rooftop. Stingray continues to chat amiably to Dylan, though Dylan’s face darkens and his response is deadpan as he turns on his brother to confront him about sleeping with Sky.
Susan embraces the Dingoes and emerges from her room wearing a hat, scarf and waving pom-poms to show her support for Zeke. Zeke attempts to explain that he would retain more dignity if she stayed behind. Susan’s dejection as he stutters this out sees Zeke resolve waver but he leaves the house without her. Moments later he reappears and allows Susan to tag along, making her promise that she wont cheer or acknowledge him whilst at the game.
Karl finds himself attempting to track down Stingray after Sky tells him about the fall out from telling Dylan the truth. Karl attempts to brush away Sky’s worries, but listens as she tells him that she is fearful about what Dylan will do to his brother. Having tried asking Rachel for the area where Stingray and Dylan have gone, Karl, Susan and Rachel join the Timmins in number 26 as the concern about Dylan and Stingray’s disappearance grows.
Zeke finds strong opposition as he takes to the football pitch in the form of a large oponant who does his best to prevent Zeke from playing well. Zeke copes with the pressure and comes close to scoring as the final horn goes. The dingoes win the game and the celebrations spill over to the General Store. Despite Bree appearing at the game, she replies coolly to Zeke as he spots her in the General Store.
