Episode 5225

Unable to hide her lack of medical knowledge any longer, Charlotte tells Boyd the truth: she's a fraud and she's fleeing town. She urges him to call the police lest they think he was in on her scam. As Boyd tries to process the information, his neighbours are putting the final pieces of the puzzle together themselves. Rosie raises the question of whether Boyd knew what Charlotte was doing and Steph vehemently defends her step-son. As the others talk to the police, Steph calls Boyd to warn him. However, instead of leaving Charlotte to her fate, desperate Boyd sees a chance to change both of their lives for the better. Given that everyone hates him for what he did to Janae, he suggests they leave town and make a new life together.

As he gathers provisions at the General Store he overhears the kids discussing Terrence's murder. He finally realises that not only might Charlotte have been responsible but that she might also have implicated him by sneakily getting his fingerprints on the murder weapon. Despite the revelation, Boyd still chooses to go on the run with his con-artist boss. He leaves a note for Steph, draws his life savings out of the bank and heads out on the open road...

Meanwhile, Zeke outs Ringo, telling Rachel that his new S.N.A.G (sensative new age guy) routine is all an act. Poor Ringo suffers Rachel's wrath as she refuses to believe that he's now completely for real, particularly as he choses just the wrong moment to reveal that he was held down a year at school and is actually seventeen, not sixteen. To Rachel's amazement, everyone else is on Ringo's side. Bree and Lolly gently explain that she can be so intimidating they're not at all surprised her own boyfriend is scared of telling her the truth.
