HOME AND AWAY

While working at the juice bar for the day, Ryder crosses paths with Raffy and Coco leaving Salt, making him feel like an outsider. Picking up on the tension, Raffy suggests they make plans for the three of them like old times. This elates Ryder, but Coco is still weird about their break-up.

The next morning, Ryder is excited about making plans with Coco and Raffy, suggesting they could go for a swim or see a movie. However, every idea he makes, the girls have an excuse not to do. Coco suggests shopping in Yabbie Creek and Ryder deflates, telling the girls to go ahead without him. This leaves Ryder feeling even more on the outside and very bored.

In an attempt to lure Ryder out of his shell, Leah and Ben decide lifesaving might be a way to introduce him to a new interest – and some male friends his own age. Marilyn says John would be pleased about the new blood. Ryder turns down the idea – he’s got a better plan and heads off to join the gym, but immediately gets into strife on the bench press.
