Cleaver's been hiding out in the country posing as a writer, but his cover's blown when Barney appears on Australian Story, complete with images of his best friend. It isn't long before Thompson's goons arrive on the scene.

Cleaver has been hiding out in the country for four months posing as a writer, but his cover is blown when a new acquaintance — a fan of Australian Story — insists they watch, and as Barney's odyssey unfolds on screen, inevitably his best friend Cleaver's photo appears as well. But Barney's partner Nicole is feeling betrayed when she's not mentioned at all.

Meanwhile, Missy blows into town on the back of a drug- fuelled sojourn in LA, with Cleaver nowhere to be found. As she searches for both Cleaver and a drug dealer, Barney and Nicole decide to intervene.

David and Scarlet's romance is blossoming, but her kids and are out to sabotage the relationship.

Meanwhile, as Opposition Leader, David has been speaking out about Thompson still being a free man, with witnesses disappearing and three judges recusing themselves.

Back in the bush, news spreads quickly about Cleaver's real identity, and it isn't long before Thompson's goons arrive on the scene.
