Biggest Disappointment

Episode 6
Written by Dylan River, Samuel Nuggin-Paynter and Sophie Miller
Directed by Dylan River

Robyn and Gidge arrive in Port Augusta, her dad’s last known address, where a trip to the beach brings them closer together. Robert tries to escape from the detectives as they hunt for Robyn.

Robyn and Gidge arrive in Port Augusta at Steve’s last known address, and unknowingly mistake a drug dealer named Spider for Robyn’s father. Thinking they are customers, Spider tells them to come back later and Gidge suggests they visit a nearby beach he knows, where Robyn sees the ocean for the first time. As they swim in the sea together, Gidge is hooked by Penguin, who is fishing nearby and Robyn discovers he has an esky full of drugs.

On the road, the detectives, Mick and Tracey have insisted Robert accompany them in their pursuit of Robyn and Gidge. Thinking he has murdered Maxine, Robert is nervous and difficult, rousing Tracey’s suspicions. At Spider’s house, the cops, unaware he is dealing drugs, inform Spider he is the father of a fugitive and decide to wait for Robyn to show up. Robert, having seen his vehicle at the beach, makes multiple attempts to get away from the detectives, but is thwarted by Tracey.

Robyn and Gidge dance along the beach where they share a kiss and retreat to the privacy of the caravan. They force the lock and quickly discover Maxine’s dead body inside. Robyn is distraught and after they argue over who is truly to blame, Robyn storms off, taking Ringer’s cup. In a panic, Gidge calls his Mum and leaves a message that he is coming home to her in Adelaide.

Penguin turns up at the house and reveals to everyone that he saw Robyn and Gidge at the jetty. To get there first and cover his tracks, Robert slips away unseen. When the cops catch up with him at the beach they find that Gidge and Robyn are gone. Robyn has walked back to the house, thinking her father will help her. She meets Spider but when she shows him Ringer’s cup, she realises he is not her father. Spider tells her the elusive Steve is in Adelaide.
