However, as a devastated Ricky is given the news, Ash heads to the safe house where he comes face-to-face with Brax, who has actually survived the accident.

As Ash explains to him that everyone thinks he is dead, Brax reveals his plans to fake his own death in order to keep Ricky and his baby son Casey safe from dangerous Gunno.

Despite reservations from Ash, Brax is determined to follow through with his decision and says his goodbyes to Ash before heading out of Summer Bay forever. With Ricky believing that Brax has died, how will she cope in the wake of his exit?
