Episode 7048 (9th December 2014)

Plot
Belle seems determined to carry on as normal as her family discuss who might have damaged her painting. She plugs in her headphones and heads out, soon ending up in the woods. Belle then dials the number for her new school and starts shouting abuse, telling the person on the other end that she is never going back to their school. Afterwards, Belle steals a bottle of vodka and goes on an angry rampage in David's shop. Lachlan is warned to stay away from Belle by Chrissie, but he can't resist using his camera to snap what he sees going on. Later, with her parents inside worrying how to help their daughter, Belle is out feeding the family pig Hamish and at last the reasons for her recent behaviour start to become apparent. Meanwhile, the gossip hits the village that Harriet has lost her job as vicar and Brenda wants to start a petition to save her position. Ashley gets in a bind when he fails to admit to Harriet that he has been offered it. The timing is bad when he eventually does come clean and Harriet is upset. Later, Harriet overhears Ashley's true wishes and they come to an agreement. Elsewhere, Bernice and Nicola's health kick starts well, but ends badly when a plate of nachos leads them both astray. Also, Eric plants the germ of an idea in David's mind.
