Chrissie reports her car stinks but Debbie states it'll be gone soon. At the Police Station, Dan continues to protest that he didn't beat Josh up as he doesn't have the guts. DC Croker confronts Dan about the bag with tape and a crowbar inside. Kerry is less than pleased when PC Swirling turns up to search Dale Head. Matt is uncomfortable with Charity's behaviour around him. Victoria hides when she spots Chrissie entering the pub. Rebecca shows Chrissie the bag of prawns she found underneath the passenger seat. Chrissie asks Charity where Victoria is, Charity pretends she doesn't know but when Chrissie throws the stinking bags of prawns behind the bar, Victoria makes a noise and is forced to stand up. She explains everything was Zak's fault. Rebecca confronts Debbie about the prawns and questions why she did it. Debbie admits she's fed up of Chrissie looking down on her and Rebecca sees the funny side. Lisa, unaware of what really happened yesterday, decides to pamper Zak until Chrissie and Victoria barge in and confront Zak. The police find Dan's bag with the crowbar in it. Tracy appears as the police leave and assures Kerry that Dan won't be locked up but Kerry worries Dan may actually be guilty. DC Croker charges Dan with assault. Zak explains he didn't know what vegan meant. Chrissie informs Zak and Lisa that she plans to sue but Lisa reminds her it wasn't that long ago that her son drove an uninsured car into their pig sty. After Lisa pushes Chrissie out of Wishing Well Cottage, Zak admits to furious Lisa that he also ran over Alfie. Carly tells Charity that she has no chance with Matt. Tracy rushes into the the pub and informs Eric and David that Dan has been charged. Whilst David is at the bar, Eric notices something is up with Tracy, and she admits she was the one who attacked Josh. Chrissie orders Lachlan to keep his distance from Belle. Eric demands to know what possessed Tracy to attack Josh. Tracy explains she hoped to get Josh to confess on tape. She plays the tape of the confrontation and states she though Josh was going to attack her. Rebecca proposes to Debbie that they go into business together using the Whites' high end cars.
