Synopsis[]

Roo baits Ailsa into hitting her after her argument with Alf. Ailsa almost does but holds back, seeing as she knows Roo wants that. Ailsa confides in her sister in law Barbara. Alf wallows in self pity at the liquor store. He has a few beers by himself. Narelle reckons her aunt Colleen is going through the change. Ailsa has left a letter for Alf but Roo took it. Ailsa says she left him a letter and it transpires that Roo took it when Alf denies he saw any letter. Roo says Ailsa hit her. Alf takes Roo's side. He compares her to what she did to her father, Harold O'Rourke. Alf says he better watch himself around Ailsa in case he gets a knife through the shoulder blades. He reads the letter after finding it in the draw and apologises to her for what he said. Ailsa says she is leaving him anyway as she cannot live with someone who thinks she is a killer. She says she will get divorce proceedings ready.
