Synopsis[]
Pippa Fletcher is alerted that her brother Danny King has tried to kill himself and his in Northern District Hospital, Yabbie Creek but it looks like he may be alright. The Fletchers make their way to the hospital the following morning where they meet Pippa and Danny's parents Bert and Coral King. Floss McPhee tells Sally Keating that suicide is not a game and she should not try and play it. She comforts Sally. Pippa familiarises herself with a vending machine at the hospital. She cannot figure it out at first. She even resorts to shaking the machine when a coin gets stuck. She shakes the machine and it then works. Pippa confesses about when Danny asked her to help him kill himself. Tom is quite angry with Danny. Tom suggests to Danny that he comes back with them to Summer Bay.
