Drowning her sorrows every chance she gets, Ziggy’s (Sophie Dillman) party-hard attitude is set to have potentially dangerous consequences – for Ziggy’s knight-in-shining armour, Dean (Patrick O’Connor).
Indeed, by week’s end, we see that Dean is fighting for his life following a shocking fight!
The drama begins to unfold when Ziggy throws back some drinks at the caravan park with out-of-towner Mark and his mates.
But when a drunken Mark makes a move on Ziggy, Dean – who has been keeping an eye on the proceedings from afar – intervenes.
“Ziggy really doesn’t want to feel alone,” says Sophie.
“She’s just had her marriage ripped apart, so she’s trying anything she can to distract herself, and she’s not in the mood to take advice from anyone.
“I think it’s really important to show all the different sides of a break-up – that’s what is real.”
Later that night, after walking an under-the-weather Ziggy safely home, Dean returns to the caravan park to find Mark and his friends ready for a fight.
As morning breaks, we see an unconscious Dean dropped off on the side of the road – only to be found early the next morning by a shocked Ben (Rohan Nichol).
But is Dean making a fatal mistake when he refuses to let Ben take him to the hospital?
