The tensions intensify when Leah tries to help Alf (Ray Meagher) and Roo Stewart (Georgie Parker) with their own dramas at the Surf Club.
After Susie took sponsorship money under false pretences, the Surf Club is facing serious scrutiny and a possible fraud investigation.
As Alf and Roo consider their options, Leah shows her support. However, Justin (James Stewart) is annoyed that she isn t focusing more on their own problems, which leads to a row between the pair.
Things get worse when Justin crosses paths with Susie s jilted partner John Palmer (Shane Withington) and bitterly blames him for everything. Leah is not impressed, so Justin seeks an escape by heading to the beach.
