Mali has reached out to the Allens, wanting to return the $8,000 that Iluka

“borrowed” from them. He reminds his brother that it’s better than hiding from the Allens forever.

A woman approaches Mackenzie and Levi at the surf club, asking if they know

Mali Hudson because she’s looking to pick up a board. Mackenzie gives her their address, but the woman’s intentions seem sinister when she returns to two men waiting outside and confirms she now knows where Mali lives.

Iluka brings Kirby a rose and he confides in her that he’s considering giving up on his footy dream. Kirby is sympathetic and soon they’re both leaning in for a kiss. Not long after, they’re emerging from her bedroom – and she strongly suggests that he ignore his missed calls from Mali to spend time with her instead.

Mackenzie and Levi head home with a similar agenda, but both get a shock to find the house has been trashed. The woman they met earlier at the club is there to greet them, and insists they take a seat and surrender their phones as her henchman threatens them with a knife. They’re the Allens – and they’re here to get their money back.

Mali returns home to find Mackenzie tied up and gagged, but he says he’ll talk about Iluka if they cut her free. They agree, but as they untie the couple, Levi lunges at their captors and a physical fight ensues.

As Mac rushes to her lover’s side, she’s horrified to realise that amidst the scuffle, he’s been stabbed. She pleads with the Allens to call an ambulance, but they refuse to help until they can see Iluka. Mali’s the only one who his brother will listen to, so it’s down to him to make the call. Can they get help for Levi in time?
