Redfurn Now

Grace (Leah Purcell) and Wesley (Alec Doomadgee) haven't had a holiday for years - with two kids and Wesley's work, there hasn't been time. Now they're off on the holiday of a lifetime and the taxi is waiting to take them to the airport. Grace just needs to pop back into the house for one last thing when the phone rings. It's her nephew Tyler - his mother Lilly is off her meds and raving, and he and his little sister Maddi are desperate for help. Wesley can't believe her sister is messing things up for them again, but Grace knows she has to help, nobody else will. She'll be back in time to make the flight. But Lilly is in no mood to cooperate and Grace reluctantly has to have her committed. As the police depart, Grace looks at the kids - now what's she going to do? She calls Wesley and explains she can still make the flight if she can get one of her other sisters to look after the kids for a week or two. She won't be long. She finds a place for Maddi but as Tyler is turned away by one family member after another, it's clear that Lilly is a destructive force that they're all wary of. Grace takes Tyler home. The holiday is off. And more than that, they need to face the fact that if Lilly is ever to get better she needs extended care. Which means that the family will need to foster Tyler and Maddi longer term. But the next morning Tyler is gone and Wesley wants to leave it to the police. He's unable to come to terms with the fact that Grace has put somebody else's kids before her own, and threatens to leave if she brings Lilly's kids back. Grace finds Maddi and Tyler at the hospital and is astonished to discover that they walked ten kilometres to see their mum. Something her own spoilt kids would never do for her. When Grace and the children arrive back home Wesley is packing his bags, but it's Grace who leaves with Maddi and Tyler. They clean up Lilly's house and settle in. Wesley arrives to ask Grace to come back home and she agrees, but this time it's going to be on her terms.

In her mid fifties, Coral (Tessa Rose), works in a food van, which sometimes brings her into contact with victims of abuse, leading her to the mistaken conclusion that her daughter's bruised face is the result of more than just an accident. As a result, Coral and her daughter Rosie don't talk. On her way home from the pet shop one day, Coral is knocked down by a bunch of teenage boys in a stolen car. One of them, Danny (Rhimi Johnson Page), hadn't wanted to be there in the first place and instead of running off like the others, he checks to see if she is okay. He calls for an ambulance and the police are able to trace the call back to Danny's mobile. He won't dob his mates in and so takes the blame and is sent to jail. Back at home Coral starts having dizzy spells and her granddaughter Julie (Shari Sebbens) is reluctantly brought in to help. Coral complains about her daughter Rosie "I knew she wouldn't come" but Julie just wants her mum and grandmother to get on again - forgive and forget. When the spells get worse, Coral is admitted to hospital and Julie agrees to stay on to look after the house until Coral is better.
