When Levi finds out that Iluka is also now in hospital after he was kidnapped and violently beaten, he worries that he has somehow made things even worse for Mali. Mac, however, isn’t in the mood to forgive her housemate for bringing trouble to their door.
Rose Delaney later reveals to Bree Cameron that the Allens have been charged with attempted murder and false imprisonment. She adds that she was shocked to see Mali teaming up with River Boys Rory Templeton and Dingo Lewis to violently fight with the Allens, as she has never seen this side of her boyfriend before.
Meanwhile, Mali and Iluka are upset with their sister Elandra for reporting their revenge plan to the police, pointing out that the Hudsons don’t call the cops on each other.
But Elandra is firm that she did the right thing, telling Mali that he could have died if she hadn’t got involved.

Taking in the message, Iluka decides to take responsibility for his mistakes and he heads to apologise to Levi. While Levi accepts his apology, Mackenzie isn’t so impressed and she orders Iluka out of her house.
