Everyone was just having a bit of fun; it was no big deal. But now, things in Devonport were getting complicated. Sophie was finding it harder and harder to tell who was a friend and who was an enemy.
After a moment of silence, Angelo finally spoke up, “Sophie, I've got to be straight with you. I was asked to stay by your side, but I can't tell you who put me up to it. I swear, I never meant to betray anyone. And about Kiran showing up—honestly, I have no idea what’s going on.”

“Rick, I need to see the surveillance footage from last night at the Burke Estate garden.”
Rick sounded apologetic, “I’m sorry, Ms. Sophie, but the surveillance system's still down for maintenance. We can’t pull last night’s footage.”
Sophie’s face darkened. “Got it,” she said quietly before hanging up.
Angelo asked, “So, what now?”
Sophie stared at him for a moment, looking like she wanted to say something but then stopped herself. “You…”

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
