Cleaver is roped into defending an old flame, and is in trouble in his tax case. But when Missy tells him she is marrying David, his world collapses.

Missy and fiancé Joshua Floyd are Australia's most newsworthy couple; but luckily for Cleaver, when his woes are at their worst, he's given the case of the decade.

Red and David's affair is front page news; Missy decides she wants marriage and children; Cleaver is facing the consequences of the dark path he trod to recover his father's estate.

Cleaver is charged with manslaughter; his journalist girlfriend betrays him; and Kirsty wants his debt paid in full. His strategy is to have Cal McGregor upgrade the charge to murder.

Cleaver defends David and Barney sees it as a betrayal; Fuzz gets Missy drugs and then she seduces him. Wendy has a date with an old flame; and a free David announces he's standing for the Senate.
