6371: Summer and Andrew take time apart

Published Apr 21 2012, 00:01 BST  |  By Daniel Kilkelly

Seeing Andrew enjoying his success, Summer decides not to push him into resolving their issues, giving him space instead. While she worries about their relationship, she's somewhat buoyed when she receives her first pay cheque as a journalist. However, Summer's excitement is undermined when she sees Andrew dejected because he has to continue working at Lassiters to pay back Paul.

Hoping to prove she's there for him, Summer sacrifices her pay cheque to clear Andrew's debt. But, when he has an adverse reaction to her gesture, the fundamental issues in their relationship finally rise to the surface and Summer suggests they should take a break. To her surprise, Andrew agrees. While it's clear they're both miserable in their decision, they remain stubborn and push on with their lives.

Meanwhile, Paul continues trying to prove that Ajay's stance on law and order will backfire, but is thwarted when Susan's research suggests police station closures don't necessarily result in crime increases. Desperate to find a new angle, Paul sends Susan to learn more about the community centre itself.

While there, Susan finds herself excited by Ajay's ideas and returns to Paul to announce he's on his own - Ajay's won her over. While Paul fumes at Ajay's win, he's spots a new plan of attack when he hears that Tash is planning to throw a house party. How will Paul use this to his advantage?
