In scenes airing this week in Australia, Richie has a frosty reunion with David, who is struggling to move on from the incident.

David actor Jeremy Lindsay Taylor told Australia's TV Week: "David cannot forgive Richie for what he has done.

"He gave him so many chances, showed him respect, believed in him and repeatedly turned a blind eye to his indiscretions, only to be shot by him!"

With his police career well and truly over, Richie sees a new opportunity: to win the Bronze Medallion race and land a job as a lifeguard.

In the race, he gets out in front of the competition, but he's distracted by girlfriend Abigail Fowler, as her sister Eden is in hospital.

Elsewhere, Justin Morgan has offered him a room, even though he's not got any money coming in. Leah Patterson-Baker is fuming about it, and Justin's decision also puts extra strain on their relationship with David.

Can Richie fix all the damage that he's done?
