211"Tell Her, It's Over!"Geoff BennettTony McNamara6 August 2018 (2018-08-06)278221-21726,000[1]
Three months have passed; Jim has died of a heart attack and the family express a fond farewell at his wake, while Hugh, already knowing he has inherited the property, discovers that the farm is in millions of dollars of debt. Struggling with grief, Meryl puts on a brave front, but is plagued with nightmares about Jim's death and avoids sleep. Hayley is heavily pregnant, Matt and Ajax are at war over how the farm should be run, and Hugh and Penny give into temptation and sleep together, but it is only short-lived as Hugh's probation expires and his license to practice is reinstated and he is offered his old job in Sydney; however, with his current family crisis, he decides to temporarily stay on in Whyhope.
222"Isn't She Lovely"Geoff BennettTony McNamara13 August 2018 (2018-08-13)278221-22671,000[2]
Having decided to stay in Whyhope for the time being, Hugh is forced to take on responsibilities at the farm. Following a drunken night at the glamping site, Matt lands himself in trouble when he is informed by Darren that his liquor license doesn't extend beyond the bar, therefore the alcohol had been sold illegally; however, Matt and Charlie discover that Darren is corrupt when he takes a bribe instead of reporting the incident. Penny is trying to cope with the fact that she and Hugh slept together and now he is gone, but things become awkward when she realises that Hugh never actually left. Meryl is still avoiding sleep, so Hugh finally steps in and offers help. Hayley's life is in danger as she is diagnosed with pre-eclampsia forcing Hugh to perform an emergency C-section which leads to Hayley giving birth of a premature baby boy.
233"Shock Rock"Lucy GaffyLiz Doran20 August 2018 (2018-08-20)278221-23684,000[3]
It is the opening day of Hugh and Penny's new cardiac clinic, but the day does not turn out as planned as Hugh's ex-wife, Harriet, turns up and announces that she is pregnant and that he has two options − either she stays in Sydney and they raise the baby together, or they cut contact and she returns to the U.S. When he comes clean to Penny, this puts an end to their relationship. Charlie's father, Carlito, arrives with a 15-year-old girl named Ivy who is the daughter of his current girlfriend. Hayley is still disturbed over the pre-eclampsia incident and believes that she is being punished by God for giving birth to a child out of wedlock; however, she soon snaps out of it and announces she and Ajax have decided to call the baby Jim. Meryl decides to give Jim's clothes to a charity shop, a decision she later regrets; but after buying them all back, she and her three sons hold a ceremony by burning his clothes as a way of saying goodbye.

Matt realises how much he misses Charlie, but is torn between his love for her and his growing love for April; Charlie becomes aware that something is wrong and decided to come home. Hugh is determined to move to Sydney, while Harriet is intent on inducing labour. Hugh and Penny are called to the scene of an accident involving a cattle truck which has tipped over. While there, Penny issues him with an ultimatum − if he remains in Whyhope, they can be together, but he chooses his life in Sydney. Hugh returns to the hospital to meet his baby daughter; everyone grows concerned when Harriet flees the hospital, leaving her baby behind. Meryl continues to sabotage Ajax's plans to start up his cemetery business on the farm, for which she is fighting a losing battle. Hugh has no other option but to remain in Whyhope; Harriet is gone and he is left with his daughter.
