The Flying Doctors : An ex-boyfriend of Chris', journalist Darcy Adams, arrives in the Crossing and quickly alienates all those around him. He tries to rekindle his relationship with Chris, and although Tom is jealous, she makes it blatantly clear to Darcy that she is now with Tom and consequently not interested in him. Wealthy but naive son of a millionaire Adrian Bailey goes out cycling around the outback. However his lack of knowledge about the environment soon results in disaster. Meanwhile, Tom has to decide between going to the aid of Adrain, who has been warned not to go in to the outback alone, and a seven year old boy with severe burns. Tom decides to prioritise treating the boy and unfortunately Adrian dies. Darcy is more than content to portray Tom as an evil villain when he writes an expose on the RFDS. Later, Adrian's father gets wind of events and decides he wants to sue Tom and the RFDS for failing to treat his son. However, Sharon tries to intervene to prevent legal action being taken. Baxter takes an interest in an old and vulnerable couple's property and tries to convince them to sell, even though it is all they have left in life.
