Will he prove to be a bad influence for Dex?
25-31 JANUARY
Just as he's about to discover the mystery intruder, Andrew is interrupted by Dex and JJ arriving home from New York and the intruder manages to escape.
With Dex looking forward to Andrew staying over, JJ is pleased to be reunited with Nell, but that all changes when they stumble on the unknown house guest, who turns out to be their Uncle Taye, Remi’s brother!
Explaining his reasons for escaping Apollo Bay, Taye tells Dex and JJ that knowing their house was empty, he decided to lay low there.
When Dex and JJ manage to convince a disappointed but oblivious Andrew to let them look a[er themselves, he heads back home, keeping Taye’s presence a secret. But while Dex remains excited, Taye’s mischievous energy has JJ worried that keeping him hidden might be more trouble than it’s worth.
At school, JJ and Dex get a selfie from Taye, who’s made a minigolf course in their living room. But while Dex thinks it’s great, JJ’s worried about Andrew discovering their uncle and suggests they check in with Taye on their lunchbreak.
Arriving home to find the house in a mess and Taye absent, JJ’s worry grows and when they find him in The Waterhole, JJ expresses his concern but a laid-back Taye is unfazed.
Nell arrives, thrown to see JJ and Dex with a stranger, but they explain that Taye is Remi’s half-brother, but that Taye and Remi have a complicated relationship since their dad left Remi’s mum to be with Taye’s, which is why they’re hiding his presence in Erinsborough.
Returning to school JJ feels the strain of his lie when he talks to Remi over the phone, revealing that Andrew is taking them out for dinner. Dex tries to beg off to hang out with Taye, but JJ puts his foot down, leaving Dex unimpressed.
When Dex returns home, Taye offers him a beer. Wanting to seem cool in his uncle’s eyes, Dex throws caution to the wind and takes a drink.
