FROM: episode 5319, orig AU air date 6/16/2011

BACKGROUND: Brax learned from Casey that Heath asked Casey to hire Romeo's boat for a fishing trip and told Casey that Brax wanted Casey to do this. In actuality, Heath wanted to use Romeo's boat to deliver drugs and Brax knew nothing about the plan. In this scene Heath comes up to Angelo's after closing and Brax tells him not to involve Casey in their criminal activities.

HIGHLIGHTS: Brax slaps Heath hard as soon as Heath gets in reach and Heath follows his typical pattern of not knowing, or claiming not to know, why Brax is mad. After Brax explains, Heath tries to justify his actions and Brax slaps him a second time. Romeo walks in towards the end of the scene and Heath yells, "What are you looking at?" which strikes me as a very rebellious-kid-in-trouble sort of thing to say. Romeo backs out of the deal to let them hire his boat. After Romeo leaves, Brax demands of Heath, "Now what are we going to do?" I don't think it is fair of Brax to be mad at Heath when the plan falls through when he was mad at Heath for even trying the plan, but maybe his intent in saying this is more "Not only did you involve Casey when I didn't want you to, but involving him didn't even solve the problem."
