Spencer and Maddy 5676 - 5678

Maddy and Spencer accept Roo's offer to stay at the caravan park. Harvey insists that they should call the kids' parents, but Roo reveals that she has made an agreement with them - she won't call their parents if they don't run away again. Maddy falls asleep only to be woken by Roo and Harvey. She doesn't look well and she's burning up. They need to take her to a hospital. Maddy is diagnosed with meningitis and Roo feels deep guilt - she could have looked after the kids better. Harvey tells Roo that he called the police, fearing for the kids' health. Spencer reveals that it's actually a relief that Harvey called the police. Worried for Maddy, he thinks it might be time they return home. Maddy is enraged by Spencer's suggestion, and in a moment of impulsivity, she calls her mother and tells her that she won't be returning. The pair's reluctance to involve their parents leaves Roo and Alf wondering if they should instead.
