On the Brink

Episode 5 of 6

Helen is blindsided by an article revealing her past mental health struggles but decides to confront the issue on Public Eye. Dale is beginning to crack under the pressure of Lindsay's blackmail.

As Public Eye reaches number one, Helen is blindsided by a front-page article revealing her history of mental health struggles and institutionalisation. As she considers how to respond, she focuses her energy on a special report about the closing of mental health institutions across the country, unsure whether her personal story has a place in the report.

Meanwhile, Dale spirals under the pressure of Lindsay’s blackmail, leading to a reckless confrontation at the backyard wedding of cameraman Brian and make-up artist Cheryl.
