Now Chris discovered he can trace them from the IP address of their emails his niece Tuesday sent him and learnt they were in Australia. Toni had applied for full custody of Harry, prompting outrage from Chris. Lara Wade a police officer working on the Ferndale Strangler case told Chris that Toni and Harry were in Christchurch.

In the 2008 season premiere it was revealed she had survived the crash but she was rushed into surgery and lost a kidney; as her other kidney is also damaged there is a possibility she could end up on dialysis.

In recent times, Toni and Chris have had the opportunity to talk through their last tumultuous months and have each accepted responsibility for their past actions. In fact, a reconciliation could be on the cards. But is Toni ready to commit to the older Warner brother once more, or does she still hold a soft spot for the reckless but enervating younger brother, Guy?
