Mali and Kirby are on the beach when they run into Levi’s dad Jimmy. Kirby lets slip that Eden also lives in Summer Bay.
As Levi ices his nose, he assures a disbelieving Eden that Jimmy was not invited to the Bay and doesn’t know she’s there. He’s fed up with her attitude, so he announces that he’s taking Mackenzie and their father for dinner at Salt whether she likes it or not. When Kirby confirms that Eden has taken the night off, it’s a green light for the father and son and they head off to dinner.
Eden unpacks her father’s arrival with Cash, and explains her complex history with Jimmy. Cash tries to reason with her, but she’s sure her dad will never change. At Salt, Cash meets Levi and Jimmy, with all agreeing they wish the situation was different.
When Cash comes home, Eden is furious at his sympathies toward Jimmy, but she reluctantly agrees to five minutes with her father, taking her rage with her. She accosts their table at Salt and demands that he leave and not come back. Jimmy tells her he loves her and agrees he will leave in the morning.
Eden later confides in Cash about how she’s scared that cheating is in her blood, and she’ll end up like Jimmy and Levi. Cash is reassuring and they head to bed together.
Meanwhile, still down after being conned by Bronte, Irene isn’t even buoyed by news of Xander and Dana’s reunion. Leah switches the rosters around and gives Irene some time off to rest, but she remains hard on herself as she didn’t protect the people she loved from a scammer.
Desperate to help her friend, Leah has a bright idea – she’ll arrange an interview with the Coastal News to draw attention to the issue and deter other people from being scammed. Irene begrudgingly agrees, but by morning she has changed her mind – Leah can talk to the journo herself, but she’ll be doing it on her own.
Elsewhere, Mali hasn’t managed to offload the surfboard he’s worried about, and Kirby wonders if Felicity knows her boyfriend’s in a gang. She agrees to keep it between them, but makes Mali promise he will be careful when it comes to the River Boys.
Cash gets called into work and arrives to be surrounded by the countless members of the gang, waiting for him at the Mangrove River police station. It’s an obvious attempt at intimidation – is Cash a match for the River Boys?
