Theo and Bree emerge from the surf to meet Remi, who brushes Theo off after a late night in the studio – he explains that he’s in demand. Bree quickly lies that she is heading to work, despite having just said she has the day off, so something’s not quite adding up.
They’re enjoying time alone in bed when first Cash interrupts them, then Theo. Remi admits to his mate that he has someone in his bedroom, and Theo reveals he knows the truth. He shouts out to Bree, saying that she might as well come out now.
They ask Theo to keep their secret, as they’re not ready for everyone to know they’re back together. He agrees, but warns them that others will work it out if he did. How long can they keep their renewed romance under wraps?
Meanwhile, Cash and Felicity continue to clash over Rory, and she issues an ultimatum – if her boyfriend can’t stay there then neither will she. She runs straight to Rory and floats moving in with him, but he says the timing’s not quite right, and John warns that he has his eye on the River Boy leader.
When Cash approaches Felicity at Salt, she refuses to talk to him unless he apologises to Rory, and he reluctantly complies. When they do talk, the siblings reach a compromise – Cash can abide the relationship, but she needs to stay at the house. He even concedes that he can’t police who she has round.
Later though, Cash confides his true fears to John. When he’s called into work, the vehicle connected to Franklin’s murder has been traced to a David Lewis, otherwise known as Dingo.
Elsewhere, Irene is drunk when the Coastal News journalist sits down with her and Leah. Leah is horrified as Irene describes herself as a born loser and a perfect victim, vowing to kick the next person asking for help to the curb. She excuses herself from the interview, with John in hot pursuit. He wonders what on earth she was thinking. Irene doubles down on her belief that what Bronte did was her fault, and John’s reassurances can’t cut through. She warns him to leave her alone and get a life.
Leah tries to talk the journo out of going to print, but she isn’t going to let go of her first front page. Is Irene headed for even greater humiliation?
At home, as Irene swigs desperately from a whisky bottle, that seems to be the least of her troubles. When John comes to the door, it startles her, and he comes face to face with Irene crying over the broken bottle. Will he be able to help his friend in her hour of need?
