Next week on Home and Away in the UK, Cash and Eden leave town for Felicity’s private funeral in the country – but the recent events prompt Cash to make a rash decision about his relationship.
After the devastating events of the last week, the time has come to lay Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) to rest.
Flick collapsed in Salt after suffering a brain aneurysm, and although she was rushed to Northern Districts Hospital where she underwent surgery, a second bleed later left her brain dead.
Big brother Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) initially couldn’t accept Bree’s (Juliet Godwin) diagnosis, and it was only after sitting in on the second neurological assessment, required by law to determine a lack of brain activity, that Cash realised his sister was gone.
Not feeling ready to say goodbye, Cash refused permission to have Flick’s life support switched off for a couple of days, until Flick’s ex-husband Tane (Ethan Browne) convinced him that she wouldn’t want to be kept hooked up to machines.
After Cash agreed to donate Flick’s organs, she was wheeled down to surgery with the hospital staff lining the corridor in a guard of honour.
Next week, Cash still hasn’t been able to tell foster father Gary (Peter Phelps) about Flick’s death, despite Eden’s (Stephanie Panozzo) gentle encouragement.
He instead busies himself with packing up all of Flick’s belongings, but is halted when he comes across her photo album, staring at a childhood photo of the two of them.
When a delivery shows up, it’s a selection of wedding dresses that Flick had arranged for Eden to try on. It hits Eden hard as she and Cash are united in their grief.
Cash still cannot bring himself to tell Gary, feeling bad for not giving him the opportunity to come to the hospital and say his own goodbyes, but a few words from Tane ends up being the push that Cash needs to make the difficult phone call.
Later in the week, Flick’s friends are disappointed to learn that Cash has opted to have the funeral back in the country town where he and Flick grew up, with only Cash, Gary and Eden present. Leah (Ada Nicodemou) and Justin (James Stewart) agree that it doesn’t feel right, Flick having a funeral of such a small size.
Salt co-owner Mackenzie (Emily Weir) takes the news particularly hard, as she asks about all the others who lost Flick from their lives. Justin suggests that they hold their own memorial in Summer Bay, which everyone agrees is a great idea.
Salt’s chef will take care of catering with assistance from Leah and Marilyn (Emily Symons), and Mac orders a load of champagne—free glasses for everyone is a must, considering it’s Flick.
Alf (Ray Meagher) warns Justin that they should really get Cash’s blessing before they go ahead, and when Justin broaches the subject, Cash agrees that it’s a good idea—Flick had always joked about having a ‘Festival of Felicity’.
As the final preparations are made at Salt, Cash and Eden drive up to Gary’s farm.
The three talk that evening, with Gary reminded of a young Flick (portrayed in a flashback by Amalija Leacy) dancing under a nearby tree in front of the ute’s headlights.
The memory is too painful for Cash who walks away to gather his thoughts, leaving Gary to remind Eden that for many years, it was Cash and Flick against the world.
The next day, the three take Flick’s coffin to the grave site, where she will be buried alongside her beloved parents Anthony and Jennifer.
Eden places flowers next to both of their headstones, with a final bouquet left for Flick.
Gary says a few words, choosing not to focus on Flick’s difficult childhood, where she struggled to accept him and wife Katherine as parental figures, but instead on the past few years where he felt privileged to be a part of her life once again.
As Gary talks about the times Flick just called him up for advice or to share the latest gossip, both Cash and Eden are surprised to learn that she had been the one to break the news of their engagement to Gary.
She had sworn Gary to secrecy ready for when Cash later told him, but was too excited for her brother and bestie to keep quiet.
After Cash places the flowers on top of Flick’s coffin, the three say their final farewells as she is lowered into the ground.
Following the ceremony, Eden and Cash console each other, and Cash tells Eden the last thing that Flick said to him moments before her collapse—that they could both be happy. Cash now feels like a fool for believing her, after so much tragedy in their lives.
Eden is then blindsided when Cash suddenly announces that their relationship is over!
Eden looks at her fiance in confusion as he explains that everyone he loves just ends up buried there—he doesn’t want to have to bury her too.
Eden begs Cash to see sense, but he tells her to go back to the house, take the keys to the car and leave. He doesn’t want her in his life any more!
A devastated Eden can see that Cash is entirely serious, and so she reluctantly complies, leaving Cash with a concerned Gary.
Will Gary be able to talk Cash out of his drastic decision?
Meanwhile, Levi also has little sister Abigail (Hailey Pinto) on his mind, after she skipped town with his wallet following a brief visit for Cash and Eden’s engagement party.
Levi had not seen his sister for two years prior, and wasn’t fully aware of her situation. After asking his mum for the address of Abby’s sharehouse, Levi was concerned to learn that she had moved out of there a few weeks ago.
He soon realised that Abby was also responsible for swiping over $400 from the surf club’s petty cash tin, and after repaying club manager John (Shane Withington), he finally heard back from his numerous calls and text messages, when Abby asked if he was planning to dob her in.
Next week, Levi sees yet another bank transaction come through on his phone as Abby withdraws $150. Mac points out that Abby is stealing from him, but Levi is just happy to know that she’s alive and using the money to get through whatever she’s going through
Mac eventually persuades Levi that bankrolling Abby is only enabling her to avoid facing whatever issues she has, and Levi reluctantly cancels his card in the hope Abby will be forced out of hiding.
The plan works, with a furious Abby returning to the farmhouse the next morning to berate Levi for cutting her off.
Abby claims to just be using the money to live on, and was planning on paying him back. When she then asks if she could just have a couple of hundred dollars, Levi refuses until she tell him what she really needs it for.
Abby resolves to go and ask Eden instead, but Levi stops her, explaining what has happened with Flick.
Mac later storms home, having heard from Rose (Kirsty Marillier) about the stolen surf club funds. Rose had suspected Abby, but Levi had claimed there was nothing to worry about and later convinced John to drop the complaint. As Abby makes a quick exit, Mac asks Levi when he is going to draw the line.
Levi drops Abby off at the bus stop as requested, but when he takes hold of her arm in an attempt to stop her leaving, she flinches.
Levi is concerned and asks if someone has been hurting her, before Abby starts to break down. She reluctantly shows him her arm to reveal track marks…
Levi’s devastated as he realises the truth of the situation. His little sister is an addict.
