In the Monday episode of Home and Away, Constable Cash pulls into his new post and is met by Constable Devlin, who wastes no time in warning him about the River Boys, a notorious gang in the area.
Cash gets a taste of their handiwork when he discovers his vehicle has been vandalised, and his eyes meet Rory’s, one of the gang members.
Cash is shocked to realise that his sister, Felicity, is dating a member of the River Boys. Devlin also informs Cash that the gang is likely responsible for his predecessor’s murder, adding urgency to the situation.
Cash hurries to find Felicity and breaks the news that her boyfriend, Rory, is involved in a gang. He pleads with her to stay away from him for her own safety. Felicity, challenged by this revelation, confronts Rory and demands an explanation. She gives him an ultimatum: give me one good reason I shouldn’t dump you right now.
The episode also explores the aftermath of Dana and Xander’s ordeal with Chase and Bronte. Dana is struggling to forgive Xander, while Irene is consumed by self-loathing and guilt. Harper, Dana’s sister, steps in to offer support, coaxing Dana out of bed and providing some tough love. Meanwhile, Leah attempts to comfort Irene, who is helping Rose press charges against Bronte. Irene, however, is overwhelmed by feelings of foolishness and self-blame.
Will Felicity stand by Rory despite his gang involvement? Can Dana and Xander repair their relationship? And will Irene be able to move past her self-loathing and find peace?
