Wednesday in Summer Bay…
A distressed Leah looks on helplessly as Bree and her team wheel Justin into surgery. “This is our only chance at saving him now”, Bree tells her. Justin makes it through surgery, but he’s lost a lot of blood, and the anaesthetic he’s under could increase his chance of organ failure. “So, you put him through surgery, and he still might die?” Leah chokes between tears. She and Theo sit close by Justin’s bedside. Can he pull through this?
Kirby and Theo turn up for rehearsal, but Remi is nowhere to be seen, and Eden warns them it may be a while until he appears. Kirby continues to brainstorm ways to get out of her contract, and she thinks she’s landed on a sure-fire plan – she’ll post on her socials that she’s back with Lyrik, and once their fans are on board Forrest will have to take notice! “Is that a great idea when you’re still under contract?” Theo worries, but Kirby’s resolute – “I have to do something”.
Tane and Felicity are loved up on the beach when Felicity tells him he’d better make the most of it – once a baby comes along, they won’t have time for funny business. And Tane doesn’t intend on wasting time – the best way to fall pregnant is to get as much practice as possible. Seeing how excited he is for the future of their family, Felicity tries to temper his expectations. She’s only just gone off the pill, she reminds him. It could be ages before anything happens. When she shares the news with her brother, Cash is delighted, if a little surprised. When did she change her mind about becoming a mother? When she steals a moment alone at Salt later on, it seems she may not have – with Tane out of the way, she retrieves her contraceptive pill from a hiding place, and takes one.
