Eden and Cash support Felicity before her Restorative Justice meeting. Eden can’t quite believe it’s going ahead and is quick to assure Felicity that “it’s not too late to change your mind”. But Felicity knows she has to do this. “I’m as ready as I’ll ever be,” she tells her loved ones, knowing they’ll be with her every step. While the trio head to the police station, Tane arrives home to an empty house. Where is everyone?
At the police station, the meeting commences, with Eden close by her friend’s side. Felicity is terrified as she comes face to face with her attacker, but she’s clear on what she wants – to leave this room today with nothing left to say. It isn’t long before the meeting devolves into chaos, with Jeremy dodging Felicity’s direct questions, and Felicity quickly losing her temper. She storms out of the room and considers abandoning the process altogether, but after some encouragement from Eden decides to continue alone. Even if her attacker is there for the wrong reasons, he needs to hear what she has to say.
Meanwhile, having heard from Remi that Felicity is at the police station, Tane wastes no time by storming in, and it’s left for Eden to talk him down. She had the same reservations as him, but she now knows that Felicity needs this to move forward, and he needs to let her. In the meeting room, Felicity grills her assailant: “Why me?”. Jeremy tries to explain himself, but Felicity has reached the conclusion she needs to. “You’re pathetic,” she tells him. “And you’ll never hurt anyone again”. Jeremy is humiliated, and Felicity finally feels a sense of closure. In fact, she’s ecstatic as she debriefs Tane at home, but Tane has reservations and is clearly hurt. Why didn’t she tell him about any of this?
