As Andrew investigates the Harold’s break-in, police procedure forces him to ask Felix about his whereabouts since he’s a known criminal on parole in the area. But even though Felix isn’t responsible, his reaction is overly defensive, triggered by the feeling that this is yet another example of his family doubting him. Felix’s strong denial only makes Andrew more curious about what he might be hiding, and the potential police interest in Felix makes JJ, who’s finding himself increasingly drawn to the new arrival, worried. When a confrontation between Andrew and Felix erupts at his ‘Welcome to Ramsay Street’ party over Felix’s failure to admit where he was the night of the break-in, things take a surprising turn when JJ steps in and dishonestly states that he is Felix’s alibi.

A stunned Haz reels from being sent the video of him smashing up his own cafe, and turns into a quiet ball of anxiety as he keeps the damning evidence to himself, even as a sympathetic Mackenzie and Byron continue to rally around him and offer help. When Mackenzie realises the potential windfall Haz will make from his good insurance cover, and the house discuss Haz’s brother, who many have described as ‘exactly like Haz’, lingering questions are raised. Did Haz do this as an insurance job? Or was the perpetrator not even Haz at all, but an identical twin brother?

Holly is keen on making a good impression with Felix at his ‘Welcome to Ramsay Street’ party, and she is adamant that Melanie comes along with her. But Melanie is unsure: she hasn’t been invited by the Rodwells, and she’s anxious about how the street will treat her following the revelation of her dalliance with Toadie. When she runs into Wendy and delicately asks whether she can come, an overly polite Wendy welcomes Melanie’s presence, even though in truth she feels uncomfortable when her loyalty is to Terese. An awkward situation unfolds when Melanie overhears Wendy voice her unease to Jane at the party. Despite Wendy’s apology, Melanie ultimately finds her strength, refusing to be ashamed of what happened between her and Toadie. She isn’t going to hide herself away like some scarlet woman any longer.
