Having told Justin that they can’t be together right now, Leah wastes no time enlisting a reluctant Theo to keep an eye on him. Justin, in return, bombards Theo with questions on Leah’s every move when they work together that day. He then sends Theo to the Diner for their lunch, clearly hoping that Leah will be there. After a concerned Marilyn confides her worry for him, Theo tells Leah he’s had enough – he can’t be involved in their relationship drama, and Justin is falling apart. This news brings Leah like a moth to a flame – “We can’t go on like this, Justin. We need to talk”.
Cash is revelling in life after the force, but Eden is naturally worried that he’s given up his whole career on a whim. Rose is shocked too upon hearing her friend is no longer a cop, and it’s not long before she’s showing up at Cash’s doorstep – she can’t believe they’ve sacked him! When he explains his resignation and the reasons behind it, she’s even more aghast – “You can’t change anything or help anyone if you quit”, she tells him. “You need to be sure”.
Cash confides in Eden later on – maybe he has been a bit hasty. He’s risen through the ranks of the police before, there’s no reason why – even with a demotion – he can’t again. But when Rose turns up at the house for the second time that day, it’s not to try and twist his arm again. Instead, it’s with her own good news: she’s been offered a promotion to Cash’s rank, meaning she’s effectively taking his job. Cash is stoic as he responds – “Congratulations, you’ve earned it”. Is this the end of the line for Cash and the police?
