Home and Away airs on 5STAR at 6:30pm
David and Amelia come up to Salt after a kiss on the beach where Amelia clocked David’s hesitancy, checking if anyone has seen them together. As they sit down, she leads with checking that he doesn’t feel embarrassed to be affectionate with her. David reassures her, but she knows he’s been looking to make sure the coast is clear before they kiss. He admits it’s tricky around Lacey and wants to avoid it getting back to her where possible.
They head back to her messy motel room, and she’s unable to avoid revealing that she’s very untidy with her clothes and accepts she can no longer hide this from him. After they fall into bed together, she justifies with talk of her growing up in the foster care system. She always felt like she was a guest in someone else’s house and now she finally doesn’t have to clean up if she doesn’t want to.
Although maybe she can make an exception for David. Before they share a glass of wine, Amelia is called into an emergency at work… it’s Eden.
Cash apologises to Mackenzie for letting her have it. He’s been holding in a lot of emotions, and they agree to stay positive – there’s a donor out there waiting to be found… They bring out the food to the Fowler family, humoured by Jimmy’s report that Deb has been hard at work signing up people to donate. Jimmy gets across the fact that Mali is old news for Abigail, and the guy after that, Richie – was a long story too.
Cash rolls his eyes, and Abigail is happy not to have to elaborate on that. Mackenzie puts on some music which brightens a very tired Eden, who continues to insist to Cash she’s okay. Eden watches as her family enjoys a bite to eat and some laughs – an otherwise perfect day.
Suddenly, Eden is left holding her head in her hands, and Cash and Levi think it might be time to wrap things up. Eden disagrees, but as she walks, she collapses into Cash’s arms. She’s struggling to breathe and Levi jumps to her aid while Mackenzie calls an ambulance. While Cash and Eden are loaded into the ambulance, Levi has to push Jimmy’s concerned questions aside – so he can call Amelia.
Back at home, Abigail, Mackenzie, Levi and Jimmy lumber inside. Levi explains the treatment that’s meant to be making her stronger clearly isn’t working. Jimmy wants to know how long that might mean Eden has left? Levi’s brutally honest – if they don’t get this under control, she could have months.
Cash is glued to Eden’s bedside at the hospital, when Amelia asks him to step aside. She’s reassuring, asking him to get a coffee, take deep breaths, and do what he can to help Eden stay calm. That’s what she needs. He lets out a burst of frustration before finding a seat alone, and he cannot hold back the tears anymore…
