It a busy week ahead in Summer Bay, with Justin’s decision to let Richie live with him and Leah has become increasingly difficult to conceal. Also, David finally discovers the truth, while Dylan arrives with secrets of his own and Lacey struggles to move forward after losing Theo.

Justin finally faces David

Justin hopes Richie will find paid work and leave before David discovers the living arrangement.

Richie, however, wants to prove himself by volunteering at the Surf Club. He applies for John’s Bronze Medallion Course but abandons the interview when David appears.

After Alf explains that John needs volunteers, David makes clear that although he has doubts about Richie saving lives, he will not interfere with decisions about his future. John later offers Richie a place.

Justin’s attempts to avoid an awkward conversation fail when David visits and Richie answers the door.

Justin explains that Leah wanted to help Richie after he was left without a home.

David is disappointed they were not honest, although he accepts the explanation and hopes their friendship can recover.

Lacey is shocked that David’s supposed friend allowed Richie to move in, and Amelia later challenges Justin and Leah over their secrecy.

Dylan’s arrival complicates Sonny’s life

Sonny celebrates six weeks in a job after testifying against Beau in court.

Remi is proud, although Sonny still feels guilty about driving Tane away from his son.

The next morning, Sonny’s younger brother Dylan arrives from Western Australia.

He has quit his supposedly perfect job and wants Sonny to keep it from their parents.

Dylan reminds Sonny of the times he has covered for him, while Remi points out that Sonny is hiding his breakup with Dana, spinal injury and steroid addiction.

Dylan admits he is tired of being the golden child and wants the gap year he never had. Sonny agrees to help him embrace adventure and lets him move in.

Lacey’s past threatens a new romance

Dylan and Lacey flirt and nearly kiss, but Lacey freezes and leaves. She tells Jo and Amelia that she has not experienced feelings like this for a long time.

Memories of her late boyfriend Theo overwhelm her, leaving Jo doubtful she is ready for another relationship. Amelia encourages Lacey not to let the past rule her future.

Sonny, knowing Lacey still blames herself for Theo’s death, warns Dylan to stay away. Dylan is confused, but Lacey eventually reassures him and asks him on a date.

After telling his parents he still has his old job, Dylan is delighted when she arrives dressed up at his door.

Eden and Tane need support

Eden fears Mackenzie knows her siblings better than she does and worries about Abigail if Richie breaks her heart.

Cash confides in Melanie, whom he met through an Aplastic Anaemia forum. Eden overhears and is pleased he has someone to talk to. Mackenzie and Abigail apologise for excluding her, and Mackenzie reassures Eden she could never replace her.

Tane struggles with leaving Archie behind despite being on good terms with Harper. John tells him Archie is not doing well and probably misses his dad, prompting Mali to reprimand him before arranging a night out.

Meanwhile, Levi’s post-surgery pain leads him to snap at Amelia when she asks about work. He apologises and expects to return in six weeks, later showing Mackenzie improved hand mobility. Amelia admits her locum feels different because of David, while Jo worries about what happens when the job ends. David apologises after Amelia stays overnight, but Jo remains uneasy.
