Eden confides in Levi about the trust issues she still has following their father’s affair. It’s the last thing he wants to hear. With his own affair playing on his mind, Levi can’t help but snap at Eden the next time she takes a swipe at their dad. He questions when Eden will start seeing their dad as human rather than a villain.

After Levi vents to Mackenzie about his sister’s closed heart, she pulls him into a kiss. But as they draw apart, they see Alf passing by – did he just bust their affair?

Meanwhile, concerned for her safety, Cash warns that Stevie’s meeting with director Nelson Giles will have to be online. She immediately warns that Nelson isn’t someone she’s going to mess around. Cash tries to reason with her.

A new guard arrives for his shift and Stevie’s distress is palpable. She begs for Cash to stay, which gets her nowhere, so she later calls to complain that new guard Paul is already boring her. Cash draws a firm boundary though and refuses to succumb to her whim.

The next day, Cash wakes to a series of voicemails from Stevie – she frets that Paul has been poisoned and she’s there all on her own. He runs to her side and the culprit turns out to be a bad kebab, but Stevie’s fear of her stalker is obvious. When Eden calls, Cash has bad news for his girlfriend – he can’t leave Stevie after the night she’s had.

Elsewhere, at the Diner, Irene gives Roo the heads up – Dana was tricked into speaking about baby Maia to the journalist who’d been hanging around. Later, their worst fears are confirmed when Roo reads aloud a scathing article that labels Rose incompetent and worse, names Tane for his “obsession” with the baby.

When the print copy comes out the next day, a photograph of Tane has been published alongside the inflammatory prose. Roo is outraged, and tells Alf she plans on doing something about it.
