Extended Summary

Felicity is asleep in her van and is woken by Alf knocking on the door. He shows her that someone has graffitiied “#TOXICFELICITY” on the side of the van. Felicity says she’ll clean it. Alf notes it might need paint stripper. At the police station, Cash brings Darren a sandwich and asks how the case is doing. Darren says he’s taken statements from everyone at Salt but is doing corroboration. He has spoken to Tane and notes he saw a woman come in before he was sedated. He asks about the AVO. Cash says Felicity and Tane briefly dated, he accused her of stalking him and got aggressive. He says Felicity wasn’t behind the attack.

Jasmine is checking the social media posts as Felicity tries without much success to clean the van. Jasmine tells her she needs to report Nikau but Felicity thinks the family will hate her even more. Jasmine insists she needs to feel safe. They head to the police station where Cash wonders if they’ve been called in. Jasmine says they’re there to make a complaint and Felicity explains someone vandalised her van. Before they can say much more, Anne emerges from the office and awkwardly apologises before leaving. Felicity says she’s her alibi. Darren tells Felicity he was about to call her in for a second interview.

Leah finds Justin sitting in the garage and notes she thought he wasn’t working today. She tells him that she saw Theo and he was upset. Justin admits he was hard on him. They head home. Theo quietly asks Leah if Justin has calmed down, then asks her to leave them alone. Leah goes to feed Buddy. Theo apologises and asks about Mason. Justin says he was the nicest person in the world and smart, explaining there was a hostage situation at work and he died saving lives. He admits he doesn’t always cope with it and apologises for overreacting.

Jasmine shows Cash the social media posts. She thinks someone needs to talk to Nikau. Cash agrees but it can’t be him because of the conflict of interests. In the office, Felicity repeats her story about being with Anne. Darren says Anne told him she was alone. Felicity admits she was alone in her van. Darren asks why an innocent person would need to lie.

Theo and Chloe run into each other at the surf club. He suggests a game but she explains she’s working tonight. Tane asks to hang anyway. Chloe goes to pay for her juice but the card is declined and realises Ryder’s done something. Theo is bemused they have a shared account, even a business one, and pays for her. Soon after, Ryder turns up at the Parata house. He isn’t happy to see Theo with Chloe, although Chloe says he’s just there as a sad sack. Ryder is shocked that she tried to buy a juice with a business card but explains about adding an extra 0. He says the supplier’s refusing to give the money back. Theo offers to pay off the card but Ryder refuses. Chloe asks how do they fix it.

Felicity says she was freaked out and didn’t want people thinking she did it. Darren asks about her and Tane including signing up for the gym. Felicity says she moved on. Darren shows her a copy of the note Tane received which she denies sending. He asks her about being a country girl and how much she knows about organophosphates. Later, Felicity and Jasmine go to the surf club. Felicity sees Anne and asks Jasmine to give them a moment before asking what happened to having her back. Anne says she panicked when she found out the federal police were involved. Felicity accepts she shouldn’t have asked her in the first place and Anne says she stuck up for her.

Chloe has managed to put the supplier offside to the extent that he isn’t answering her calls. Ryder insists they’ll find a way. Theo says he knows ways to make money fast but Ryder isn’t impressed. Chloe asks Theo to give them some space. Ryder goes to see Alf, who is frustrated unravelling a net outside the bait shop. Alf says he was hoping to finish early to see Marilyn and also that he wanted to go to the city to see Martha. Ryder says he’s there if Alf needs anything.

Jasmine and Felicity return to her van with Felicity checking the comments on her phone. She admits she asked Anne to give her an alibi because she was alone. Darren turns up with a group of police officers including Cash and says they have a warrant to search the van. At the Parata house, Ryder tells Chloe he couldn’t ask Alf for another loan. Theo turns up, having been summoned, and Ryder says they’re willing to work with him. Theo proudly says he doesn’t work hard but they could make $1000 a day. Ryder cautiously asks for details.

Felicity asks Cash if he couldn’t have warned her while Darren comments on the graffiti. Jasmine says they won’t find anything. A constable gives Darren a pill bottle and Felicity says she’s never seen it before. Darren says it’s the same drug that was used to sedate Tane.
