Red Ranger 1

Theo's getting himself into trouble, although to be fair to him, he did take Justin's advice on board and try to do the right thing by Lacey. Unfortunately, he seems to have forgotten that he's not indestructible and people have very good reason to be scared of Gage.Sonny continues to keep Remi and Bree in the loop, but not Justin, who remains unaware of the problem with Theo going off on his own. Incidentally, did that count as Lacey's first Obligatory Bikini Scene? Cash and Eden really need to get better at communicating.I guess Cash was trying to not make a big deal of it, but dismissing the engagement ring as "just a ring" was the worst thing he could have said in the circumstances.I liked how Remi noticed she was still wearing it, and then when Kirby saw it and she and Justin thought she was engaged, only for Justin to get the heck out of there on realising this is not a happy time.I would quite like to have seen Kirby carry Eden over there, it would have saved her the half hour walk! Cash not wanting to be engaged until he's proposed properly feels a bit old-fashioned to say the least, but Eden seems to be happy with it which is the main thing. I'm not really sure Mali owed Kirby an apology, but they were good friends and so it was right that they shouldn't stay on a sour note.It was pretty incredible that Abigail was both the grown-up in the room and going into bat for Kirby, two things that were inconceivable when she first turned up.I can see this article coming back to bite them though:It's hard not to imagine either one or both of them coming out of it looking bad. Nice way of keeping Tane and Harper's situation in viewers' minds now they've used up their three episodes, with Cash getting that picture and Irene and Leah making up their own episode quotas chatting about it!

Incidentally, nice that Nikau was remembered and I liked how really uncomfortable Eden was babysitting Tane! Also, I liked the way Tane's culture was remembered, Home and Away is one of the best soaps for this sort of thing.

Harper was being ridiculous here.When she said people know why she's doing it, my response was "Because you'd rather hide under the sheets like a heartbroken schoolgirl than be a grown-up about it?" I was surprised Cash was so keen to take her side. Still, at least she came round by the end of the episode and realised this is about Archie, not about her and her fantasies.So it seems she and Tane are set to co-parent, which they really should have stuck to in the first place instead of trying to make it more than it was. You could probably make a documentary about Cash, Eden and engagement rings at this point. Talking of, Kirby just took herself off into her own little world and didn't realise the effect she was having on others again.She's already on thin ice with Mali over not doing her job when she's at work so doubling down on it was not a good idea.Being lumbered with an obnoxious photographer didn't help but Mali was obviously going to snap sooner or later.

Seemingly a happy ending then, despite all the drama. Well, kind of. Marilyn was being ridiculous again, insisting on blaming Eliza for everything that went wrong, and I wished Leah had pulled her up a bit more on her acting as though Eliza had somehow trapped Harper out there. Roo actually managed to put up a decent case with Alf, although she was obviously concerned by Eliza flashing a video of the birth around, to the point that she didn't object to Alf putting Eliza to work.Eliza did seem pleased when she started the filming.Again, the only (and I realise it's a big "only") thing she did wrong was not calling an ambulance. (Given that Tane's next after Marilyn in being suspicious of Eliza, I'm surprised he didn't pick up on that, but I guess he had other things on his mind.) I've come to the conclusion that Eliza didn't particularly want Harper to come to harm, but wouldn't have minded if she did. She just wanted to be at the centre of the action, and if the grown-ups had arrived earlier and whisked Harper off to safety, she wouldn't have. So Tane got to be at Archie's birth and have a few hours with him at the hospital, although Harper soon shut down after a dose of general anaesthetic. I do think Harper is being rather selfish here, keeping Tane and Archie apart simply because it was easy for her.I couldn't get behind Dana treating Harper like an innocent victim: Tane pushed ahead with a wedding he shouldn't have done because he wanted a family, but Harper pushed ahead with it because she wanted Tane by any means necessary. So I was disappointed that Mackenzie apologised to her. I did quite like Levi backing way away from being dubbed an "uncle".

Well, it feels like Eliza definitely crossed a line by lying about phoning an ambulance. And she seems to be doing it simply to satisfy her morbid curiosity.It was interesting that the only time she showed any hint of emotion, it looked like concern, as if she's trying to be dispassionate but can't quite manage it.I'm wondering if there's a story behind her obsession with scars, but it feels like we've been given a lot of bread crumbs about Eliza and I'm not sure how many if any of them will be followed up on.Marilyn continued her quest to be the most awful person in the storyline, once more demonstrating the callous attitude towards children that's led her to treat her own daughter like an inconvenience to be hidden away and ignored her whole life. The irony is that she's making out Eliza's worse than she is.Despite her claims to the contrary, no-one forced Harper to go out into the bush.And Eliza hasn't done anything to harm Harper, she's just passively preventing her from getting help, which isn't much better, I admit, but she's not the knife-wielding serial killer Marilyn seems to think she is.Even Alf was rolling his eyes at her inability to keep her trap shut.Ironically, in one way, she's done Tane a favour, since he wouldn't be at the birth otherwise! Elsewhere, Leah and Justin discover there's a new woman in Theo's life who isn't exactly unattached, but are blissfully unaware that her boyfriend's a River Boy and not one of the ones we're meant to like either. Justin was like a dog with a bone with Kirby, and given the situation, they should probably let Mali know all this is going on in working hours. CURS: Why did we see Gage spotting Theo and Lacey together when there was no follow-up on it at all?

I think it's more acceptable on something like Byker Grove, which is off screen for half a year so you can believe characters have moved away in the gap between series or just stopped attending the youth club, than with something like Home and Away which is on pretty much all year round and where we're meant to be privvy to every aspect of the characters' lives.

I'm still not seeing any logic to Abigail's attitude.Either she'd be upset if they broke up or she wouldn't.Saying the L word doesn't change it. Alf's episode count this week:Three. I am absolutely loving the way Eliza doesn't feel the need to treat Marilyn with anything other than disdain.Marilyn's constant hovering and nannying didn't help at all, and Harper and Eliza might even have stayed at the house if not for her getting in the way all the time.Eliza does seem to ask a lot of questions that most people would find a teeny bit uncomfortable, I have to admit.It was interesting that Harper didn't know John and Marilyn used to be married.Whilst he was a bit abrupt at times, John did have the gem of some good advice for Tane. Yep, this is why you should not treat promos as if they're part of the episode or even what's definitely going to happen next time:They're just some stuff that will probably happen in the future.And I've pretty much given up complaining about them giving away cliffhangers by this point.Sonny was another one that probably did more harm than good, as his attempt at an intervention simply led to Theo and Lacey having another liaison in one of the spots where they were most likely to be spotted by someone they know.

My issue with Abigail was that she's already in a relationship with Mali, and living with him, and it'd already hurt if they break up.Whether or not they exchange the L word didn't make a scrap of difference. I'm afraid that I have to agree that Alf was being ridiculous here.He has a frustrating habit of doing this, coming down hard on someone that he thinks other people are being soft on.He was the same with Maddy when she first lived there, deciding Roo was spoiling her and taking it upon himself to bully her and arbitrarily order her to do chores.He was the same with Theo, deciding Justin and John hadn't punished him enough so he was going to make his life a misery.And maybe Eliza's worse than them, but getting her to clean toilets is no magic solution and I'm glad Roo stepped in.Irene continues to lap up Marilyn's whining without actually meeting Eliza or even hearing Roo's side of the story, although she did at least point out she changed, and there was no real sign she wanted to when we first met her, as Marilyn should know given she didn't like her much when she first came back to town (partly because of that, partly because Marilyn's self-absorbed). Not that it made any impact on Marilyn, who's obviously decided Eliza's bad and therefore she doesn't have to treat her fairly. (I guess we see things differently because I found her "You'll have to ask Roo" a bit manipulative: It put all the responsibility on Roo and inevitably let to Alf charging in demanding to know what Roo had done to upset Marilyn.) Alf did finally make the point that Eliza's only meant to be there temporarily, but no-one followed up on it. Maybe something ambiguous on Eliza's face at the end? She looked triumphant but maybe there was a slight trace of vulnerability in there? I think a part of her likes having someone on her side. Elsewhere, Theo continues to be into fast cars and fast women. Bree trying to warn off Gage and Lacey was utterly ridiculous, did she really expect them to be cowed? (There was someone we didn't know behind the counter at the board shop at the time.Has Mali got new staff or was he being robbed?) Still, it's got Sonny sharing with Remi. And Justin's shared what little he knows with Leah, so that's that source of marital strife shut down.

This Eliza storyline is shockingly badly written. It feels as though we're meant to see Roo, who's coming from a place of compassion, as in the wrong, and the utterly awful attitudes of Alf and Marilyn, wanting a vulnerable child to be locked up or made someone else's problem, as somehow right. Well, sorry, but the more we get of this, the more I feel like I'd rather side with Roo than be wrong than side with the not-in-my-back-yard brigade and be right. It doesn't help that Marilyn's a pretty unpleasant character most of the time anyway (I really hoped to see some humility over her smug matchmaking towards Tane and Harper going wrong but nope), and that one of Alf's biggest weaknesses is his tendency to ignore her faults and overindulge her, so naturally he takes her side over Roo and doesn't even consider that Marilyn might be the one causing trouble. Abigail was being ridiculous as well.So, the problem isn't that she doesn't love Mali back (which, ironically, was the issue with Tane and Harper, not that she knows that), the problem is that she thinks moving in together isn't a big scary commitment but saying the L word is? I think the only way to sum that up is "first world problems". Oh well, she seems to have decided that being in love isn't relationship death by the end, so that's that little drama sorted. I wasn't too keen on another storyline of everyone talking about someone who isn't in the episode either.There was a brief moment of interest when Remi challenged Justin's assumption that Sonny's involved in stolen car parts despite being at odds with him presently, but then he just slipped back into towing the line. So Justin tells Remi and Bree what Cash said, even though he hasn't told Leah? Is he trying to create marital problems?

I had absolutely no sympathy for Harper here. She's not a victim in this. She hid the pregnancy from Tane for months because it was easier for her. She got carried away in her (and Dana's) schoolgirl fantasy of marrying a good-looking guy she'd fancied for ages, when it was obvious to everyone else that she'd never be more than a poor substitute for Felicity, and Tane wouldn't have looked twice at her without the baby. And now that everything's inevitably gone belly-up, she's back to acting as though what's best for her is the only important thing. Whilst Tane yelling at her wasn't helpful, I wasn't too keen on Cash acting like her guard dog. Tane shouldn't have proposed for the wrong reasons, but Harper was just as much to blame for letting things get that far. I wasn't sure Tane going to see her so soon after was a good idea but he seemed to get some concessions out of her. I can't really blame either Kirby or Mali here. Kirby does have a job to do and can't expect Mali to let her out of work whenever inspiration hits. But on the other hand, if she does want to focus on her music, resigning is the best option. It's not even as if she walked out and left him in the lurch, she's actually given him notice, something virtually unprecedented in television. Eden's attempt at an engagement discussion gets derailed again by Cash's ennui. Levi definitely blurted out too much information there. And Mali possibly has as well, given Abigail's shocked look and the promo.

That was a rather short "day before the wedding": It felt like it was still early in the day at the end of last episode but a few scenes in it's suddenly night again! I must admit that scene at Salt was possibly the only time I've felt sorry for Tane in the build-up to the wedding.It was obviously meant to demonstrate Tane's lack of interest in the ceremony but if I got ambushed the day before my wedding by a celebrant trying to make out that coming up with a "little surprise" for the bride was expected of me, I'd react the same way: I don't think I've ever been to a wedding where that was considered a requirement. That said, John's probably the person I feel most sorry for here, if this was only the second wedding he'd been asked to officiate and it hasn't happened. Anyway, both Tane and Harper let it go on longer than it should have done, but at least they stopped it going too far.(That said, given the show's determination to give Tane a family, I would not be surprised if they suddenly decide a few months down the line that Tane does love her after all and they get back together.)Dana seemed to have her head in the sand a bit, hoping it would all work out.So did Harper, for the most part, and it still seems to be there: Despite promising Tane they'll still be a family, she seems to have no idea what that actually means. I was wondering if the cache of goodies Tane found were from his family but it turned out not to be: Did they even know he was getting married? (We even saw that old family photo recently, and even though a good chunk of the people on it are dead, Nikau and Gemma are still around.) Oh, and I do like it when the show remembers Harper and Cash are friends, with him going to check on her. Elsewhere, Kirby was being a bit erratic in suggesting Eden propose to Cash after the wedding and then trying to get her to do it the previous night instead.And her trying to juggle her singing career with a day job seems to be coming unstuck.

I see today's episode has been moved back to 1.30pm to accommodate it. I've not seen any other changes so far. ETA: Continuity announcer at the end of the episode confirmed it'll be back to 1.45pm tomorrow, so presumably episodes will be moved whenever they clash with a match and/or its coverage.

It only took five minutes around Tane and Harper for Eden to do a backflip and agree with Cash that they shouldn't be getting married.And that's after being on the receiving end of Hurricane Dana! Harper is having doubts, Dana, after being fully on board last week, now seems to be recognising those doubts as well. Tane...hard to say. I think he's still in the same head space of knowing he doesn't love Harper but still wanting to marry her and be a family anyway. Are Harper and Tane living together now? I feel like I've missed or forgotten her moving in. I was disappointed to hear John hasn't done any weddings apart from Leah and Justin's, what happened to all the interest he was getting on his website? I had to raise my eyebrows at Cash saying he's always known what he wants, given he actually did break off his engagement to Eden. It seems to have got her interested again anyway, although Cash's worries about Tane got in the way of her declaration. Levi did manage to tell Mackenzie he wants a family, see how that goes once the Law of Inverse Fertility kicks in.

Gage's presence in the Bay has got a lot of people's spidey-senses tingling.In a way, Cash has put Justin in a difficult position by confiding in him, since it's left him obligated to tell Leah only half the story.Everyone continues to put too much focus on Sonny.It's not entirely unfair, since Sonny twice dragged Theo out there to do a job for Gage, but Theo is definitely doing his very best to stay in.By the end of the episode, Sonny's pretty much washed his hands of him.I wonder how Leah and Justin will see him moving out? Theo complaining that Sonny used to be fun was enlightening: For probably the first time in his life, Sonny is trying to be the grown-up in the room. Lacey's expression changing after Cash and Gage had gone was a bit telling, it's almost like being a tough girl is partly an act to fit in. She is very keen for Theo to compete, but then so is Theo. Fair play to Irene, once John was back she was conciliatory and even apologetic towards him.I must admit I was kind of hoping Irene would stick to her guns and not want to risk attending the wedding rather than being won over by John's magic touch.It was sweet of him to offer to stay off the alcohol with her, anyway.Probably not much chance of her having to go home during the vows, since there's unlikely to be any alcohol around at that point! That's later. And we're back to Cash getting grumpy about being best man to a couple who aren't in love or at least one of them isn't.Given that everyone involved is being honest about what they want, I still feel like Cash should just go with it and try to be true to that, instead of feeling like he has to pretend it's a "proper" wedding.

Ah, just managed to sneak in then: If it had been a month later... On an unrelated note, why did Sonny feel the need to rush in and distract Kirby when she was walking away from Theo and Lacey?

So Justin's met Gage, which has opened up a whole can of worms.Justin, Leah and Remi all seemed to have reached the conclusion that Sonny has got Theo into trouble with the River Boys, which isn't entirely untrue, but Theo is doing his very best to make sure he stays in trouble with them.Still, I'm not sure what Sonny's game plan is here.Getting Theo to sell the car would pay off Theo's debt and free him from the River Boys but Sonny seems to be offering to pay back Remi, offering to pay Leah board and splashing the cash around with meals at Salt and the Diner, even though he seemed to give all his last batch of earnings to Remi and doesn't have any other source of income? I don't think Irene has any right to feel offended, given she was the one demanding John stay away from her because she found it difficult. Anyway, at least she's reached out to him. Crikey, that was a really mistimed line from Irene, sarcastically claiming to be enquiring about "the flipping pope": When was this shown in Australia?! Kirby got herself in a bit of a tizzy: It is possible to fiddle with something too much. Justin seemed to rightly guess she was procrastinating and put a stop to it.

That's almost a contradiction in terms!

Eliza had answers for Roo, but how much of it was true? There was probably a grain of truth in it, but her explanations for the bandage and the knife felt very much like her telling Roo what she wanted to hear.I do wonder about her parents though: I doubt Eliza would have just been sent to her gran if she was considered a danger to her parents.I don't think she intended to use the knife on anyone, I think she just liked the idea of having it.It's debatable whether Tane's alpha male act did any harm but it certainly didn't do any good.Eliza burning the teddy was, I guess, her drawing a line under that association, but it may not have been that positive an association in the first place. Kirby frets while Justin and Remi try desperately to act like hardnosed businessmen but in the end they got it over the line.Bree was liking the idea of living alone but soon found herself missing company, so I wonder how long that will last? Mali belatedly asks Abigail to the wedding after a bit of prompting and teasing. Remi's starting to worry about what Sonny's getting himself into: It's good in a way that he's trying to be responsible but at what cost?

It always felt like they were riffing off it a bit when they did that storyline about the woman who miraculously survived a skydiving accident only to get killed by a car on leaving hospital. Roo is trying to balance being supportive of Eliza and worrying that she might be dangerous.It feels like Eliza should have been in specialist care in the first place: Where exactly is her social worker and why is Roo having to go to Harper for advice instead? I did continue to appreciate Eliza winding Marilyn up.The sensible thing would surely be for Roo to take that knife back to the bait shop rather than moving it around the pantry.Eliza once again gets intense at someone taking her stuff, but it's less defensible when it's something she's stolen herself. I'm not sure what to make of her buying a teddy bear for the baby: On the face of it, it's a sweet gesture, but she seems to have an ulterior motive in trying to get close to Tane and Harper again. Well, neither of Mackenzie's secrets stay secret for very long.Levi didn't get the answer he expected and Mackenzie didn't get the response she'd hoped for.I suspect it's not going to be left there.She also didn't anticipate Mali calling Dean if she didn't give him a straight answer, although in that case it may well be left there. Harper's back and Tane's response is basically "Oh. Yeah. You." It's kind of ironic, given how much he leaned on her as a friend, that he doesn't really know what to do with her now they're engaged and expecting a baby.I wonder if some of the things Mackenzie said about having an idea stuck in your head hit home.

I think Eliza is officially my new hero: I definitely appreciate the temptation to wind up Marilyn the way she was.Irene showed her nasty judgemental side again, dubbing Eliza "a nasty piece of work" based purely on Marilyn's side of the story without even bothering to meet her first.Despite her attempts to support Eliza, Roo is obviously thinking about what Marilyn's saying, given her checking Eliza's room. Mackenzie was being very annoying for most of the episode. Her dictating what Levi can and can't tell people was very controlling and it was a shame in a way that he stuck so slavishly to her wishes and didn't fill Mali in.I'm disappointed that her bullying seems to have worked out and Mali and Abby have agreed to him moving back in.And after all that, it turns out it's just because she suddenly wants a baby? Well, you can tell Tane wasn't expecting that one! Dana was pretty much just in the episode to make up her quota, but her and Abby as friends is an interesting idea.

Again, there's a feeling that while Marilyn will probably be right, she's still the most unpleasant person in the storyline.Her "You can't let her think she's got away with it" summed up everything wrong with her attitude.She's the established foster kid who doesn't like this new girl getting in the way and upsetting things.I had to smile at her ridiculous overreaction to finding Eliza on the stairs, as if she was expecting Eliza to pull out a flamethrower.(And yep, Roo and Marilyn really should know better than to have private conversations without checking anyone's in the hallway!) I'm not sure how harshly to judge Roo's insistence on giving Eliza the benefit of the doubt, she does seem to embrace her explanations a bit too readily.But as ever, it's not clear how genuine Eliza is being: Is there a part of her hoping this fresh start will go differently? Theo continues to be so careless he's got Sonny, who's pretty much a manchild, thinking it's all too much.If Theo gets his car fixed, which seems to be the idea, I'm not sure why he'd still need the money.Are the loans repayments that bad? There was some amusement watching Dana get blind drunk and a bit defensive at another reminder of Xander.Tane seemed a bit uncomfortable with her reassurance: Is the fact Harper likes him more than he likes her starting to weigh him down? I can't say I blame him for turning Eliza down, he has the safety of the others to consider.

I guess it was hard for the police to work out who did what, aside from the one who was daft enough to punch Cash. (Then again, given that he had Gage out for his blood, maybe he thought he'd be safer in jail.) Lacey showed a less attractive side in squaring up to Eden, and I'm bewildered that Theo thought it would be a good idea to take Lacey up to Salt straight after, and that Eden actually served her. I did feel a bit sorry for Lacey with the way Gage was pushing her around afterwards though, so maybe it's no wonder she seems to have found an alternative in Theo. It's hard to see why Theo is going down this route which is making Sonny seem like the level-headed one.Did he want to play white knight with Lacey, or is it the money that attracts him?Or both? It does underline the fact that Dean feels like a throwback to a different era where they used to romantacise that sort of knucklehead bad boy.Now we're seeing what dating someone like would really be like. Marilyn came across as deeply unpleasant here, and it's frustrating that we're probably meant to be on her side.Impersonating Roo to dig up dirt on Eliza just because she acts a bit weird sometimes was a pretty jerk move, and it's hard not to see her "We might not be safe!" as her catastrophising even if Eliza did start a fire. (Which has already been hinted at with her having that lighter.) At least Leah and Justin didn't immediately embrace it. I liked the chat between Cash and Eden about her feeling aimless.

I was mostly left disappointed that Levi was so quick to indulge Dean's psychotic behaviour.There was no need to shut Todd in a boot, it was pure sadism, they could just as easily have stuck him in the back seat and maybe even had Levi looking after him there, it's not like he was in any shape to try anything. Levi taking the blame for stealing the car wasn't really the heartwarming moment the episode made it out to be either, especially with Dean and Karen being their usual charmless selves. It doesn't help that the ending was a complete anti-climax. After we've been told Roscoe's really dangerous, he doesn't put up any fight with Dean at all, and the show demonstrates a rather casual attitude to how dangerous waving lit matches around near accelerant is. Back in normal land, Rose is saying her farewell. I'm sorry to see her go: It's been very refreshing to have a police officer who's both good at her job and professional, rather than one who's turning a blind eye to her friend's crimes or abusing her position. So it's a shame we're stuck with Cash, who isn't as good. I know she and Mali were close once but it feels like we've long since moved on from then so I'm not sure a farewell was needed. I don't object to it but I'd rather have spent more time on her last scene with Cash, although it's nice she had one anyway. There's a touch of Ryder and Bella about the fact they looked like they could have been more than friends at one point but the fact they have stayed friends in a way makes it more special.It's a shame John isn't around for the wave-off, because Rose was probably fonder of him than most people are. I wonder how Forrest will react to Remi pretty much being able to offer a blank cheque! And I notice Remi seems to be getting on better with Cash now Sonny has taken the focus of his ire! I wondered if Karen was still with Brett when she made that comment about her fella last week so nice to get confirmation.

I don't think this stint is doing Dean any favours at all.It's feeling like a greatest hits version of hits that weren't even that great.As much as it'd be nice if the show could leave the River Boys alone, at least the current show portrays them as the sort of people anyone with any sense would give a wide berth.Dean being portrayed as heroic for stealing a car and torturing an injured man feels like a throwback to tropes the show seemed to have moved away from.Two kids with a third on the way, a long-term relationship and possibly earning an honest living (although we haven't been given much clue as to what, if anything, Dean does for a living these days), and at heart he's still a little boy playing cowboys and indians and not wanting the police to spoil his fun.Not that the police are anything more than their usual inefficient selves, failing to notice not one but two stolen cars turning away from their road block.Oh well.At least Mackenzie and Levi are aware of Ziggy's pregnancy, even if this wasn't the circumstance anyone wanted them to find out.We don't get many details about the escape but Todd comes across as someone just caught up in it. The recap of "Everything Dean's done for the last week, relevant or otherwise" left me fearing we'd spend the entire episode in Queensland but thankfully we had some normal stuff back in the Bay.Irene seems more like her old self and Rose is quietly winding down.Justin really needs to learn to read a room, that's twice he's casually told someone about Kirby's solo career and left everyone face-palming.I can understand Eden's frustration that they pretty much seem to be restarting Lyrik without her.

Ah, right, yes, I seem to remember you're outside the normal region. I can see why that would be a problem. Alf's episode count:Suspended. Not for the first time in recent months, Leah didn't appear at all even though I think she's still around. With Alf, John and Harper all away at the moment too, I can't help wondering if their wages were needed to fund the Queensland trip! I can't say I'd missed Dean being a grump these last two episodes, although he did get some good one-liners in there.It was kind of interesting that he and Levi both made the decision to cut the trip short at around the same time.Maybe they've got more in common than they think although Levi also didn't know what to make of Dean a lot of the time.Mackenzie did at least make the point that Dean wouldn't like people to judge him on his past.It kind of feels like an interesting character drama has been derailed by the introduction of a couple of stock baddies.Someone should have reminded them that this kind of thing happens when you go on holiday in this show. Good that Irene managed to resist temptation.Still not clear if Eden knows the full story behind her recent absence but Cash definitely does. Nice of the youngsters to pop in to check on Irene later and I'm glad Rose talked about her taking her and Xander under her wing: It's a shame Irene missed out on the chance to say goodbye to him.Anyway, it seems to have given her the confidence for take two!
