“Home and Away” recap

On Monday, everyone was talking about the Morgans – or the Lee family as it is now out. Justin, Brody and Raffy were shocked to see Salt completely trashed, accusing them of being part of the drug syndicate. Raffy suggested moving, but Justin refused, saying Summer Bay is their home. Later, Raffy overheard some townsfolk talking trash about her family and she gave them a piece of her mind. Phoebe intervened and clarified that the Morgans/Lees are good people. Justin overheard Phoebe defending him and the whole family, and he looked absolutely touched.

Meanwhile, Tori explained everything to Nate, who got overwhelmed with all the information he got. Alf advised him that the last thing she needs at that moment is judgement. Later, Nate invited over Tori and asked why she waited too long to tell him after their secret was out. Tori couldn’t answer and Nate realised that she’s really just protecting herself. Nate blew his top over Tori’s lies and inconsistencies. “I would not be in another relationship where there’s no trust,” he said. Tori insisted that Nate could trust her, but she refused to be completely honest with him. Nate said it’s a deal-breaker for him.

Elsewhere, Justin went to Phoebe’s and sought comfort from her. He told her what happened with Nina and feared that she’s cutting him from Ava’s life. Phoebe assured him that things would work out. Justin told her about his plan – to move on and finally pursue a relationship with her -- but things aren't falling into place as he expected.

At the garage, Matt struggled to hold the fort, considering Justin and Ash weren’t there and the media was calling re the drug syndicate issue. Evie came over and he figured he deserved a break. They soon ended up making out. However, their moment got interrupted when she smelled smoke. They were shocked to see that the place was on fire. As Matt tried putting it out, Evie was screaming for him to stop, scared that he might hurt himself.
