“Home and Away” recap

In the previous episode, Olivia was surprised to see Hunter training with John at the beach when he’s supposed to be studying for an English exam. She wasn’t aware that Hunter’s considering buying off the test so he could pass. After learning about Hunter’s situation, Zac dropped by the beach to talk to him. When Hunter asked for his help studying, Zac said he’s on his way to a meeting.

Upset, Hunter walked off and texted Rebecca that he’s in. He borrowed $300 from Olivia to pay off Rebecca, saying that he’s hiring a tutor. On his way out, Roo arrived and overheard their conversation. She volunteered to help Hunter for free, messing up his plans. However, he’s surprised that Roo really made it easy for him to understand Shakespeare, that he ditched Rebecca and decided to really study.

However, Rebecca clearly didn’t like being stood up and went to the diner to look for him. She saw Olivia and spilled that Hunter’s buying the English exam from her. Olivia blasted Hunter for it in front of Irene and Roo. Later, Hunter and Olivia met with Zac and Leah to discuss Hunter’s attempt to cheat. Zac said that Hunter would have to face the consequences. Hunter, for his part, blamed his dad, saying none of this would have happened if Zac only helped him. Hunter ran after Olivia and explained his side. He promised Olivia he won’t do anything like that again and the two made up.

When Hunter left, Leah lashed out at Zac for being too busy at work. In the middle of their argument, a message from a certain Sam came in, saying “I’m waiting.” He left Leah in bad terms. Earlier, Zac went to Salt for his “meeting.” He clearly lied to Hunter when he said it’s a guy he’s going to talk to. A woman arrived – who apparently was Sam – and apologised for being late, but soon enough, they’re into a deep conversation about his past. When Sam got up to get more drinks, Leah came barging in, angry at him for not answering his phone and for rebuffing Hunter. Leah noticed there were two glasses on the table and realised Zac’s there with someone. When she asked who, he lied and said it was one of the teachers. He promised to sort things out with Hunter and practically shoved Leah out the door. That night, Zac went to Sam’s place and said he’s nervous. “I’ve never done anything like this before,” he said, but continued that he really wanted to do it.

Meanwhile, Justin went over to Phoebe’s house to look for Raffy, who was at the hospital visiting Hope. Phoebe was upset that Justin didn’t tell her about Decker. Justin apologised and said that a lot’s been going on. She became even more irritated when she realised Justin’s keeping more secrets from her. Backed in a corner, Justin revealed that Raffy is Hope’s sister. When their discussion shifted to them, Justin seemed unprepared to commit, leaving Phoebe disappointed.

Phoebe ranted to Marilyn while Justin confided in on John, and in the end, the two were able to see clearly where the other one’s coming from. Phoebe went over to Justin’s and the two threshed out their issues. Justin told Phoebe that she means so much to him, and she said the same thing to him. When Justin leaned in for a kiss, Phoebe stopped him and said that they shouldn’t dive into anything until he settled things first with Raffy. “This… us… we can wait,” Phoebe said.
