Back to the Bay reports that on Monday, Hope has another run-in with the authorities. Meanwhile, Matt and Evie get their friendship back on track when he helps Evie organise the charity volleyball match.

Seven Network posted a sneak peek of the upcoming episodes. In the trailer, Phoebe and Brody confronted Hope about the missing money. Hope feigns innocence, but then locks Phoebe in the storage room and steals more money. Raffy stumbles upon the document that says she’s related to the Morgans and asks Tori and Justin about it. Elsewhere, Billie wonders who beat up her brother, who’s badly injured. Ash promises Kat again that he’d take care of it, then tells his attacker that he’ll work for Simmo.

“Home and Away” recap

In the previous episode, Phoebe and Raffy were surprised when Hope suddenly turned up at the doorstep. Hope had the gall to ask Phoebe for a job. Justin told Hope that he’d make sure that she’ll get a job at Salt if she told Raffy the truth and take back whatever nasty thing she said about the Morgans. Hope soon found herself working at Salt and Phoebe was surprised to see she’s trying to change. However, Hope didn’t seem to have learned anything from prison – she was seen stealing some money from the cash register.

Kat learned that Simmo’s been blackmailing Ash about their relationship. She flipped out, knowing that she could lose her job over it. Ash promised to fix the whole thing. At the garage, Ash knocked Simmo out and took him to a secluded place. Ash threatened Simmo to delete the photos and disappear or he’ll be locked up in prison for a long time. Ash then reported to Kat that everything’s sorted, but it seemed things were about to get worse. It seemed Simmo tampered with Billie’s car. Fortunately, VJ noticed it before they get harmed.

Later, Ash met with Simmo, determined to make him pay for what he attempted to do with Billie. However, it seems Simmo is one step ahead and brought friends with him. Ash ended up being badly beaten up, proving that Simmo's someone that he shouldn't mess up with.

Leah didn’t want anything to have to do with Billie and VJ’s wedding plans. She felt like Billie’s forcing the whole issue. Later, Billie confronted Leah about it. Leah told her that if Billie’s having doubts, she shouldn’t rush into the whole wedding scene. Billie said she has no doubts anymore and wanted Leah to be part of it. The two made up and hugged it out.
