Back to the Bay reports that on Wednesday, Olivia can’t take Tabitha’s acts of vengeance anymore. Meanwhile, Kat and Ash still have feelings for each other, but they fight hard to quell it. Elsewhere, Justin goes off to look for answers about Decker.

Seven Network posted a sneak peek of the Sept. 14 episode. In the trailer, Decker is rushed to the hospital after his accident and Tori recognises him. Justin recommends going to the address that Decker gave them. Kat warns that it could be dangerous. Meanwhile, Olivia is horrified to see someone looking like her in a scandalous video. She warns Tabitha to stop ruining her life, but the latter says she hasn’t even started.

“Home and Away” recap

In the previous episode, Kat received a call from a possible employer, and she discovered that Ash pitched her for the job. She went to the garage to thank Ash, and the two bonded over fixing up a baby stroller for Billie's daughter. Kat was touched when she learned that Ash has been learning about Spanish so he could talk to Kat in that language.

Duncan was enjoying his time with Bryce and Caroline. Roo asked her for her true motives about her visit, but Caroline said she’s just there to bring her son and his dad together. However, it didn’t seem that it’s the only reason – when left alone, Caroline tried to appeal her case to Duncan. She started to cry and Duncan comforted her while Alf watched them from a distance. Later, Alf didn’t hesitate expressing his thoughts about Caroline, saying that he doesn’t want Duncan to start falling again for her. Duncan appreciated his father’s concern, but told him to back off and give him some space.

When Bryce seemed to distance himself from Alf because of how the old man’s treating Caroline, Alf decided it’s time to reach out to her. Alf and Caroline agreed to be civil with each other for the sake of Bryce. However, Alf threatened Caroline not to mess around with Duncan anymore.

Meanwhile, Brody told Justin about his dream – his mum in a heated argument with some guy. Decker kept bugging Justin, but he refused to talk to him. Later, Decker went to Phoebe’s house and gave her a small envelope. “If you care about Justin, see that he gets it,” Decker said. Kat tried to interrogate for being weird, but Phoebe dodged her questions. Phoebe spotted Brody at the beach and told him about Decker’s little visit. She said to tell Justin about the envelope.

Brody invited Decker over their house to talk about the syndicate’s rat in the force. Brody confronted him about bothering Phoebe, and Decker revealed that he’s also now a target by the syndicate. Decker then told Brody the same thing he instructed Justin – if anything happens to him, go to the address written inside the envelope. Decker then said something that made Brody realise he’s the guy who’s been arguing with their mum. He immediately called Justin to tell him that Decker has been lying to them right from the start.

When Brody told Justin about his discovery, the latter was dumfounded. It couldn’t be true – they met Decker after their parents died. Brody’s memory of his mum and the mystery guy was when he was 9 years old. Justin then called Decker to get some answers. However, it seemed that Decker was involved in a car crash, and the person responsible just drove off.
