Mackenzie is battling to keep Felicity’s secret. When Tane floods her with more questions, she insists that she is not the one who needs to be straight with him and he needs to talk to his wife. Tane returns home ready to interrogate Felicity, who suspiciously keeps her bag within reaching distance. When he asks about its contents, she delivers the items one at a time – eventually revealing the pills.
Felicity is caught out in what has grown to be an all-consuming lie to Tane, and his heart sinks fast. Unravelling the gravity of what this means, he packs a bag and heads out the door, much to Felicity’s dismay.
Cash arrives home just in time to get caught up in the fight. His attempt to stop Tane from leaving results in Tane firing a punch, and Cash is sent into the ground with a split lip.
Felicity appeals to Cash, begging her brother to help make it right. However, after giving her full explanation to Cash, his opinion is less aligned with hers than she expected. Cash does not share the sympathy she was hoping for and, for once, her brother is not on her side.
Tane kicks everyone out of the gym and Mackenzie figures she knows exactly why. He is inconsolable and locked into the decision that he will not be returning home – not ever.
Meanwhile, Irene continues to push Harper and Dana away, knowing it will help their case if they cut ties with her. Dana feels bad she dragged Irene into this, but Harper might be forced to put herself first for once. Harper explains to her sister she knows that Irene is tough, but even tough people need someone in their corner when things go bad.
Irene is despondent, making her way into court alone – until Harper and Dana catch up to her. They announce that they’ve talked it out and decided Irene’s not the boss of them. If they want to show up in support of her, then she can’t stop them. Irene is overwhelmed with relief to have the girls in her corner.
