Home and Away’s Cash Newman is set to face intimidation from the River Boys.
Cash recently started a job in the Mangrove River police department. After arriving, Cash was told that the River Boys gang are likely responsible for the murder of his predecessor Franklin. He is now investigating the crime.
To make matters more difficult, Cash’s sister Felicity has begun a new romance with Rory Templeton, the current leader of the River Boys.
Cash warned his sister of Rory’s troubling background, but she decided to side with her new boyfriend and warned Cash that he’d better get used to seeing more of Rory.
In scenes set to air next week, Mali is worried that he hasn’t been able to offload his surfboard, and Kirby wonders if Felicity knows that her boyfriend is in a gang. She agrees not to say anything, but makes Mali promise that he’ll be wary of the River Boys.
Meanwhile, Cash gets called into work at the police station. When he arrives, he is shocked when a group of intimidating gang members surround his car. Is Cash a match for the River Boys?
Felicity and Rory are smitten after going swimming together, until John urges them to get a room. John is then horrified to discover Rory’s Blood & Sand tattoo, a logo that is synonymous with the River Boys.
When John finds Rory behind the counter at the board shop, he innocently explains that he was just picking up the board that Mali made him.
John tries to warn Felicity, but she defends Rory and his tattoos, and reveals she doesn’t want anyone dictating her love life.
Cash stands strong against the group of River Boys “welcoming” him to Mangrove River, before confronting gang member Dingo. Dingo explains to Cash that they’re now watching him, after he watched them.
Before things can escalate, Dingo gets a call from Rory, who orders them to stand down as he’s coming back with Felicity.
Later, Cash is parked outside a street party and notices Rory arriving with his sister. Worried that Felicity has become at home with the River Boys, Cash demands her to get in his car so they can leave.
When she refuses, Cash returns to the station and orders a hesitant Joanna to run the license plates he’s collected.
Felicity and Rory have gone back to her house and head to the bedroom, before Cash returns and kicks Rory out. Felicity is angry, so Cash tells her that the River Boys are involved in a murder and Rory’s the suspected leader.
An furious Felicity bites back that she was with Rory before Cash got the police job, so not everything is about him. Will Rory and the River Boys continue to come between Cash and Felicity?
