As the pressure on Felicity grows this week on Home and Away in Australia, she turns to desperate methods.
This week, Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) has to lie to her own family in order to raise an additional $10,000 to pay off her assailant.
If getting poisoned and assaulted during the Battle of the Bands competition wasn’t bad enough, the evil person who did it also took pictures and videos of Flick while she was unconscious and threatened to make them public unless she paid up.
When Flick got the first message, she quickly alerted her husband Tane (Ethan Browne), and she was determined that she didn’t want the police to get involved. She didn’t want her brother Cash (Nicholas Cartwright), who has mysteriously been authorised to work on the case, to ever watch it since not only would doing so increase the likelihood that the assailant would learn about it and post the film anyhow.
Tane reluctantly agreed with Flick’s choice and deposited $1000 to the bank account provided in the hopes that it would be the end of the matter.
Naturally, as can be expected, it wasn’t.
A second communication was sent to Flick last week informing him that the video’s worth had recently risen to a stunning $10,000. There was no doubt in Flick’s mind that they had to pay him, despite Tane’s opinion that it would be unwise to give in to his demands once more given that he could simply return repeatedly and make new ones.
In a preview for this week’s episodes, Flick complains to Tane that “He’s forcing me to relive it, every time he decides he wants more money.” I’m sick to death of playing the victim.
Later, Remi (Adam Rowland) is shown embracing Flick after she has worked herself up outside the surf club and saying, “I feel like I’m drowning.”
Flick and Tane consent to disregard the attacker’s demands in the hopes of calling his bluff, according to TV Week. But when a second message says they have until 9 a.m. tomorrow to find the money, it seems Flick can’t take the chance.
In an effort to obtain a loan, Flick schedules a meeting with the bank. While doing so, he occasionally glances at the money in Salt’s till.
Flick spots an opportunity for the company to make some money, though, and considers holding the album launch party in Salt after she overhears Remi and the band discussing it.
However, it appears that “band manager” Justin (James Stewart) and Remi have their sights set on something more significant, which means that Flick’s scheme is unsuccessful.
In desperation, Flick goes to Cash. She isn’t going to reveal what’s happening, though. Instead, when she pays him a visit at the police station, Flick asks him for a $10,000 loan because she needs to assist Lyrik with the album release.
Cash has been frustrated by his sister’s and Tane’s silence over something that he knows has been going on with her. Cash consents to lend Flick the money despite his worries that she is not being honest with him.
But given that Cash is dating one of the band members, Flick is quickly exposed.
Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) tells Cash that she has no idea what he’s talking about when he suggests that she might have approached him directly if the band needed money. Flick had offered Salt for the launch celebration, but they had declined her.
Cash recognises right away that his own sister has duped him!
Will Flick ultimately admit the threats were real and offer an explanation for how she got into this situation?
