Home and Away has aired a new promo previewing Felicity Newman’s death, after she collapsed in tonight’s Australian episode.
Today’s episode saw Flick (Jacqui Purvis) and Remi (Adam Rowland) blindfold newly engaged Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) and Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) and lead them down to the beach, where they revealed a surprise engagement party, complete with food, bar, DJ and dance-floor.
Recent episodes saw Cash make a spur-of-the-moment decision to propose to Eden, having never previously suggested that marriage was on the cards.
In fact, when Eden pranked Cash into thinking he’d proposed after Tane (Ethan Browne) and Felicity’s wedding, he was horrified at the idea.
It was partly that reaction which caused Eden to hesitate in saying yes, but after a little encouragement from Remi, and assurance from Cash that he was indeed sincere in his proposal, she excitedly told him that she’d marry him.
As Summer Bay’s younger members gathered to celebrate, the party also provided a reunion of sorts for Felicity and ex-husband Tane, who split late last year.
The pair had agreed to start trying for a baby, but Felicity wasn’t ready and continued to take her birth control pills behind Tane’s back. When Tane discovered the truth, he ended their relationship immediately.
As the festivities got underway, Tane invited his estranged wife to dance with him, and they both looked blissfully happy as they chatted and danced together.
When they headed up to Salt to grab more alcohol, Flick began flirting, telling Tane to “put those muscles to good use” as she ordered him to the store room to grab some crates of wine.
Felicity then uttered the immortal words that would guarantee the arrival of tragedy: “You know what I think? It’s only good things for the both of us from here on out. I think we deserve it.”
The sight of the pair slow dancing was a concern for Dana (Ally Harris), whose sister Harper (Jessica Redmayne) is currently hiding the fact that she’s pregnant with Tane’s baby.
Asking Xander (Luke Van Os) whether he thought that Tane and Flick were going to get back together, he replied: “Well if you ask me, I feel like they never stopped loving each other.”
At the end of the evening, as Flick, Tane, the engaged couple, and the remaining stragglers headed back to Salt, disaster struck.
Felicity took her brother to one side and told him: “Maybe we’re not cursed. We deserve to be happy, and I have a feeling we’re gonna be.”
As Tane brought up more drinks in the Eskee, Flick told him to leave it, before directing Xander to finish his shift and have a dance with Dana.
She opened Tane a beer, and told him “it’s funny how things turn out.”
“Yeah. That was us not long ago,” he replied, looking in Cash and Eden’s direction. “I’ll always be there for you, you know that, right? If you ever need anything.”
“So are we gonna dance again?” Flick asked. But seconds later, her vision went blurry.
