Felicity is thrilled to hear from Rory – it’s clear that Cash’s interrogation didn’t scare him off after all. Rory hangs up to talk to Dingo, who reports that the new cop has started at Mangrove River. When they pull up outside the station, Dingo wonders what they should do next. Rory smirks that they’ll welcome him to town.
Cash pulls into his new post to be met by Constable Devlin. She gives him due warning – the River Boys are everywhere, and he gets a taste first hand when he sees they’ve vandalised his vehicle.
As the culprits watch on gleefully, Cash’s eyes meet Rory’s. Both of their faces fall as Cash realises his sister is dating a River Boy. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Devlin soon tells him that the gang is most likely responsible for his predecessor’s murder.
Cash hurries to track down Felicity and quickly breaks the news that her boyfriend is in a gang, pleading with her to stay away from him. Felicity confronts Rory and he asks for a chance to explain. Felicity challenges Rory to give her one good reason that she shouldn’t dump him right now.
