Selfless acts and goodwill fill Summer Bay on the next episode of “Home and Away.” On Thursday, Martin “Ash” Ashford (George Mason) is determined to retaliate against Billie Ashford’s (Tessa De Josselin) rapist and the real father of her baby.

The upcoming episode also features other “Home and Away” cast members Phoebe Nicholson (Isabella Giovinazzo), Matt Page (Alec Snow), Evelyn “Evie” MacGuire (Philippa Northeast), Heath Braxton (Dan Ewing) and Bianca Scott (Lisa Gormley).

Back to the Bay reports that on Thursday, Ash almost finds out who raped his sister. Matt, on the other hand, tries to help Phoebe but it doesn’t go smoothly as planned. Meanwhile, Heath can’t seem to escape from his bloody secret.

Seven Network posted a sneak peek of the upcoming episode on its official website. In the trailer, the homicide investigator tells Heath that she has no reason to believe his innocence from murder – he has motive and opportunity to kill, and his story is inconsistent. Meanwhile, Phoebe proposes to organise a music festival with Evie. Speaking of Phoebe, Ash tells her that he’s determined to make Billie’s rapist pay for what he did.

“Home and Away” recap

In the previous episode, Zac was mulling over his near-kiss with Bianca when Leah arrived at Salt. She apologised for almost not making it to their anniversary dinner. Leah wanted to have champagne to celebrate, but Zac said it’s better for them to get home. Meanwhile, Bianca admitted to Heath that she nearly kissed someone the other night. Heath blew his top and demanded who he was but Bianca refused to reveal Zac’s name. He figured it was Zac and threatened to hurt the guy, but Bianca said their marriage is over if Heath does something crazy.

Later, Zac and Bianca cleared the air between them and wished each other luck for their respective relationships. She and Heath spent a warm moment at the beach, reminiscing about their past. They ended up dancing and sharing a romantic kiss. The next day, however, a couple of police officers dropped by and invited him to the station about a homicide investigation.

Meanwhile, things continued to be awkward between Evie and Matt after he professed his feelings for her. Marilyn noticed it and pushed Evie to Matt later. However, Evie said they’re just friends and she won’t mess that up with a relationship. Later, Matt confronted Evie and demanded why she’s avoiding him. That night, Evie pulled Matt aside and told him about her fears in pursuing a relationship with him. However, their conversation kept being cut off, first by a small fire at the site and next by a drunken Hunter. He first ranted about Olivia, then told Evie and Matt that they’re made for each other. When they brought Hunter back to his trailer, Evie and Matt finally acted on their feelings and made out.

Also, Ash was struggling to keep Leah in the dark about Billie’s baby. Every time the baby’s mentioned, he couldn’t help but flinch, and Leah’s welcoming behaviour made him feel more guilty.
