Back to the Bay reports that on Thursday, Olivia is embroiled in another cyberbullying incident. Meanwhile, John and Chris work together, while Mason and Evie struggle handling their “friends with benefits” status. Also on Thursday, Mason gears up to tell Evie that he wants to have a more serious relationship with her. Marilyn, on the other hand, finds out that she has a secret admirer. Elsewhere, Matt and Evie try to help Ellie with her learning disability.

Seven Network posted a sneak peek of the Sept. 15 episode. In the trailer, Evie asks Mason what’s the point of being friends with benefits if they don’t get the “benefit.” The two then make out. Meanwhile, Ellie complains to Matt that Evie’s a horrible teacher. The young girl reckons Evie’s just helping her in her studies for uni credits – it’s not because Evie cares for her. At school, Olivia discovers she has a fake profile, and wonders when it would all end.

“Home and Away” recap

In the previous episode, Decker was rushed to the hospital after being involved in a car crash. Tori recognised him and immediately tended to him, but Nate said he’ll take over. Tori then heard Decker’s phone ringing and answered it, surprised that Justin was calling their police protector. Justin was also stunned to hear her sister’s voice. He and Brody then rushed to the hospital to have a talk with Tori. They worried that the syndicate may had been responsible for Decker’s “accident,” and they could be the next targets.

Later, Nate informed the Morgans that Decker’s in terrible shape. They wanted to talk to him, but it’s not possible. As they discussed their next steps, Justin suggested going to the address that Decker gave to Phoebe. Brody and Tori disagreed, but Justin insisted going. He went to Phoebe’s place but she wasn’t there. Kat let him in and allowed him to look for the envelope that Decker gave. Sensing trouble, Kat volunteered to go with Justin but he refused.

Curious about what’s going on, Kat did some investigation and found out that Decker’s from the federal force. She wondered what’s a fed doing at Summer Bay. The next day, Kat sought Ash’s help about Justin. She suspected that the car accident was deliberate, and that Justin might be heading towards something extremely dangerous. It turned out that Kat copied the address written on the envelope. She and Ash then chased after Justin.

Meanwhile, Billie was ecstatic when she accidentally discovered Ash’s surprise for her: a customised baby stroller. Kat was also there to share their joy, after helping Ash work on it. When Kat left, Billie teased her brother, noting that it’s obvious there’s still attraction between the two. Ash said Kat’s not interested and he’s respecting her decision. Billie’s not buying it – she believed Ash and Kat still have a future together.

Later, Billie approached Kat to discuss Ash. Billie tried to build her brother up, but Kat said she can’t trust Ash, which was a deal-breaker. Billie was relentless, and it looked like she’s getting through Kat. Billie continued to push Ash and Kat together, finding excuses for them to hang out. When Ash called her to it, Billie shared with him about her conversation with Kat and he looked pleased.

Olivia’s being bullied online, and it’s clear that Tabitha’s causing it. VJ and Hunter advised her against reacting, as it would only fuel the fire. She agreed and turned off her phone, but she can’t help worrying about Tabitha’s posts. Hunter and Olivia were enjoying hanging out together, but she said things would have been better if Tabitha stops what she’s doing. It looked like Tabitha’s not ready to stop, however. VJ arrived and said the situation had gone worse – Tabitha posted online some of Olivia’s private videos.

At school, everyone mocked and laughed at Olivia. She decided she can’t take it anymore and decided to face up to Tabitha. Olivia completely lashed at Tabitha about her cruel and unfair moves. Olivia also ordered her former friend to stop ruining her life. She was horrified, however, when Tabitha just coolly replied, “I haven’t even started.”
