In Home and Away, Heather Fraser’s deranged mind games continue, and Marilyn Chambers (Emily Symons) is on the verge of cracking (1:45pm – see our TV Guide for listings).
Marilyn overhears Heather moaning to Roo Stewart (Georgie Parker) about the immorality of adoption in today’s episode of the Australian soap opera.
Marilyn is irritated by Heather’s judgemental remarks because she has an adopted son named Jet Palmer who now resides in the city and she finds it difficult to control herself.
However, Heather is surprised to learn that Marilyn has an adoptive son.
Following the adoption disagreement at the Diner, Leah Patterson (Ada Nicodemou) dashes after Marilyn.
Leah is concerned for Marilyn and wants to make sure she won’t experience another mental health setback.
But when an emotional Marilyn eventually breaks her silence and divulges the truth about her connection to Heather, Leah receives more than she bargained for.
Will Leah agree to keep Marilyn’s SHOCK SECRET?

When Cash Newman (Nicholas Cartwright) visits Rose (Kirsty Marillier) and Xander Delaney’s (Luke Van Os) apartment, things get a little weird.
To get his sister Rose to accept a medal for her role in the biker gang takedown, Xander has covertly asked Cash, a copper, for assistance.

Rose is prepared to turn down the honour, though, as she continues to have deep regret over the actions that resulted in Cash being shot during a standoff with Marty, the leader of a biker gang.
However, Cash surprisingly has some kind words for Rose that might persuade her to reconsider and accept the honour.
Cash displays bravery despite what has occurred.

However, with his police responsibilities currently on hold and the biker gang preparing to KILL him, Cash quietly keeps going downhill in private.
