As the investigation into the gas attack continues this week on Home and Away in Australia, more evidence appears to point to Felicity as the perpetrator. Is she a victim of a set-up?
All indicators have pointed to Felicity since the catastrophic gas attack at Martha’s fundraiser gala, which left numerous Summer Bay favorites hospitalized (Jacqui Purvis).
She seemed to be the only one with a motive, as the attack appeared to be directed at Tane (Ethan Browne), who had accused her of stalking him for weeks.
Furthermore, it had only been a few hours since she said the Parata
Brother would receive what he deserved!
She devised a strategy to clear her name last week. The couple concocted an alibi for Felicity with the help of Anne (Megan Smart), a club colleague. They agreed that they’d spent the entire afternoon and evening baking cookies (or were they brownies?) together at Anne’s house.
It was hoped that having a good alibi would be enough to get her off the hook. Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) was also now on her side; while her brother initially doubted her, he realized there was no way she would have put his own life, as well as the lives of half of the Bay, at peril.
This week, however, she’s having trouble keeping her calm as more of Summer Bay turns against her.
Felicity, according to Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo), is to blame. It was clear that she was the only one who had a problem with his uncle. When he and Bella (Courtney Miller) pay a visit to Tane in the hospital, a nurse is carrying him a box of red roses, he’s even more sure.
He becomes enraged, certain Felicity sent them as a sadistic prank.
“They’re roses, Bella.” Roses in red! She’s playing a cruel prank on our family, and it’s ruining everything.”
He launches an online campaign against her soon after, and it doesn’t take long for it to go widespread.
Bella is worried that it may get him in trouble, and she asks him what will happen if the police charge him with harassment. He doesn’t seem to mind, however, and tells his girlfriend that Felicity will “pay for what she’s done.”
She returns to the caravan park to find the words “TOXIC FELICITY” scrawled across her caravan in green paint, with his thousands of loyal social media followers assuming that Flick was behind the attack.
“Felicity is feeling worried, alienated, and anxious,” Jacqui tells TV Week about the latest development. She has the impression that the entire world is against her. But, like Felicity, she’s keeping strong and attempting to get through this difficult time with grit.”
While Cash and Jasmine (Sam Frost) remain on her side, her best buddy appears to be turning against her.
She goes to the Yabbie Creek Police Station to report the green graffiti, just in time to watch Anne leave, having admitted that she was with Felicity when the attack occurred, according to TV Week.
Is there any way she can avoid going to prison now that her lone alibi has been compromised?
Furthermore, things are about to get a lot worse when Detective Nasser (Julian Maroun) arrives at the caravan park with a squad of officers.
While Cash may have burned the organophosphate receipt, the lone piece of evidence linking Felicity to the attack, the cops’ forensic investigation of Flick’s caravan uncovers something much more damning: a bottle of the sedatives used to knock down Tane!
Even Cash has to concede that the relationship between his sister and Tane is becoming increasingly difficult to deny as Felicity is loaded into the back of a police car and driven away.
“Cash wants to believe Flick when she says she’s been set up,” Nicholas said of the new development in an interview with TV Week. “However, there are just too many red flags for him to fully support her.”
Then someone responds to Nikau’s social media post, mentioning the pesticide receipt that was discovered in her trailer and afterward burned by Cash. Is the assailant someone closer than Felicity ever imagined conceivable, given that only she and Cash knew about it?
Thankfully, Felicity appears to be close to figuring out the attacker’s true identity. Felicity seeks solace with someone in her caravan in a promo for the ongoing storyline, before piecing together the puzzle and realizing the attacker is right in front of her.
“You were the one who did it.” “All along, it was you!”
Who is she conversing with? And will she be able to notify the authorities in a timely manner?
