Since arriving in Summer Bay, Sonny has been crashing at the home of his childhood best mate, Remi (Adam Rowland).

With Remi now a newly minted millionaire, he’s been generously giving Sonny free rein with his credit card—no strings attached. But beneath Sonny’s easygoing exterior, there’s always been a flicker of resentment towards Remi.

Remi grew up with everything handed to him on a platter—despite his insistence on creating his own path—whilst Sonny’s teenage years were marked by hardship after his parents lost everything. Remi had taken Sonny in back then, but even now, the imbalance still lingers.

Later that evening, over a bottle of wine with Bree, Sonny opens up a little. Bree relates to his frustration—she came from nothing herself and had to hustle every step of the way to get where she is now. It’s not easy watching others breeze through life with an easy pass.

With the wine flowing, a tipsy Bree confesses that sometimes it drives her up the wall too.

The two share a laugh… and then Sonny makes a colossal mistake. In a moment of blurred judgment, he leans in and tries to kiss his best mate’s girlfriend!

Bree recoils immediately as she asks Sonny what he thinks he’s doing. Sonny claims that he misread the vibe, but Bree angrily points out there WAS no vibe.

Panicked, Sonny pleads with her not to tell Remi, insisting it was just a stupid mistake. But Bree stands firm—she won’t lie for him.

And as fate would have it, Remi walks through the door right at that moment, asking what’s going on.

Bree doesn’t hesitate. She tells him everything.

Within minutes, Remi has Sonny’s bag packed for him, accusing him of using him since turning up in Summer Bay. Sonny tries to explain that it was a silly mistake, but Remi isn’t interested in his excuses as he throws him out.

The next morning, Theo finds Sonny sleeping in his car, and learns that he’s been kicked out.

Sonny offers to buy Theo breakfast as he tries to work out his next move, but unsurprisingly finds that Remi has cancelled the credit card.

Theo tries to play peacemaker as they head to the share house, but Remi shuts him down cold—he wants nothing more to do with him.

Realising words alone won’t fix the damage, Sonny figures the only way to earn back even a shred of respect is to start paying off his debts to Remi.

With both Sonny and Theo now desperate for fast cash, Sonny decides to follow up on a shady job offer he got from Gage.

Roping Theo in to join him, the two head out to the address of a rural property which they find to be full of revheads and souped-up cars.

Gage approaches and Sonny introduces Theo. Right off the bat, Theo clocks the ‘Blood and Sand’ tattoo on Gage’s arm, and an alarm goes off in his head.

Gage gives the pair the grand tour, the purpose of the garage becoming clear as they see various cars being stripped for parts.

But Theo soon gets distracted. His gaze is drawn to a gleaming Falcon XY, and even more so to the girl carefully polishing it.

The girl, Lacey (Sophea Pennington), strikes up a flirty conversation, quizzing Theo on the car’s specs, and he’s immediately hooked.

The vibe shifts fast when a brawl between two of the mean erupts on the workshop floor. Gage steps in with brutal efficiency, using a wrench to smash one of their ankles without blinking, ending the fight.

Theo pulls Sonny aside, trying to voice his unease, but his concern takes a backseat when Lacey asks him for help.

Smitten, Theo charms his way through the task and scores her number… only to glance over moments later and see her wrapped around Gage.

Are Sonny and Theo getting themselves into dangerous territory?
