Cash initially lies that he’s too busy with work, but eventually voices his concerns over the ceremony. Dana admits that she’s worried too, but insists they have to push past their doubts and make the wedding as special as possible.

Meanwhile, Tane asks Dana to find out why Irene has declined her invitation to the wedding. John is surprised to overhear this and seeks answers from Justin and Leah over what might be going on.

A surprising shift in Rose’s mood this week catches Cash off guard in Home and Away. Normally composed and professional, Rose is in noticeably high spirits when she arrives at work, prompting Cash to wonder what’s behind the sudden change. The mystery is soon resolved when Rose shares that she’s finally taken the plunge and applied to become a detective—a long-standing goal that marks a major turning point in her career.

While Rose is excited about the new challenge, her decision also opens up an opportunity for Cash, as her departure would free up her current role. She gently suggests that he could consider reclaiming his old position. This sets Cash on a path of self-reflection. Sitting at his desk, he ponders whether going back to his previous role is truly what he wants or if he’s simply being drawn back by the familiarity of it all. The crossroads he’s at becomes increasingly apparent, and it’s clear that Cash has more thinking to do before making any big moves.

Away from the station, tensions surrounding Tane and Harper’s upcoming wedding continue to simmer. Dana is surprised and disappointed when she hears that Cash has considered pulling out of his role in the ceremony. When she confronts him about it, he initially hides behind the excuse of being too busy at work. However, under Dana’s gentle but firm questioning, Cash opens up. He confesses that he has lingering doubts—not about the couple themselves, but about the concept of love and commitment in the wake of his own personal heartaches.

Dana, who admits she’s nervous too, reminds Cash that their job as part of the wedding party is to support Tane and Harper. She encourages him to put aside his reservations and help make the day as special as possible for the couple.

Meanwhile, Tane grows curious when Irene unexpectedly declines her wedding invitation. Wanting answers, he asks Dana to discreetly find out more. John overhears the concern and later discusses it with Justin and Leah. Worried for their friend, John and Leah make a trip to visit Irene at rehab.

Irene opens up, explaining that she’s reached a critical phase in her recovery and doesn’t want to overcommit. Despite her honesty, she later confides in John during a phone call that there’s something deeper troubling her—but she isn’t ready to share it just yet.
