Grief and Confrontation: Cassandra’s Arrival

The tragic hit-and-run death of Theo at the hands of Wendell has plunged the residents into a cycle of grief and accusation.

• Theo’s Mother Accuses Leah: Cassandra (Theo’s mother) arrived in Summer Bay unexpectedly, immediately lashing out at Leah (Theo’s aunt). Cassandra criticized Leah for failing to inform her that Theo had moved out and was involved with Lacey, believing Leah had failed to keep her son safe.

• The Shocking Truth Revealed: During a tense meeting with Sergeant David (Lacey’s father), the full truth came to light: Wendell was the driver who killed David’s wife and ran over Theo. David explained that Theo was with Lacey as she tried to confront Wendell, and that Theo ultimately “died a hero” by saving Lacey’s life.

• The Heartbreaking Ban: Despite hearing the details, Cassandra’s anger did not subside. She blamed Lacey for indirectly causing her son’s death and turned her wrath back on Leah. In a devastating blow, Cassandra forbade Leah from attending Theo’s funeral: “You’re not coming to the funeral! Stay away from me and my family!”
