Cash invites Eden to meet him at the beach, and she works up the courage to see him. He explains he doesn’t want to force the idea of marriage – he simply wants to spend forever with her, whatever that looks like. With that, Eden realises that she does want to marry Cash – her answer is yes.

Harper soon learns Dana lied – Xander knows of her pregnancy, but only after overhearing them talking.
Dana tells Xander to keep quiet, but Rose is in the next room and has heard everything. Dana now has to keep Harper’s news contained, but thrilled Rose is eager to know who the father is.

Felicity tells the Salt team she’s throwing the couple a surprise engagement party. Cash heads off to buy a ring, while Felicity drags Eden off to talk dresses as a distraction.
Learning Eden and Cash won’t be telling Levi themselves, Mac relays the news. He’s happy for them, but a call with his mum reveals only he and their dad weren’t told.
Mac urges Levi to stop pretending he’s not hurt, but he dismisses her. Felicity and Eden later run into Levi, which kills the wedding buzz.
Caught trying to leave a bottle of champagne, Levi awkwardly congratulates his sister and drives off. The expensive olive branch gift sits untouched as Eden admits that champagne can’t make up for what Levi has done.

Irene refuses help, but Bree gently persuades her to stay in the hospital overnight. Irene tries to sneak a drink from the flask in her bag, but is caught red-handed by Bree.
Marilyn visits Irene, and this time she’s fragile and sober as she apologises for her behaviour. John arrives, and he and Irene reconcile after their big row. John wishes he had done more, while Irene admits she has been lying to everyone including herself.

9. Newcomer Abigail flees the Bay
Levi and Eden’s sister Abigail arrives in town. Abigail is disappointed that Levi isn’t attending the engagement bash and tries to change his mind. Mac warns Levi that going would only add fuel to the fire, but Abigail convinces her big brother to drive her to the party, rather than let her hitch a ride with a stranger.
When they arrive, Cash prepares to send Levi away. However, Eden is so thrilled to see her little sister that she asks a surprised Levi and Mac to stay for a drink.
