Home and Away‘s Justin Morgan will become suspicious of Theo Poulos next week, after overhearing an argument.

Valerie Beaumont will seen be flirting with Theo over breakfast, in scenes that will air next week. Despite them sleeping together, Valerie is careful about public affection, fearing Theo’s aunt Leah, and Leah’s fiancé Justin, might find out about their relationship.

Later, Leah asks Justin and Theo to go surfing so that she can have time with Valerie, who she first met when they were both receiving mental health support at a clinic.

When they’re gone, Leah speaks candidly to her friend, explaining that the clinic were asking about her. Valerie failed to mention that she had discharged herself, and now her counsellor is worried about her.

Though Valerie protests, Leah feels indebted to her for all her support and she wants to return the favour. But Valerie insists she already has, saying she feels 100% safe living with Theo, Justin and Leah, significantly more so than at the clinic.

Valerie promises to check in with her counsellor regardless, but later she becomes emotional and orders Theo to get more pills for them both. Theo is reluctant, but Valerie needs the high and kicks off at him. She tells him that if he really cared about her, he would help.

Despite this, Theo stands firm in his decision not to give her a pill, much to Valerie’s frustration. He is alarmed when he overhears her talking to Leah about how she discharged herself from the clinic.

A desperate Valerie goes through Theo’s bag and guitar case and then shares in detail her trauma and blame from her parents for the death of her brother. This is enough to crack Theo, who agrees to get her a pill.

Unfortunately, Theo’s sympathy backfires when Valerie’s high takes effect just as Kirby Aramoana arrives. He tries to defend Valerie’s emotional state, but Kirby is furious at the person Theo is becoming.

Justin witnesses the argument, leading him to question what Theo is hiding and how Valerie is involved. Will Justin get to the truth?
