This week on Home and Away in Australia, Andrew’s mysterious past starts to come to light as Marilyn makes progress in her battle against Stunning Organics.
Since she made the decision to work a little bit more to raise money for her son Jett’s (Will McDonald) impending wedding, Marilyn (Emily Symons) has had quite the struggle.
After mulling over several options, she decided to join Stunning Organics, a cosmetic company that seemed to match her love of ethical, cruelty-free products and her passion for beauty (Maz operated a hair shop during one of her earlier stints in Summer Bay).
Marilyn felt certain that she and Stunning Organics were a suitable match because of the business’s positive ratings.
The strategy was straightforward: the business would send her monthly shipments of its goods, which she would then resell for a profit. Even though she had no idea how to promote them, Kirby (Angelina Thomson) and social media appeared to be able to help her make it work.
When more boxes than expected arrived, Marilyn attributed it to her own error, but events quickly came undone.
When Alf (Ray Meagher) checked the product’s ingredient label and saw that the contents weren’t as natural as Maz had been lead to believe, he became concerned because one of the goods had caused Roo (Georgie Parker) to experience an allergic reaction.
The positive evaluations Marilyn had read were quickly revealed to be slightly biassed because they were all on Stunning Organics’ own website. When Marilyn and her pals started researching the business, they discovered that there were a tonne of negative reviews on the web including allergic reactions and horrible treatment of their brand ambassadors.
It turned out that Maz was not the only individual who had received more stuff than they had bought; the company’s strategy appeared to be to send an increasing number of boxes to their unwitting marketing ambassadors.
Marilyn signed up for a year, and when she tried to cancel her subscription, she found that there was no cancellation clause; the company would keep shipping her boxes every week for the rest of her contract.
She decided to expose the company last week by doing so on social media. She and Kirby created a video that quickly gained popularity, but after that, Maz was warned by the business to take down her post or risk legal repercussions.
When she divulged that the boxes had been accumulating at Irene’s (Lynne McGranger) house, she eventually admitted to Alf how much difficulty she was in.
This week, Marilyn receives a lifeline with a little assistance from her pals.
According to TV Week, Alf and Roo start looking for former Stunning Organics workers in the hopes that they will corroborate Marilyn’s account and provide them with proof to use against the shady business. Nobody is willing to speak on the record, so it’s still Maz’s word against the firm, despite their best efforts.
According to Emily, who speaks to TV Week, “they find out all the other brand ambassadors were duped.” “Stunning Organics deceives consumers into signing up every day. And these helpless folks are powerless to escape.
When a label on one of the cosmetic bottles starts to come off, Maz and Co. realise they’ve hit the jackpot just as they start to feel like they’re losing the war. Another label with a different corporate name is located underneath.
They eventually realise that the business merely applies new labels over the old ones and keeps closing down and reopening under various brand names. They avoid getting caught by never using one name over an extended period of time.
Finally having anything to work with, Roo sends Stunning Organics an email warning them to free Marilyn from her contract or she will present the new material to the police.
For this Thursday’s shows, spoilers indicate that the strategy is successful since “Marilyn gets what she wished for.”
The catch, as revealed by the spoilers, is that it appears the story may still have a long way to go.
As Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) and Justin (James Stewart) get closer to learning the truth about Andrew’s history, the story of Andrew (Joshua Hewson) gets more and more concerning in other episodes this week.
Who is the new character Andrew, too?
The devastating news that Andrew’s father Archie had passed away from a heart attack was revealed to Cash on the episode of Monday.
Finding out what has been happening to Andrew over the past five years is becoming more and more challenging for the couple now that both of his parents are no longer in the picture.
After looking through the police files, Cash discovered a poster for a missing person, which was his final breakthrough. When Andrew was four years old, it appears that his father kidnapped him, and he hasn’t been seen since.
In the upcoming episode, when Andrew, Theo (Matt Evans), and Kirby go to the beach, they’re surprised to see that Andrew is an expert swimmer, jumping into the waves like he’s lived in Summer Bay for years.
Theo comments to Andrew, “I still can’t believe it, you were so good out there.” “I had no idea that you could swim.”
“Me neither,” replies Andrew. They are all taken aback, and it appears that Andrew doesn’t recall much of his past.
Kirby muses, “I wonder what else you’re going to learn about you.
As the week progresses, Cash confronts Andrew about his kidnapping and explains that his father took him when he was only four years old. Cash queries Andrew about whether he recalls running away or coming to the city, but the interrogation quickly wears Andrew down to the point where he erupts in wrath.
Later, Andrew assures Justin, “Dad would never do anything like that policeman was saying.”
Justin thinks that if Andrew could get in touch with his mother, it would improve his life, therefore Cash and Justin are hoping to find her. But they quickly discover that Andrew had been held hostage by a well-known cult.
Cash cautions Justin, “I’ve never dealt with anything like this before.” “You must exercise caution.”
In a preview for upcoming episodes, Cash and Justin are seen driving to a rural place to find the enigmatic sect. However, when they encounter a man carrying a crossbow, things swiftly take a nasty turn.
Are they ready to put themselves in grave peril in their quest for the truth as another man walks towards them?
