Andrew Rodwell is the most competent police officer that Erinsborough has had in some time (Admittedly, that bar isn’t incredibly high). He is straight-laced and a real passion for right and wrong, but in recent time, those lines have become blurred with his bad-boy brother moving onto the street.
Felix, currently on parole after serving time for his involvement in a series of robberies, has pledged to stay on the straight and narrow to his brother, but viewers have seen him pair up with local scumbag Slade and plan a robbery to help him finance his escape from Australia.
As Felix lays his final plan to steal the supplies from the building site, things go wrong when Cara steps in and makes a citizen’s arrest on Slade. Without his wingman, Felix is going to struggle to pull off the job. But when JJ agrees to step into Slade’s role, Felix’s plan may just work after all.
On the night before the robbery, Felix plans a big dinner with Andrew and Wendy to say thank you for their support. They have no idea this is also Felix’s farewell dinner as he plans to disappear as soon as the robbery is complete.
Spending time with Andrew and his family, Felix starts to feel sad at the thought of leaving this new life he has built for himself since leaving prison, but realises he has to go. Seeing JJ’s relationship with Cara, he also realises that he can’t drag this good young man into a life of crime and so tells JJ he doesn’t need his help anymore, lying that he has found someone else to be with him for the job.
JJ works out that Felix isn’t being honest and so still turns up at the building site the next morning. Reluctantly, Felix agrees to bring him along. The job is on.
Back on Ramsay Street, Holly finds plans for the robbery hidden inside a book given to her by Felix. Working out what Felix is up to, she alerts Andrew. He struggles to believe that Felix is up to no good but promises to follow-up.
Andrew approaches the site just as Felix and JJ have finished the robbery. Due to a misunderstanding, JJ jumps into the van and knocks over some scaffolding, which lands on Andrew.
Will Felix admit to his plans? Will he stick around to save his brother? All this will be revealed in the episodes of Neighbours coming up from April 3rd with new episodes streaming from 7am Monday-Thursday on Amazon Freevee and Amazon Prime Video.
