In Episode 8345 of *Home and Away*, Xander comes up with a bold plan that could potentially
save Salt from further chaos. McKenzie, frustrated with Cash’s behavior, tries to reason with him,
but Cash remains stubborn. Overwhelmed, McKenzie steps out of Salt for a breather and
leaves Xander in charge. Sensing the growing tension, Xander manages to calm Cash down and prevent him from disrupting things even more. That’s when Xander has a lightbulb moment—he suggests to McKenzie that he could buy Cash out of Salt. Xander envisions the two of them becoming partners, much like Felicity had been before. Although McKenzie appreciates Xander’s enthusiasm, she knows Cash would never agree to such a deal.
Meanwhile, Abigail has mostly recovered and is in high spirits, to the relief of Levi and Eden. However, stress continues to pile up for the group. Eden goes to Cash’s place to pick up a few things, hoping to talk to him, but Cash gives her the cold shoulder. Levi steps in, confronting Cash about his poor treatment of Eden. Though Cash is still reeling from the emotional toll, Levi tries to patch things up with his sisters. At the same time, Abigail is being oddly hostile towards Remy and Kirby, refusing to stay with Remy. She reveals to Levi that she feels abandoned, as Remy took Eden away from her. Levi, feeling for his sister, offers her a place to stay at his and McKenzie’s home—though he hasn’t yet told McKenzie about it.
Back at Salt, tensions rise again when Eden shows up for work, and Cash can’t hide his discomfort. They clash, but Eden stands her ground, insisting she has every right to be there. Cash, overwhelmed, retreats to the storeroom, struggling to cope as his emotions spiral out of control.
