Home and Away spoilers: Colby Thorne finds his long-lost sister Bella Nixon!
There's a blast from the past for policeman Colby when he finally tracks down his missing teenage sister Bella. But she's armed and dangerous!
With Colby Thorne getting increasingly frustrated about the lack of leads on his missing teenage sister Bella Nixon, the policeman's fiancée Chelsea Campbell calls her police inspector dad Neil Campbell and finally convinces him to give her some information about Colby's nasty stepdad Ross Nixon, who disappeared with Bella a few years back.
Armed with the address, Colby and his buddy Dean Thompson hit the road to investigate whether Ross and Bella still live at the house.
But Colby's in for a shock when not only does he come face-to-face with Bella after all this time, but finds her armed with a crossbow and ready to shoot...
Meanwhile, after his younger sister Raffy Morrison's angry outburst, Justin Morgan decides to step in and try and help.
After discovering Raffy is feeling conflicted about where to live, Justin visits the teen's foster parents John Palmer and Marilyn Chambers. But is Justin there to warn the couple to keep their distance, or to discuss the possibility of Raffy returning to live with them?
Elsewhere, with their friend Coco Astoni about to depart on a scholarship to a sustainability camp, Raffy and Ryder Jackson try to put their awkward almost-kiss behind them.
However, are the teenagers just kidding themselves? Are they really going to remain just good friends?
Home and Away continues weekdays at 1:15pm and 6:00pm on Channel 5
