After Cash and Eden’s marriage, Lacey headed back to the Pier apartment, where she called Wendell.

She told him that she knew he caused the accident, telling him that there was an eyewitness. She then told him to meet her at Warratah Drive in two hours’ time.

With the evening winding down, Lacey finally arrived, but only to ask Theo to come with her to meet Wendell.

It led to a blow-up with Leah and Justin, as Theo revealed to them that Lacey was going her mum’s potential killer. Leah desperately tried to stop him, reminding him of what happened last time with the River Boys, but Theo shouted back that Leah needed to back off.

“Fine. Don’t expect me to be there for you when it all goes wrong,” Leah retorted angrily as she watched her nephew walk away for the final time.

Nonetheless, Theo left the wedding and headed back towards Summer Bay, where Lacey was ready to put her plan into action.

With Theo by her side, Lacey prepared to come face to face with Councillor Wendell, as they pulled up on the deserted country road in the dead of night.

As Lacey got out of the car ready to talk to him, Wendell would soon show what he was truly capable of.

After Lacey told Wendell that she knew exactly what happened, giving him the information from Jo’s latest hypnotherapy session, she thought she had him right where she wanted him.

She told him she wanted him to go to the cops and confess, and, clearly panicked, he agreed to go right away.

He then got back in his car. However, rather than drive off to do as he’d promised Lacey he would, he accelerated hard and drove towards her at full speed in an attempt to mow her down.

Theo rushed out of Lacey’s car and was able to jump in front of Wendell’s BMW just in time, pushing Lacey out of the way, but he was hit full force by the vehicle.

As the episode came to a close, Theo lay lifeless in the road, and we were left with no idea of the extent of his injuries or whether he would survive.

However, a promo which aired after the episode, and teasers for upcoming episodes, both confirm that Theo does in fact die.

Spoilers for tomorrow’s triple episode reveal that “Tragedy rocks Summer Bay,” as we learn the extent of Theo’s injuries.

With Matt Evans believed to have left the show, having not been spotted at Sydney’s Palm Beach for a number of months, it seems certain that we’ve already seen Theo alive for the final time.

In the synopsis for the second episode of Thursday’s triple, “David hunts for a wanted man.”

A promo which aired after the episode confirms Theo’s death and gives us a look at what’s in store as the hunt for his killer begins. It begins at the Morgan house, where someone tells Leah and Justin, “I need you to come with me. There’s been an accident.”

After footage of the crash, we hear Leah crying out as she arrives at the site of the incident, where Theo’s body is being loaded into an ambulance.

Lacey sits on the floor in shock, a blanket covering her.

In a scene from the following days, we see David reassure his daughter: “You are not to blame for this.”

“It is my fault that he is gone,” she replies.
