Rose has always longed to know more about her biological father, but to avoid possible heartbreak, has chosen not to go digging for information about him.
But with a single phone call, the truth is uncovered.
In Home And Away, Rose (Kirsty Marillier) seeks out Mali (Kyle Shilling) and Kirby (Angelina Thomson) for advice. She now knows who her father is: his name is Samuel Edwards and he was married at the time of her birth.

As a policewoman, Rose wants to know more and investigate her heritage. She envies Mali and Kirby’s strong connection to their Indigenous and Pacific culture, but at the same time, the thought of being rejected by her father is too much to bear.
Rose decides to write a letter and drop it into Samuel’s (Bert LaBonté) letterbox, but is stunned when he phones her. He’d like to meet her – today!
Will the letter change his life for better or for worse?

To her surprise, Samuel counters that he hadn’t known her mother was pregnant nor that he even had a child. He would have loved to have known his daughter and her know him. Now, he says, they have a chance to.
Could these be the words Rose needed to hear all along?

Meanwhile, cop Cash isn’t sure whether to help fugitive Dana or do his duty as a police officer.
