Home and Away spoilers follow from Thursday's Australian episodes (May 18), which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.
Home and Away aired a nasty shock for Justin Morgan in Thursday's triple bill in Australia, as he received news that vulnerable teenager Andrew Lawrence is in danger again.
Justin feared for Andrew's safety after discovering that the 17-year-old had been kidnapped by the doomsday cult that his late father was previously involved with.
Viewers had seen Justin and his partner Leah Patterson kindly take care of Andrew after the death of his dad left him unsupported and alone.

There appeared to be a happy ending when a woman turned up claiming to be Andrew's mother Esther and took him away, but it has now been revealed that she was lying about her true identity.
In Thursday's Australian episodes, local policeman Cash Newman received contact from Andrew's sister Tegan, who revealed that their mum had in fact been missing for years.
It later transpired that the 'Esther' who visited the Bay was the leader of the cult that had caused so many problems in Andrew's traumatic upbringing.
Justin was livid to discover that Cash had messed up so badly by failing to properly verify the identity of 'Esther'.

Cash was taken off the case by his superiors in the police force, but this left him worried that nobody else in the team would put as much effort into securing Andrew's safe return.
Although a specialised task force is overseeing the case, Andrew's age means that he's not a top priority as he's so close to adulthood.
Desperate to make amends, Cash approached Justin and suggested that they should work together with an off-the-books approach to the problem.
Cash promised: "I'm not giving up. That's why I wanted to talk to you – actually, I reckon we should put our heads together.

"I know who's got Andrew. Her [real] name's Margot. And you spent a lot more time with her than I did, so we need to go through everything that she did, everything that she said. She might have slipped up and said something that's going to help me find her."
Meanwhile, Andrew was seen at the cult's compound in a remote location, being forced to carry out a gruelling exercise regime by Margot.
Margot made it clear that she was punishing Andrew for being so open with Justin, Leah and the police. Will he be rescued?
