Home And Away spoilers: Felicity has been drugged on a night out

 'I've been drugged'.

The Battle of The Bands contest was supposed to be a fun night out. But Felicity has had to endure a harrowing ordeal.

In Home And Away this week, Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) wakes to find herself shivering and struggling to move in a room at the back of the nightclub. An unsteady Flick pulls her view into focus and tries to think: what happened?

What she doesn't realise is that a mysterious figure spiked her drink when she and her pal Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) were on the dance floor.

"At first, Flick has no idea what's happened – she's very groggy, has no voice and her limbs don't work as they should," Jacqui tells TV WEEK."When she tries to sit up and realises her dress is ripped and her bra is showing, she suddenly suspects what has happened."

Emerging from the room, she collapses in Eden's arms. Lyrik withdraws from the competition, knowing how serious the matter is. At hospital, Dr Bree (Juliet Godwin) gently seeks information from Flick, who believes she may have been sexually assaulted.

"It's torturous," Jacqui says.

"She doesn't want to believe it, but has to, unfortunately. Bree helps her realise the horrible situation and helps her through a rape kit [examination] so that if she wants to get the police involved, she has the option."

At home, Tane (Ethan Browne) waits for his wife. When told the disturbing news, he's angry that Felicity's friends could allow that to happen – but also wracked with guilt for not being there.

Meanwhile, her brother, policeman Cash (Nicholas Cartwright), is none the wiser as to his sister's ordeal.

Felicity is determined to put the ugly incident behind her, but Eden and Tane fear she'll spiral, as she did after the car accident wrecked her wedding day.

Eden urges her to confide in Cash.

"As a lot of women would be, Flick is scared, and feels so much shame," Jacqui says. "She blames herself. These kinds of attacks don't just hurt the victim, but the people around them – they're also affected and there's a lot of guilt too."
