The story follows the breakup of the Sutherland family as a secret from Rhys' past comes back to haunt him. Years ago, Rhys had an affair with Angie Russell and now she's living in Summer Bay with her son Dylan. Angie then reveals to Dylan than he is Rhys' son and he can't see Rhys' daughter Kirsty any more because they are brother and sister. Shelley discovers his secret when she listens to a tape that recorded Angie talking to Rhys. At a family dinner, Rhys tells all to his family hurting Kirsty the most. The following day, the girls find a note from Rhys saying that he has left for good. Dani and Josh, along with Hayley and Noah, search for Rhys in the City.

Reaction
Secrets and the City was a let down to fans of the show as they expected more to come from Australia's first DVD of Home and Away. Two episodes which had already aired on TV and the special episode was only a 3 minutes longer than a normal episode. The special features on the release were a great contribution, cast interviews and behind-the-scenes with Bec Cartwright and Beau Brady.
