What’s next in Summer Bay?
Coming up on Home and Away, Theo persuades Valerie to hook him up with more drugs.
Elsewhere, romance could be blossoming between Dana and Xander, Eden suspects foul play from Levi, and why is Cash protecting the Surf Club’s mystery donor?
Here’s a full collection of 14 huge moments.
1. Theo is on a drug-fuelled high
Theo is on a high from taking party drugs, while Leah and Justin are clueless about the fact their nephew is under the influence.
As Theo returns home, Valerie ushers him into his room to try and prevent the couple from figuring out what’s going on.
Theo wants to know why Valerie takes the pills herself, but she deflects his questions by promising him an afternoon of wild fun.
2. Kirby discovers Theo’s secret
Theo’s earlier outburst is still playing on Kirby’s mind and she voices her concerns to Remi that Valerie is taking her ex away from Lyrik.
With Remi still recovering, Kirby invites Theo over to chat. He’s still emboldened by the drugs when he arrives and is in an uncharacteristically complimentary mood.
Realising he’s on something, Kirby asks Theo if it’s Valerie’s doing but he storms off, refusing to answer her questions.
Theo then returns to Valerie, and after dancing the night away, the pair sleep together.
3. Theo succumbs to temptation
The next morning in bed, Valerie starts opening up about her past to Theo. She reveals how she used drugs as a coping mechanism after the death of her brother Josh.
Theo is still on a high from the previous day and persuades Valerie to source him more pills. Is this the start of a dangerous habit?
4. Tragedy strikes for Bree
Bree is back in the Bay – and is surprised to learn that Remi has been out of the hospital for over a week.
He apologises for not letting her know earlier, but explains he felt she needed to be with her family.
Bree is also honest and reveals that her father suffered serious brain damage as a result of his accident and has sadly passed away.
Unable to hold in her pain any longer, Bree breaks down in Remi’s arms.
5. Harper has a dating disaster
Continuing her search for Mr Right, Harper signs herself to the dating app Smouldr.
After she matches with a guy called Derek, Tane helps Harper overcome her nerves by encouraging her to go for it and just be herself.
She takes his advice, but it soon becomes clear that Derek isn’t over his ex and is only after one thing.
With that, Harper sends her date packing and goes for a pizza with Tane instead.
6. Dana has her eye on someone
Dana offers to help Xander workshop ideas for his next event at Salt.
As the fellow singletons commiserate about being alone, Dana’s heart skips a beat when Xander pays her a sweet compliment. Has she found her new man?
7. Dana and Xander grow closer
Without revealing any names, Dana confides in Irene about her new crush and admits she’s nervous about dating again because of what happened with her former partner.
Irene reassures her there are plenty of good blokes out there, and when a text comes through from Xander, it’s clear Dana’s smitten.
Later, Rose clocks Dana and Xander’s mutual attraction, but Dana convinces her to keep it quiet for now.
8. Leah and Justin take a big step forward
Leah and Justin are finally in a good place after the trauma of the past few months.
After enjoying a wonderful night together at Salt, Leah finally feels comfortable enough to spend the night in the same bed.
The couple embrace and are at total peace with one another for the first time in a long while.
9. Mac issues Mali with an ultimatum
Mackenzie convinces Mali and Tane to vacate the house for the day to give her and secret lover Levi time alone. But when Mali returns back unexpectedly, Mac is forced to admit to Levi that she has told her housemate about their affair.
Levi is unnerved when Mali turns on him and asks how many other mistresses he has dotted around the country.
Mac doesn’t take kindly to Mali’s interference either and declares that if he doesn’t like the way she lives, then he can get out of her house.
10. Mac and Levi have another close call
Mac quickly regrets being so harsh with Mali and apologises for her behaviour.
She also confronts Levi and asks where he sees them going considering he’s still in an intimate relationship with his wife.
Before he can reassure her, Felicity arrives at the door, forcing the lovers to cover their tracks once more.
Later, Flick mentions the encounter to Eden, who’s sure her brother has been lying to her.
11. Eden is suspicious of Levi
Eden tries to get the truth out of Mali, but he remains loyal to Mac by claiming Levi was just checking up on his patient.
As well as annoying Eden, Mali’s refusal to drop Mac in it also puts further strain on his relationship with Rose.
Having got nowhere, Eden vents to Cash, who tells his girlfriend to stop causing problems when there aren’t any.
Concluding he’s probably right, Eden decides she’ll pay Levi a visit in the city instead.
12. Rose lends a hand
As part of her new duties as a senior constable, Rose supervises the community service workers with bush rejuvenation.
Justin is one of her workers, as is a pampered influencer named Montana, who’s determined to avoid getting her hands dirty at all costs.
Taking Cash’s advice, Rose reaches out to the young woman and helps Montana embrace her work.
And there’s good news for Justin when he’s told his community service is now completed.
13. Roo and John smell a rat
John is still reeling over Roo’s decision to drop the investigation into the anonymous donor. But Marilyn reckons John has a right to know that Cash did manage to find out who gave them the huge sum of money.
Roo comes clean to her colleague, but both she and John are puzzled about why Cash just walked away without completing the job.
14. What is Cash hiding?
Determined to uncover the identity of the donor, John confronts Cash, who remains tight-lipped on the matter.
The former cop’s refusal to cooperate leaves Roo and John with no choice but to freeze the funds and they call a meeting to put this into action.
Upon hearing the news, Cash makes an urgent call to the donor, declaring they have a problem.
Why is he protecting them?
