The following week on Home and Away in the UK, Remi welcomes an old friend to Summer Bay while a furious Kirby ends her romance with Theo.
Since guitarist Remi (Adam Rowland) unilaterally decided to cancel the band’s upcoming tour in order to compete in a Battle of the Bands competition, there has been considerable tension among the Lyrik band members.
Remi’s motivations were twofold. First, he believed it would be a great opportunity for the band—the top prise of $20,000 would go a long way towards funding their anticipated album—but it also meant he wouldn’t have to leave behind girlfriend Bree (Juliet Godwin), who has been having a difficult time adjusting to his frequent absences.
The other members of the band weren’t very impressed with Remi, and Kirby (Angelina Thomson) was especially upset with him for his haughtiness in making that choice without seeking their input. Remi noticed his mistake after Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) pointed out that ex-lead vocalist Bob (Rob Mallett) used to make the exact same mistake.
Kirby was surprised to learn that Eden and Theo (Matt Evans), who were voting on whether to proceed with Battle of the Bands or attempt and rebook their performances, were on Remi’s side in favour of taking part in the competition.
When Theo told Kirby that not everything was about her, she became upset. Kirby had expected her boyfriend Theo to vote with her, regardless of his own opinions on the topic (now who’s showing Bob tendencies?).
Kirby later agreed to follow through with Remi’s plan, although complaining to Eden that she and Theo don’t appear to be on the same page anymore.
Theo makes a mercy run back to Summer Bay when he learns of the most recent developments with Andrew (Joshua Hewson) as the tale picks up the following week. Kirby, Theo, and Remi are away at a gig monitoring the competition when this happens.
Theo had made it plain that Andrew was one of his top priorities at the time, so when Kirby awakens in the motel to discover Theo has left behind merely a note, she is not pleased.
Theo isn’t thinking about Kirby when Justin (James Stewart) fills him in on the issue; he feels bad about his role in it and decides to avoid her texts and calls all morning.
Later on in the day, after Theo finally responds Kirby’s calls, he finds out she’s back in Summer Bay and asks if they can meet up. “I believe we should speak,”
Theo arrives at the shared residence, but Kirby is no longer in the mood for conversation since Theo abandoned her. While walking to work with Kirby, Theo recounts her the entire tragic story of Andrew being duped by Margot. Kirby, however, appears unconcerned, as she mockingly remarks on the ‘great talk’.
Kirby believes that because Andrew has professionals who can assist him (that’s questionable! ), Theo should only be focusing on the band.
Theo is shocked by Kirby’s attitude, especially after learning that she is still angry with him for voting against her the week before. Theo decides he should spend the night at home rather than Kirby’s after Kirby advises him to “forget it” and then ignores him the remainder of her shift.
The following day, Kirby admits she had been on the warpath as they apologise to one another for how things turned out. While Kirby thinks she’ll get over it eventually, Theo isn’t so sure. Theo believes it all comes down to her trust in him.
Theo then offers that they might want to take a break for a bit, but a furious Kirby tells him not to worry—”We’re done!”
When Kirby and Theo started dating, it was the one thing that both Remi and Eden were scared of. What is Lyrik’s future now that half of the band is destined to be at odds with one another?
Remi says to Bree that he is thinking of creative methods for Lyrik to stand out at the Battle of the Bands. He learned that they face tough opposition from the other band’s reconnaissance mission, if anything.
