It’s make-or-break time for Nikau and Bella’s relationship on Home and Away next week.
In other news, Summer Bay welcomes newcomer Theo, while Mac’s new romantic narrative heats up.
Here’s a complete list of ten major milestones along the road.
- Chloe and Ryder are apprehended
The revelation that spices and other items are going missing at the Diner has perplexed Leah. She suspects that someone has been breaking in after hours and goes there with Justin to investigate.
When Leah rumbles Chloe and Ryder, who are still using the kitchen to take food orders for their delivery company, she is taken aback. When the teenagers explain their situation and how desperate they are, Leah and Justin reluctantly offer to assist them.
The next morning, Leah offers Chloe and Ryder an enticing deal: she’ll let them keep using the kitchen in exchange for a part of the earnings.
- Mac and Logan succumb to persuasion
Logan persists in his pursuit of Mac, believing that the two of them may be a suitable match. When Logan and Mac run into one other on the beach, Logan chooses to wait for her while she goes for a surf, allowing them to have breakfast together afterwards.
When Mac kisses Logan, it appears like they’ve finally arrived at the beginning of something great.
- Bella issues a final ultimatum to Nikau
When Bella leaves a message on Nikau’s voicemail asking if they can chat, he is taken aback. Bella presses the matter by showing up at Nikau’s residence after he persistently rejects the message.
Nikau does all he can to avoid conversing with Bella, even shutting himself in his room. Bella pushes Nikau to chat about giving their love another try when he eventually appears.
Bella reminds Nikau that if he rejects her this time, the two of them would be doomed. Bella is forced to leave since Nikau continues to reject her.
- After some hard facts, Nikau takes a major decision
Chloe is taken aback by Nikau’s choice, and she can’t believe he’s passing up a second shot with Bella. Nikau is fortunate, Chloe says, that Bella wants to reconcile with him after he cheated.
Nikau realises what an idiot he has been and tells Bella that he does want to reconcile after some stern words from Chloe about how he’s standing in the way of his own happiness.
Nikau and Bella reunite, but with trust difficulties in the mix and a lot of unsolved issues, things aren’t going to be easy.
- Martha doubts her own ability to succeed
Martha has donated a number of paintings to a virtual auction to benefit mental health organisations. When she doesn’t get any bids at first, she’s unhappy, but it doesn’t take long for someone to make an offer on a painting of Alf fishing on the pier.
Martha believes that the bid was made out of compassion for her, but Alf and Roo appear sincere when they say they wouldn’t treat her like way.
- Ari is taken aback by Mia’s secret
Ari isn’t sure how he and Mia will come up with the money for the deposit on the gym that Jasmine is selling. Mia, on the other hand, appears to have a plan as she sneaks into a storage unit and hides a bag of cash.
Mia subsequently informs Ari that she saved the money from an armed robbery he committed years ago. She now intends to use the money to purchase a gym.
Ari is enraged by this discovery since he is ashamed of his wrongdoing, which resulted in a lengthy jail sentence. Mia points out that Ari has served his sentence and now needs to get on with his life, but it’s apparent that doing so with filthy money is a significant risk.
- Justin responds to Tori’s action
Tori eventually informs Justin about her and Christian’s intentions to relocate to London, and she braces herself for a bad reaction. To Tori’s astonishment, Justin is delighted for her and maintains that knowing she’s happy is his first concern.
Later, Justin reveals the true reason for his altruistic attitude, telling Leah that the only reason he was so supportive was because he doesn’t think Tori would be hired for the UK position she applied for.
- Leah’s nephew becomes a member of the Bay
When Cash has to reprimand a young man named Theo for speeding in the Bay, he is not impressed. He insists on accompanying the visitor home and is taken aback when Theo takes him to the Morgan residence.
Theo turns out to be Leah’s nephew, who has been booted out by his father and needs a place to stay. Justin is irritated by this since he already knows Theo is a troublemaker.
When Leah contacts her brother Dimitri, he explains that Theo was booted out of his car yard because he was running a bogus insurance firm off of it. When they quarrel at the Diner, Leah notices Theo’s violent side.
- Tane accuses Felicity of harassing him
Tane is wary of Felicity after a rose was placed on his porch. Felicity maintains that she has no idea what he’s talking about when he questions her about it.
Tane is bothered by Felicity’s constant presence, so he asks her to leave him alone. This perplexes Felicity, who wonders how Tane can accuse her of harassment since they both reside in a tiny town.
- Ziggy is on the verge of breaking up
Ziggy is having a hard time managing Dean’s recuperation after the automobile accident. When Mac confronts Dean about the problem, he admits to disobeying physicians’ orders and failing to take his medications.
Ziggy attempts to get Dean to take his pain reliever, but he loses his cool and yells at her. Ziggy can’t take it any longer and begs Mac to assist her in dealing with Dean.
