Next week on UK television, Mali Hudson from Home and Away learns discouraging news concerning his health.
Following his heroics in the impending explosion narrative, the newbie to the show now confronts a frightening threat to his livelihood.
Mali discovers that John Palmer and Roo Stewart have drove off with a Stunning Organics box that covertly holds an explosive device in the gripping scenes aired this fortnight.
Mali dashes off to alert the two about the bomb, which was meant for Marilyn Chambers as a result of her recent struggle with the dishonest corporation.
After pursuing Roo and John in his van, Mali finally finds them, but he gets caught in the explosion and falls to the ground.
When Mali wakes up, he struggles with a deafening ringing in his ears. Putting this aside, Mali quickly makes a call for help and runs to check on Roo and John.
Mali is saddened to see that Roo and John are not doing well after the explosion.
Mali is later told by Bree Cameron at the hospital that he has a perforated eardrum and must avoid the water for a few weeks.
Mali’s income depends on his ability to teach surf lessons at the beach, therefore this is bad news for him.
Following the incident, Mali is fussed over by both Rose Delaney and Mackenzie Booth, but he feels uncomfortable with the attention and distances himself from both of them.
Mali is very explicit in saying that he doesn’t want his overly protective family to know about his injury and that he doesn’t feel like a hero.
Mali goes on to voice his concerns that his broken eardrum will hinder his balance and prevent him from giving surf lessons.
Mali ultimately decides to trust Rose to take care of him, but he is still concerned about the damage to his livelihood. Can he withstand the allure of the water?
