Theo’s struggling to cope in Home and Away and it’s not just the physical recovery that’s taking its toll. As heartbreak, betrayal, and tension simmer beneath the surface, one emotional decision is about to shatter what’s left of his trust in the people closest to him.
Cash Makes a Move as Lacey Disappears
While Eden wrestles with disappointment over her paused engagement, Cash stays laser-focused on the chaos surrounding him. The River Boys are still circling, and with Lacey in hiding, the tension is thick. Cash swings by the hospital to visit Theo, doing his best to assure him that Lacey’s okay and safely tucked away.
That reassurance doesn’t soften the blow for Theo, though. He finally hears from Lacey but it’s not what he hoped for. She gently tells him that they need to end things.
Her safety, and his, depends on it. It’s clear she’s preparing to disappear again, this time to a new safe house. Cash arranges for her to be escorted there and even offers to act as a decoy to throw off any River Boy tails.
Theo, already bruised emotionally and physically, takes the breakup hard. And instead of blaming the danger, he turns his anger toward Leah. He believes her interference drove Lacey away, and in a heated moment, he tells both Leah and Justin to get out of his hospital room.
Dana and Sonny’s Bond Deepens
Elsewhere, things are heating up in a different way. Dana can’t help but admire Sonny’s bravery, praising him for jumping in to help Theo despite being in pain himself. But just as a sweet moment is about to blossom, Remi walks in and puts an end to it, kicking Dana out.
From just outside, Dana overhears a warning: Remi reminds Sonny that the River Boys are still a threat, and being close to Dana could put her in harm’s way too. It’s a heavy truth but Dana doesn’t scare easy. She returns later, tells Sonny she can handle herself, and the moment finally bubbles over. They share their very first kiss, full of fire and feeling.
The Damage is Done in Home and Away
Back at the hospital, the aftermath of Theo’s emotional outburst is felt deeply. Leah, reeling from her nephew’s rejection, struggles with the guilt of stepping in where maybe she shouldn’t have. Justin doesn’t take it lightly either despite doing his best, he’s now lumped in with the blame.
There’s no easy fix to this family fracture. Theo’s pain has spilled out onto the people closest to him, and with heartbreak, danger, and broken trust in the mix, it’s hard to say when, or if, things will return to normal.
