What’s next in Summer Bay?
Coming up on Home and Away, Sonny’s brother Dylan arrives in Summer Bay and quickly catches feelings for Lacey. But is she ready to move on from Theo?
Elsewhere, David rumbles Justin’s secret about Richie, and Levi undergoes hand surgery.
Here’s a full collection of 13 massive moments.
1. Cash reaches out to Melanie
Cash fears Eden is giving up hope of survival and makes a call to Melanie, the woman he found on the aplastic anaemia forum.
Eden overhears Cash speaking to someone and confronts him. Cash admits he reached out to Melanie for advice on how to navigate their situation.
Instead of being annoyed, Eden is relieved that her husband has someone to confide in.
2. Mac and Abigail say sorry to Eden
Mackenzie is hurt when Eden accuses her of trying to take her place in the family.
Following his chat with Melanie, Cash tries to restore the peace by asking Mac and Abigail to stop treating Eden like a sick patient.
They both apologise to Eden for not keeping her in the loop about important matters and Mac insists she could never replace her.
3. Richie wants a fresh start
Justin is thrown into panic when David asks if they can catch up, but Leah insists it’s time he knew that Richie is living with them.
As Justin gears up to tell David the truth, Richie applies for the volunteer lifesaving course at the Surf Club.
He attends an interview with John at Salt, but ends up bailing half way through when David walks in with Amelia.
4. John gives Richie a chance
Alf takes pity on Richie and offers him a free breakfast to lift his spirits, while John decides to check in with David.
He asks the police boss if he’s okay with Richie signing up for the course, but David makes it clear he doesn’t want any say in what happens.
Afterwards, John goes to see Richie and offers him a spot on the course, much to his delight.
5. David discovers the truth
Justin’s secret is out when David arrives at the house and Richie answers the door.
David feels let down that Justin and Leah weren’t brave enough to tell him the truth, and isn’t sure where this leaves their friendship.
Meanwhile, Amelia is left alone at David’s place and confronted by all the pictures of his late wife.
6. Mali has a one-night stand
Tane is feeling low after his latest visit to Archie so Mali suggests they head to the club at Reefton Lakes.
The next morning, Mali rocks up late to his surf lesson and Tane teases him about the girl he hooked up with the night before.
Lacey asks Mali if he’ll be seeing this girl again, but he insists it was just a bit of no-strings fun.
7. Sonny’s brother comes to town
Sonny receives an unexpected visitor when his little brother Dylan turns up on his doorstep.
The handsome newcomer immediately catches Lacey’s eye, but it’s clear Dylan has come to Summer Bay harbouring a secret.
Dylan later comes clean to Sonny and admits he’s quit his job in W.A, but insists their parents mustn’t find out.
8. Jo feels uneasy around Amelia
Jo arrives home to find Amelia there without David. It’s unfamiliar territory for both of them, and the situation is awkward.
There’s another uncomfortable confrontation next morning when Jo realises Amelia has slept over in David’s bed.
Jo wants to know what Amelia’s plans are once Levi returns to work. Amelia admits she doesn’t have an answer, which makes Jo worry that she’ll leave David.
9. Dylan makes a move on Lacey
Sonny wants Dylan to tell him why he quit his job, but is aware he’s hiding his own secrets about his steroid addiction and split from Dana.
Remi is able to convince Dylan to confide in him and learns he was jealous of Sonny’s free-spirited life and is desperate to experience similar adventures.
Wanting to take more risks, Dylan decides to make a move on Lacey. They almost kiss, before Lacey freaks out and dashes off.
10. Levi undergoes hand surgery
Amelia goes to check in on Levi after his hand surgery. He’s in severe pain, but already looking forward to returning to work.
When Amelia tries to press for a timeframe, Levi gets annoyed that Amelia seems more interested in losing her job than his pain.
Amelia later learns Levi should be back at the hospital in six weeks.
11. Lacey is confused about her feelings
Lacey opens up to Jo and Amelia about her near kiss with Dylan and reveals she hasn’t had feelings like that for anyone since Theo.
Meanwhile, Sonny is busy planning a gap year for Dylan, full of parties, travel and adventure.
But Dylan’s mind is focused on Lacey as he hopes to stay in the Bay and get to know her better.
12. Jo and Amelia disagree over Lacey
Lacey catches up with Dylan and insists he did nothing wrong before. They both leave the conversation feeling hopeful that this could go somewhere.
But as Lacey unpacks her feelings with Amelia, she’s triggered by memories of Theo and starts to cry. Sonny sees her upset and takes note.
Amelia urges Lacey to ask Dylan out, but Jo snaps back, insisting she’s not ready for a new romance.
13. Lacey asks Dylan out
Thinking Dylan did something to make Lacey cry, Sonny confronts his brother.
Dylan is clueless, but Sonny thinks it would be best if he stays away from Lacey, explaining she still blames herself for Theo’s death.
Later, Dylan is on the phone to his parents when there’s a knock at the door. It’s Lacey, who’s all dressed up and wants to take him out on a date.
Will he accept her invitation?
