What’s next in Summer Bay?
Next week on Home and Away, Eden prepares to say goodbye but receives a last-minute lifeline.
Elsewhere, David makes a grisly discovery in the search for Roo, while Mackenzie is shocked to learn that Tane has decided to move away.
Here are 14 big moments to watch out for.
1. Eden sticks to her decision
Levi treats Eden after she suffers a nosebleed, but she rejects his suggestion that she return to the hospital. Eden makes it clear that she doesn’t intend to die in hospital and won’t spend her final days arguing about it.
Levi agrees to accept Eden’s wishes. As Deb and Jimmy arrive, the whole Fowler family come together to spend precious time with Eden.
2. Eden says goodbye to her family
After some support from Jimmy, Abigail admits to Eden that she’s been avoiding her as she’s not ready to say goodbye. Eden tells Abigail how proud she is of her. Together with Deb, they fondly remember their childhood.
Meanwhile, Levi is boosted by Jimmy when he explains that he’s feeling powerless to help.
Later, Eden says an emotional goodbye to her parents, Abigail and Levi as they leave her to spend her final moments with Cash.
3. Levi proposes to Mackenzie
After leaving Eden, Levi admits to Deb that he’s finally coming to terms with the fact that Eden is going to die.
The family attempt to lighten the mood by meeting up at Salt and recall funny family stories, but the mood takes a turn when they realise they may not all be together again until Eden’s funeral.
After a reminder from Deb to make every moment count, Levi stages a romantic proposal on the beach. Will Mackenzie say yes?
4. Eden receives unexpected news
Eden shares her end-of-life wishes with Cash, but their conversation is brought to a halt when Eden suffers another bleed. While Cash goes to chop wood, Eden picks up her guitar and sings about wanting time to stand still.
Afterwards, Eden finally breaks down in tears and admits that she’s scared to die.
The next morning, Eden is stunned to see multiple missed calls and voicemails informing her that they’ve found a donor. Is there still hope for Eden?
5. Alf reports Roo’s disappearance
Alf grows increasingly fearful for Roo’s welfare when two days pass without hearing from her and he decides to report Roo’s disappearance to the police. At the station, David tries to reassure Alf that there’s likely to be a reasonable explanation.
Later, John provides email evidence to David to prove that Roo intended to be back in Summer Bay and points out that going AWOL is out of character for her.
6. Alf receives a worrying update
Alf is alarmed when David informs him that Roo’s credit card was last used an hour away from Summer Bay on the day she was due to return but there’s been no activity since.
Due to the new information, David tells Alf that they need to file an official missing person’s report.
Meanwhile, Marilyn is feeling guilty and blames herself for encouraging Roo to visit Alf.
7. David makes a grisly discovery
Alf contacts Roo’s friends in the hope that someone has heard from her, but his calls are all in vain.
David continues to investigate and takes the patrol car out to retrace Roo’s steps. On a lonely stretch of road, David discovers Roo’s burnt-out car.
As David inspects the scene, he’s horrified to discover a body in the boot of the car. Has Roo been killed?
8. Tane’s departure upsets Mackenzie
Having decided to move closer to Archie, Tane prepares to leave Summer Bay.
Mali encourages Tane to update Mackenzie on his plans, but Tane believes it’s better to leave without telling her.
Mali is unconvinced by Tane’s suggestion and decides to break the news to Mackenzie. Stunned, Mackenzie confronts Tane about his departure.
9. Tane leaves Summer Bay
Mackenzie tries to convince Tane to stay but reluctantly accepts his decision to move closer to his son.
While Mackenzie is disappointed, a conversation with Mali helps her realise the strain Tane has been under travelling back and forth.
Mackenzie and Mali surprise Tane with beer and pizza to help him finish packing. Tane shares an emotional goodbye with Mackenzie, and the next day, departs Summer Bay.
10. Lacey and Dylan’s date ends abruptly
Lacey is delighted when Dylan makes the next move and asks her out to dinner. When Dylan arrives to pick Lacey up, he has an awkward encounter with David, who jokingly adopts an overprotective father persona.
On the date, Lacey puts Dylan at ease by pointing out that David was trying to be funny.
At the end of the night, Lacey is confused when Dylan gives her a quick kiss before hurrying off.
11. Lacey confronts Dylan
Dylan tells Sonny about his date with Lacey and points out that he is taking things slowly with her.
Lacey decides to tackle Dylan’s behaviour head-on and arrives at the door to question him on his quick exit.
When Lacey insists he’s holding back too much in his attempts to go slowly, Dylan kisses her and the couple sleep together.
12. Lacey thinks Dylan has lost interest
Lacey and Dylan’s happiness ends abruptly when a light-hearted comment from Lacey leaves Dylan feeling insecure.
Afterwards, Dylan downplays Lacey’s suggestion of spending more time together and leaves Lacey questioning if he has lost interest. After confiding in Jo and Amelia, Lacey confronts Dylan.
Dylan is embarrassed and confesses his fears that Lacey is out of his league. Lacey forgives him and puts his mind at ease.
13. Justin reaches out to Richie
After Richie tells John of his concern for Abigail, John decides to check in with Justin about Richie’s own wellbeing.
It dawns on Justin that he hadn’t considered the effect the situation could have on Richie, and invites him to hang out. Justin talks about his history with Eden and the loss of his brother. Richie is touched when Justin offers a supportive ear if he ever wants to talk.
14. Remi is struggling
After saying his goodbyes to Eden, the reality of the situation weighs heavily on Remi.
Sonny’s attempts to help by suggesting they contact Eden’s old friends causes Remi to lash out and accuse Sonny of jumping the gun before Eden has died.
Later, Remi cools down and admits that he can’t wrap his head around the fact that he’s never going to see Eden again.
