Next week on Home and Away, Nikau’s decision to do a runner from Summer Bay has terrible consequences for him and two other characters.
Elsewhere, Jasmine has a new love interest, while Ziggy has to face the consequences of betraying Tane.
Here’s a full collection of 13 big moments coming up.
Nikau spoils Bella’s exhibition
Bella and Emmett’s photography exhibition is going well until Nikau unexpectedly comes up to gatecrash the event. Nikau won’t leave Bella alone, pleading for her to listen to him so he can explain why he cheated on her with Sienna.
A violent fight breaks out between the former couple when Bella refuses to pay attention to Nikau. Bella has had enough and decides to leave after a public spectacle.
Emmett tries to cheer Bella up later by telling her how much artwork they sold. Bella rejoices, but as Emmett confesses his plans to leave Summer Bay, the mood shifts back to despair.
Nikau poses a threat to Ziggy’s secret
Ziggy tells Mackenzie about the kiss she had with Dean at the exhibition. Dean has run off somewhere, and she can’t find him to talk about it. Dean has gone to meet Jai, Mackenzie quickly clarifies.
Ziggy says she got caught up in the moment with Dean until he asked if she’d forgiven him for his role in the Ross murder cover-up. Because Ziggy can’t seem to get over Dean’s major blunder, she’s decided to put her love for him back in a box.
Moving on with Tane, however, may not be as simple as Ziggy had hoped, as Nikau is aware of her secret. When Tane chastises Nikau for his recent erratic behavior, Nikau challenges his uncle to ask Ziggy about what transpired at the exhibition between her and Dean.
Tane is upset as Ziggy confesses all
Following Nikau’s warning, Tane decides to put Ziggy to the test by bringing up Dean’s name in front of her and seeing how she reacts. Tane uses similar tactics when Dean returns to the Bay after his brief absence to see if he’ll let anything slip.
Dean and Ziggy are both concerned that Tane may be aware of something. Following Dean’s counsel, a remorseful Ziggy confesses the kiss to Tane later. Tane is heartbroken, and he tells Ziggy that he needs some time to process what has happened.
Chloe and Bella’s tensions escalate
Chloe is working hard to get her life back on track, and she is enjoying her first shift at the Diner. Her animosity with Bella, though, quickly resurfaces.
When Bella learns that Dean and Ziggy aren’t getting back together after their kiss, she is enraged. She bemoans to Ryder that she doesn’t understand why two individuals so ideal for each other can’t work things out.
Bella is confronted by Chloe, who reminds her that Ziggy is with Tane. Bella is being chastised by Chloe for ditching Nikau and now this, and Chloe wonders if she’s attempting to destroy her entire family.
Tane makes a decision over Ziggy
After giving Tane some space for a few days, Ziggy invites him to supper at Salt. Tane is still in pain, and he refuses to engage with Ziggy properly throughout the meal. Ziggy eventually becomes irritated and exits the restaurant.
After what transpired between her and Dean, Tane finally opens up to Ziggy and says that he’s dealing with jealously. They try to make their relationship work again after Tane begs Ziggy to vow that it’s over with Dean, and she agrees.
Nikau makes another mistake with Bella
When Bella asks Nikau over to the pier apartment to discuss, he is taken aback. Bella interrogates Nikau about why he cheated on her with Sienna, but she’s let down by his justifications and answers, which don’t seem to add up.
When Bella appears to be warming up to Nikau again, he makes the mistake of leaning in for a kiss. Bella sees this as a step too far, and she expels Nikau. Nikau is mortified that he has made another blunder.
Ari and Nikau have a big argument
Ari and Mia talk about baby names while relaxing in the beach pool. Sophia is Mia’s suggestion, named after her mother.
Ari and Mia return home later to find Nikau has been led home by Cash after harassing Bella once more. Nikau’s continual poor behavior disgusts Ari, who argues that his late father would be ashamed of him.
Ari’s criticism enrages Nikau, who threatens to leave. Ari warns Nikau not to return if he means to storm out right now, but Nikau refuses and leaves.
Ari drowns his sorrows after Nikau’s departure
Mia expresses her dissatisfaction with Ari’s handling of Nikau’s issue. As he continues to fret about his problematic nephew, Ari drowns his sorrows at Salt.
Dean joins Ari for the drinking session, but when it’s evident that he’s had enough, he takes him home.
Nikau, Mia and Dean are involved in a huge car crash
After catching a ride out of Summer Bay, Nikau spends the night in the countryside. The next morning, he contacts Mia, apologetic and pleading to be picked up.
Dean volunteers to drive Mia to Nikau’s location, and they are successful in locating him. On the way home, though, disaster strikes when a kangaroo wanders into the road, forcing Dean to swerve the car.
Nikau is forcibly pushed out of the automobile as the vehicle loses control and rolls down an embankment. When the automobile finally comes to a rest, it is left perilously perched on the edge of a precipice, with no sign of anybody inside.
Alf avoids being at home
When Roo discovers Alf at the Surf Club, he realizes he’s doing everything he can to avoid being at home after Martha’s decision to let Kieran move in. Roo sympathizes with Alf’s situation but believes Martha and Kieran are making significant progress in their reconciliation.
Alf argues that his best option right now is to stay away since he doesn’t think Kieran’s return to the Bay will work out.
When Roo invites Alf to a family BBQ with Kieran later in the week, he reveals that he’ll never fully trust Martha’s son to stay sober.
Cash asks Jasmine on a date
When Jasmine is swimming, she runs into Cash. Cash approaches Jasmine, but she doesn’t recognize him, so he needs to tell her that he was present when she had a seizure not long ago.
Due to a series of unfortunate accidents, the two spend the day bumping into each other. Cash hopes to court Jasmine during dinner at Salt, but his plans are disrupted when John invites them to sit at another table with him and Irene.
Cash sees Jasmine the next morning and asks her out on a date. She is terrified of the possibility and dashes away.
Cash messes up with Jasmine again
Although Jasmine later regrets racing away from Cash, she soon realizes that she was right to be afraid of him after learning that he is a cop. Jasmine isn’t interested in dating a cop again, so she puts a damper on Cash’s plans.
Later, one of Cash’s new coworkers informs him of Jasmine’s experience with Robbo and why she would be wary of dating another cop because of it.
After everything Jasmine has been through with her spouse, Cash returns to Jasmine and swears that he understands. This, however, makes Jasmine feel even worse because she now suspects Cash of delving into her personal life.
Justin tells Leah about Christian’s plans
When Justin picks up his guitar again, Leah is taken aback. Justin explains that Christian is intending to propose to Tori once more and that he has asked him to sing a song for the occasion.
Leah is overjoyed that Christian and Tori might still achieve their happily-ever-after, but her delight quickly turns to fear when Justin sings Christian’s lyrics. They realize the lyrics are bad and decide to write a new tune.
Tori finds out later in the week that Christian has planned a romantic brunch for them. Will Christian be able to propose to his girlfriend?
