In upcoming *Home and Away* episodes, tensions are rising between Mackenzie Booth and
Levi Fowler. Mackenzie is furious with Levi after discovering that he’s been hiding critical
information from her about his sister Abigail’s condition. Levi, desperate to keep Abigail’s drug
addiction a secret, has been providing her with money, which Mackenzie recently found out about. To make matters worse, Abigail is now hiding out at a local hotel and has become Levi’s personal patient, deepening Mackenzie’s frustration.
Mackenzie is livid that Levi lied to her about his whereabouts and feels betrayed. She storms off to work at Salt, where she faces more challenges. Cash Newman, now co-owner of the restaurant following the death of his sister Felicity, has been a source of frustration for Mackenzie. Cash’s lack of experience running the establishment quickly becomes apparent, and his attempts to contribute start to grate on Mackenzie’s nerves. When she tries to push him out of the picture, Cash firmly stands his ground, reminding her that Salt also belonged to Felicity and that he won’t be dismissed easily.
Meanwhile, Marley Hudson is feeling down after losing an art competition but tries to hide his disappointment from his coworker Kirby, who had encouraged him to participate. However, when his painting is unexpectedly returned with a commendation certificate, Marley faces a choice—should he admit the truth about his disappointment?
Additionally, Tane Parata is struggling to balance the needs of his pregnant partner, Harper, and teenager Perry Hayes. When Perry reveals to Harper the pressure Tane is under due to his looming court case and the need to testify against his abusive father, Harper starts to see just how much Tane is dealing with.
