Next week on *Home and Away*, Tane faces an impossible decision as his loyalties
are tested between Harper and Perri. While Harper prepares for her ultrasound, Perri must decide
whether to testify against his father in court. Harper, relieved that her pregnancy is now public,
struggles with unanswered questions about Tane’s commitment. After months of hiding the news, Harper finally told Tane he was going to be a father during a heated moment to prevent him from fighting, and Tane has since been torn.
Initially, Tane’s reaction was far from comforting—he drowned his thoughts in alcohol before eventually telling Harper that he was ready to be a father. However, Harper remains unsure of how dedicated Tane really is, especially as Summer Bay continues to gossip about their unexpected relationship. When Alf assumed they were a couple, Harper confronted Tane, who admitted he hadn’t thought about the implications but promised that she and the baby would be his priority.
Meanwhile, Perri is starting to question his place in Tane’s life, fearing that the baby means there won’t be room for him anymore. Tane reassures Perri that he’ll always have a home with him, but the pressure builds. After spending days camping with Perri, Tane returns home to more questions from Harper. She’s frustrated that Tane hasn’t discussed their future together, while Perri feels unsure about testifying against his father. Tane promises Harper he’ll attend the ultrasound, but when the court date and ultrasound fall on the same day, his heart sinks.
Instead of being upfront with Harper, Tane simply tells her he can’t make it. Harper, sensing he’s putting Perri first, storms off, upset. Tane follows, torn between the two, but still doesn’t fully explain the situation. With both Harper and Perri demanding his loyalty, someone is bound to get hurt. Who will Tane choose in the end?
