Mackenzie rushes to Levi when he needs to talk. He lays out his concerns – he doesn’t know

where their relationship is headed if there’s no trust between them. She points out that

he did lie to her about talking to his ex-wife, but he insists that he was trying to protect her.

Mackenzie vents to Xander later that Levi thinks she’ll never be able to trust him. When she sees him tending to an attractive female patient later on, she’s clearly irked. At home that night, she toys with Imogen’s wedding ring, deep in thought over her relationship. Can Mackenzie trust her partner?

Meanwhile, Harper agrees to let Marilyn give her a tarot reading. Roo stands by to provide a running commentary. The cards are drawn and Marilyn predicts a connection – perhaps a romance, a budding friendship, or sisterly bond.

Harper is interrupted by a call from Dana, but she also very much has Tane on her mind. What does the future hold for Harper?

Elsewhere, John and Dana finally manage to wrench the mysterious shipping container open. Both recoil at the smell – it appears to be filled with potting mix. Later though, they return to the site on patrol and John suddenly faints. He’s brought into emergency, where upon learning of their exposure to the unverified substance, Bree orders full infectious protocol be followed – they could be dealing with a contaminant.

John and Dana go straight into isolation. Bree is left to puzzle over what’s wrong with John and what’s causing it.

At the Diner later, Roo and Marilyn are discussing the ongoing investigation into the contents of the shipping container, and Marilyn mentions she’s feeling a bit funny. Suddenly, a customer lurches forward and vomits. When she goes to help, Marilyn herself is overcome by dizziness and clutches her head in pain. What is the mystery illness gripping Summer Bay?
