Next week on *Home and Away*, Justin gets involved in a secret arrangement with

newcomer Claudia, causing tensions in his relationship with Leah. After a mistake at Summer Bay Auto,

where his nephew Theo failed to check the brakes on a car, Claudia Selini, the car’s owner,

crashed and injured her arm. Justin, desperate to protect Theo, takes matters into his own hands, inspecting the car and trying to sort things out with Claudia before Theo’s mechanic license is jeopardized.

Justin suggests to Leah that they offer to pay for Claudia’s car repairs and medical bills, but Claudia interprets this as a bribe, accusing Justin of trying to cover up Theo’s negligence. As a result, Justin arranges to meet Claudia in person, but Leah decides to join him for moral support. This move irritates Claudia, who feels outnumbered and uncomfortable. To smooth things over, Leah steps aside, allowing Justin to privately negotiate with Claudia.

During their meeting, Claudia reveals that her situation is more complicated than just needing a car. With her arm in a cast and a strained relationship with her husband, she struggles with how to manage daily life. Justin offers her a courtesy car and even steps in to drive her around, leading to an unexpected bond forming between them. However, this new arrangement forces Justin to keep secrets from Leah, as he becomes Claudia’s chauffeur.

Meanwhile, Bree becomes suspicious of Claudia’s medical condition and insists on running more tests, which further frustrates Claudia. As Justin balances keeping his promises to Claudia and hiding the truth from Leah, the tension escalates. How long will Justin be able to maintain this secret affair before Leah discovers what’s really going on?
