Tensions rise in Summer Bay as Mackenzie Booth confronts her boyfriend, Dr. Levi Fowler,

demanding the truth about his troubled sister, Abigail. Mackenzie wants

to support Levi during this difficult time, but she’s unaware of the full extent of the situation.

Abigail is secretly battling drug addiction, and Levi has been enabling her by giving her money, which she uses to buy drugs.

Mackenzie is shocked when Levi finally admits the truth. She can’t believe that Levi, a doctor, would go as far as to buy drugs for an addict. Desperate to help, Mackenzie warns Levi that unless Abigail gets professional help for her addiction, she will continue to manipulate him. The question now is, will Levi listen, or will Abigail’s downward spiral continue?

Meanwhile, Abigail’s situation worsens. She’s unable to repay a dangerous man named Dom, who threatens her, making it clear that she won’t be leaving until she settles her debt.
