Tane Parata finds himself in a major dilemma next week as his responsibilities to both

Harper Matheson and Perri Hayes come to a head. The Summer Bay favorite is caught in

a tricky situation as Harper pushes for more commitment from him during her pregnancy,

while Perri is also leaning on Tane for support with his upcoming court case.

Harper becomes increasingly anxious about Tane’s role in their future, especially when her sister Dana and Xander Delaney start asking questions about Tane’s involvement in the pregnancy, like whether he’ll attend birthing classes or where they’ll live after the baby arrives. Harper feels unsure, as Tane’s support has been vague—he’s promised to be there, but they haven’t made any solid plans about their future together. When John Palmer makes a tactless comment about their living arrangements, Harper is pushed to confront Tane about where they stand.

When Harper finally speaks to Tane, she’s relieved to hear his reassurances that he’s committed to attending future scans and appointments. However, this heartfelt conversation means Tane misses an important meeting with Perri, who is preparing for a critical court appearance regarding his abusive father. Perri, feeling abandoned, confronts Tane for not being there for him during this tough time.

As tensions rise, Tane realizes that balancing his commitment to Harper and his loyalty to Perri won’t be easy. The pressure reaches a peak when both Harper’s next ultrasound and Perri’s court date are scheduled for the same day. Now, Tane must make a difficult choice—where will his loyalties lie when both Harper and Perri need him the most?
