urning point forces Tarn Parata into an impossible choice, while the town continues to mourn the loss of Theo Pulos in deeply personal and transformative ways.

Across 28 revealing spoiler images, the series lays bare the fragile balance between moving forward and being pulled back by the past—and the consequences are set to be explosive.

The week begins on a surprisingly hopeful note on Tuesday, January 6, as Remy finally steps into the reality he has worked so hard to create. Back on Track Records is officially open, and the sense of achievement is unmistakable. For Remy, the studio isn’t just a business venture—it’s the culmination of years of persistence, creativity, and belief in himself. The space hums with possibility, and for a brief moment, it feels like everything is exactly as it should be.

That feeling is only amplified when Sunny arrives. His pride in Remy is evident, his smile genuine as he takes in the studio’s atmosphere. Together, the two friends linger, talking excitedly about what the future might hold. They imagine new artists, late nights filled with music, and the promise of building something meaningful from the ground up. Their friendship, forged through shared struggles, feels stronger than ever.

Yet beneath the excitement lies an ache that refuses to fade. Theo should have been there. His absence hangs heavily in the air, unspoken but deeply felt. The joy of Remy’s success is inseparable from the grief of losing the person who helped inspire it.

When Justin arrives, the emotional weight becomes impossible to ignore. While he admits how fitting it feels to honor Theo through the studio, his grief is still raw. Being in the space brings both comfort and pain, a reminder of dreams shared and futures that will never be realized.

In one of the week’s most poignant moments, Leah and Justin present Remy with Theo’s guitar. They want it displayed proudly at the heart of Back on Track Records—a lasting tribute to Theo’s talent, passion, and presence. The gesture is quietly devastating. For Remy, Leah, and Justin, it feels like a way to keep Theo close, allowing his spirit to live on through the music that fills the studio.

Overcome with emotion, Remy pulls Leah into a hug. For Leah, it marks a subtle but significant step forward in her grief. The pain hasn’t gone away, but for the first time, it feels shared rather than isolating.

The following day, Wednesday, January 7, Justin carefully mounts the guitar on the wall, giving it a central place of honor. Leah, Justin, and Sunny stand together in silence, united by loss and love. Another tribute follows as a plaque bearing Theo’s name is unveiled beneath the guitar, ensuring his memory is permanently etched into the studio’s walls.

Slowly, the mood begins to lift. Sunny reveals newly printed business cards, eager to announce that Back on Track Records is officially open. Remy’s satisfaction is clear—this is the beginning of something new. He wastes no time getting to work, scrolling through gig guides and searching for fresh talent, determined to make the studio a success worthy of Theo’s legacy.

But while Remy and Sunny look ahead, trouble is brewing elsewhere in Summer Bay.

On Thursday, January 8, the focus shifts to Tarn Parata and Joe Langum, whose relationship reaches a critical crossroads. Joe is done living in uncertainty. She delivers a firm ultimatum, demanding Tarn decide whether he is truly committed or ready to walk away. For Joe, half-measures are no longer enough.

Faced with the possibility of losing her, Tarn finally confronts what’s at stake. He realizes how much Joe means to him and, for the first time, seems ready to commit fully. The tension that has plagued their relationship gives way to passion as they retreat to a motel room, away from the prying eyes of Summer Bay.

Their chemistry ignites, and the connection between them feels undeniable. For Tarn, it represents a rare chance at happiness after the emotional wreckage of his past relationship with Harper. In that moment, it feels like they might finally be moving forward together.

By Friday, January 9, Tarn and Joe are glowing. Their affection is obvious, and their long-awaited union feels sweeter for having survived so many obstacles. Tarn appears more determined than ever to build a future with Joe—but complications loom just beneath the surface.

When they sit down to talk honestly about what comes next, reality intrudes. They decide it’s best to keep their relationship secret for now, hoping to explore what they have without interference from Summer Bay’s ever-watchful residents. The plan offers temporary comfort, but secrecy has a way of creating its own problems.

Those problems arrive quickly when Tarn’s phone lights up with messages from Harper. She’s invited Cash over for a meal, instantly stirring unresolved feelings Tarn thought he had buried. Torn between past and present, Tarn begins to question where his loyalties truly lie.

Joe senses the shift immediately. She refuses to be sidelined or treated as an afterthought, making it clear she won’t tolerate any more interruptions. As Tarn gets dressed, preparing to leave, Joe makes one final attempt to pull him back—to remind him of what they share and what he stands to lose.

The week ends with Tarn caught between two worlds, his heart pulled in opposite directions. Will he choose the passion and promise of a future with Joe, or will the ghosts of his past derail everything before it truly begins?

With grief still shaping the lives of many in Summer Bay and passion threatening to upend others, Home and Away delivers a week of raw emotion, difficult choices, and high-stakes consequences. As secrets form, loyalties fracture, and legacies are honored, one thing is clear: moving forward has never been more complicated—or more dangerous.
