Summer Bay is no stranger to heartbreak, but Episode 8661 delivers a wave of emotional fallout that leaves several lives hanging in the balance —

and one relationship shattered beyond repair. Tuesday’s explosive installment opens in the aftermath of last week’s cliffhanger, with tensions simmering across the Bay.

The fallout from a long-buried secret begins to ripple outward, threatening to destroy everything in its path. What initially appeared to be a misunderstanding quickly escalates

into a confrontation that no one sees coming. At the heart of the drama is a fractured family dynamic that has been quietly unraveling for weeks. One resident, desperate to protect someone they love, makes a decision that backfires spectacularly. When the truth comes to light, accusations fly and loyalties are tested. The emotional confrontation at the Surf Club is raw and unforgiving, drawing a crowd and leaving bystanders stunned.

Meanwhile, a romantic relationship that once seemed unshakeable is pushed to its limits. After weeks of suspicion and whispered doubts, one partner finally demands answers. The response they receive is not the reassurance they were hoping for. In a painfully honest exchange, admissions are made that change everything. By the end of the episode, it becomes clear that reconciliation may no longer be possible.

Elsewhere, a simmering rivalry takes a dangerous turn. What begins as a heated argument spirals into a risky decision that could have serious consequences. There are hints that this storyline is building toward something even bigger — a potential crisis that may rock the Bay in the coming weeks.

In quieter moments, another character grapples with a personal crossroads. Faced with an opportunity that could mean leaving Summer Bay behind, they confide in a close friend about their fears. The thought of starting over is both thrilling and terrifying. As they weigh their options, it becomes clear that change is in the air — and not everyone will remain in the Bay for long.

Episode 8661 masterfully balances emotional intensity with lingering suspense. Every conversation feels loaded, every glance heavy with unspoken tension. By the closing scenes, viewers are left with more questions than answers — and a chilling final moment that suggests someone may soon pay a devastating price.

As February sweeps continue, Home and Away proves once again why it remains one of Australia’s most gripping dramas. With secrets unraveling and relationships fracturing, Summer Bay is on the brink — and the storm is only just beginning.
