push Summer Bay to breaking point. From marriages hanging by a thread to custody wars spiraling out of control, the episodes airing 9–13 February promise

relentless drama — with Kerrie’s arrival lighting the fuse on chaos that could change lives forever. Here’s a deep dive into the 12 massive story developments set to rock the Bay.

1. Leah and Justin’s Marriage Hits Crisis Point

Leah and Justin’s once-solid relationship continues to unravel, and this week it reaches a terrifying tipping point. Sunny is left shaken after Leah accuses Justin of never truly caring about Theo — a claim that doesn’t sit right with him. Confused and conflicted, Sunny turns to Remy, who passionately defends Justin, listing everything he did to support Theo in his darkest moments.

But Sunny’s doubts grow when Justin abruptly throws him out of the house and follows it up with a venomous voicemail. Meanwhile, Leah shuts down entirely, refusing to communicate. The silence between husband and wife becomes deafening, and the question hangs heavy: is this marriage already beyond saving?

2. Cash Digs Into Joe’s Romantic Past

Tensions rise as Tane grows frustrated when Joe cancels their coffee date to spend time with Eddie. Feeling sidelined, he asks Cash to quietly look into Joe’s history. Cash’s curiosity is sparked, and his questioning of David uncovers a bombshell — Joe and Eddie were once romantically involved.

Cash warns Tane that he may have already lost his chance, setting the stage for heartbreak and rivalry as old flames threaten to reignite.

3. Remy Pushes Eddie Toward Stardom

Remy sets his sights on reviving his struggling record label and believes Eddie is the key. He pitches a bold plan: Eddie performing at the massive Off the Rails Music Festival, with a party train transporting artists and guests across the country.

Eddie hesitates, unsure if he’s ready for such a leap. Meanwhile, Justin sees opportunity — not just for Eddie, but for himself. He quietly asks Remy if returning to the label could help him escape the emotional wreckage of his marriage to Leah.

4. Eddie Lands the Gig of a Lifetime

The gamble pays off. Sunny bursts in with thrilling news: Eddie has officially been booked for Off the Rails. Justin and Remy scramble to see what Eddie is capable of in the studio, discussing recording options and future plans.

Buoyed by excitement, Eddie invites Joe to join him at the festival — and she eagerly accepts. The decision feels celebratory, but it also deepens the emotional triangle forming beneath the surface.

5. Joe Puts Tane in the Friend Zone

Joe finds herself torn between Eddie’s familiarity and Tane’s emotional intensity. Seeking clarity, she opens up to Lacey, who helps her realize Eddie feels “safe” — perhaps too safe.

Determined to explore her feelings honestly, Joe asks Tane out for coffee. Her heart sinks when he gently but firmly says they should remain friends. The rejection stings deeply, leaving Joe questioning whether she’s already missed her chance at love.

6. Tane Loses Control Over Archie’s Custody

Tane’s fragile calm shatters when he receives a legal letter outlining Harper’s proposed custody arrangements for Archie. Despite Molly’s pleas to stay rational, Tane storms over to confront Dana, demanding to know where Harper and Archie are staying.

Dana refuses to betray her sister but offers to arrange a neutral meeting. The confrontation exposes just how close Tane is to losing control — and how far he might go to protect his son.

7. Harper and Tane Reach a Fragile Agreement

The arranged meeting between Harper and Tane quickly turns volatile when Harper learns he’s shared private details with Mackenzie. Furious, she lashes out — and it’s left to Dana to step in and de-escalate.

In a surprising move, Dana invites Harper and Archie to move in with her and Sunny temporarily, offering stability while Harper searches for a new place. It’s a fragile truce, but one wrong move could shatter it.

8. Mackenzie and Levi Take Another IVF Leap

In a rare moment of tenderness, Levi finally presents Mackenzie with a deeply personal gift — a custom surfboard designed by Molly, illustrating their entire love story. The emotional gesture reminds them why they started this journey together.

Later, they make a bold decision: to try IVF again. They book the next cycle almost immediately, choosing to keep it private. Hope flickers — but both know the emotional cost could be devastating if it fails.

9. Kerrie’s Arrival Sparks Explosive Fallout

Harper’s estranged mother, Kerrie, arrives in Summer Bay determined to reconnect. But the wounds she left behind haven’t healed. Harper explains that Dana isn’t ready — and truthfully, neither is she.

When Harper leaves to see Dana, Kerrie breaks her promise and sneaks out of the motel. She bumps into John, who innocently offers her a tour of town. It isn’t long before Dana comes face to face with the mother who abandoned her — and the confrontation explodes in pain, anger, and unresolved trauma.

10. Tane Demands Answers

Back at the motel, Harper confronts Kerrie for going behind her back. That night, Tane arrives — openly hostile and uninterested in politeness. He wants to know exactly why Kerrie is in town.

Harper later takes Tane to Salt, insisting the visit was unplanned and that Kerrie will not be introduced to Archie. But Tane’s trust is shaken, and fear for his son’s safety begins to override reason.

11. Tane Prepares to Run With Archie

Kerrie becomes convinced that Tane is deliberately blocking her access to Archie. She pressures Harper to intervene, planting seeds of doubt and resentment. When Dana warns Tane that Harper may allow Kerrie to see Archie, panic sets in.

In a move that echoes his past mistakes, Tane disappears with his son. Harper is devastated, unable to believe he would repeat such a traumatic act. Kerrie fuels the fire by suggesting legal action — and Harper is tempted to listen.

12. Eden Tries to Stop History Repeating

Eden declines Remy’s festival ticket to focus on her police volunteering program — a decision that proves crucial. Returning home, she catches Tane moments away from driving off with Archie.

Eden brings them inside and listens as Tane pours out his fears, convinced Kerrie poses a real threat. Calm, firm, and compassionate, Eden becomes the voice of reason. But will it be enough to stop Tane from running — and tearing his family apart for good?

Final Word

This week, Home and Away proves once again why it remains one of television’s most gripping dramas. With Kerrie’s arrival igniting old wounds, relationships fracturing under pressure, and one father on the brink of making an irreversible decision, Summer Bay is heading straight into emotional freefall.
