When Jasmine (Sam Frost) wakes up from her coma this week on Home and Away, she has trouble remembering what she’s been taught by people around her. Will Christian (Ditch Davey) figure out what her mysterious ailment is?
Christian is torn apart as Rachel (Marny Kennedy) is rushed back to the hospital after being released due to a hit-and-run accident. Rachel’s tragedy has an affect on Justin (James Stewart), who believes he may be to blame because he passed out behind the wheel…
Meanwhile, Sienna (Rose Riley) continues to torment Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo), with Bella (Courtney Miller) recruited to film his session and Allegra (Laura McDonald) saying she knows about his night with her. In addition, in the aftermath of the food explosion, Ryder (Lukas Radovich) and Chloe (Sam Barrett) are confronted with an unwelcome truth.
Here’s what’s on tap for the week starting August 9th.
Irene is concerned for Jasmine, who is suffering from an unknown illness
After fainting, Jasmine was taken to the hospital and placed in a coma. When Christian proposes that it’s time to take her out of the anesthesia, Irene is concerned about how she’ll react. Jasmine continues to breathe on her own, but she has no recollection of what happened with the food truck explosion, and she begins to forget everything that has been told to her on a regular basis.
Christian is devastated when Rachel is killed in a hit-and-run accident
Christian has put in a lot of effort to help Rachel heal from her skydiving tragedy, even if it meant skipping his own wedding and alienating his betrothed Tori. When Rachel’s release date arrives, she is only out for a few hours before being struck by a vehicle. Rachel passes out after being rushed back to the hospital, and Christian is left with the realization that, after saving her from one accident, she has now been stolen by another.
Justin expresses his concern that he may have murdered someone during his drug-free period
Justin was recently ejected after refusing to accept he was an addict or stop using the painkillers. He buys black market drugs from a shady character and blacks out shortly after ingesting them, waking up on the side of the road. He returns home, terrified, and when Leah informs him that Rachel is in the hospital following a hit-and-run, Justin realizes he may have been the perpetrator.
Mackenzie’s apology is thrown back in her face by Ziggy
Mackenzie is attempting to reassemble her life, and Dean reminds her of the individuals to whom she should apologize. When Mac spots Ziggy in the Surf Club on her way to the gym, she takes advantage of the chance to approach her and apologize for her actions. Ziggy, on the other hand, scoffs at her old friends’ apologies, and even when Dean attempts to persuade her later, it’s apparent she won’t bend – and she’s not willing to forgive Mac at all.
During a tumultuous night of pain medication detoxification, Justin terrorizes Leah
Justin has seen the mistake of his ways after feeling that his drug usage may have contributed to Rachel’s hit-and-run, and he wants to straighten up his act. However, rather of seeking professional treatment, he insists on going cold turkey at home. Leah and Tori are worried, but they will stand by him throughout the night. However, things get off to a horrible start when Justin, who is suffering from withdrawals, gets into a foul temper and starts breaking up the house, prompting Leah to leave in panic.
As Sienna continues to exploit Bella, Nikau collapses
Nikau is in a lot of trouble as a result of his affair with Sienna. His management seizes the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, organising a streetwear photoshoot and hires Bella as the photographer. Bella and Sienna’s friendship torments Nikau, and the issue is made worse when Allegra urges him to “figure himself out,” as if it’s no great thing that he slept with Sienna. Nikau falls apart – how does Allegra know, and who else is aware of this? How long before Bella discovers the truth?
Ryder and Chloe are shocked to learn that their food truck company has been destroyed
After the food truck explosion, Chloe has just returned home from surgery, but Ryder is still in the city dealing with the insurance company. Despite her best efforts, Chloe is preoccupied with the implications of the explosion for their company. When Ryder gets home and cautiously confesses the reality – they weren’t insured for the vehicle, so their budding business is effectively dead – her worst fears are realised.
Is Justin being held responsible for Susie’s death?
Justin begins to eliminate the narcotics from his system and repair his life after realising he’s an addict, which is spurred by the suspicion that he may have been the one responsible for Rachel’s hospitalisation. However, when driving to Yabbie Creek, the cops pull him over and want to check his vehicle.
Detective Peterson discovers Susie’s broken phone inside and summons Justin to the station for questioning…is Justin being framed for Susie’s murder, or might he be the perpetrator?
