A Devastating Loss for Summer Bay
Tragedy has struck Home and Away once again. Theo Poulos’ shocking death in a brutal hit-and-run has sent waves of grief through Summer Bay, leaving families shattered and secrets exposed. Now, after weeks of silence, Lacey Miller finally breaks her quiet—and what she reveals threatens to tear the town apart even more.

Lacey’s Deadly Plan for Justice
It all began when Lacey uncovered the truth about Councillor Craig Wendell’s role in her mother’s fatal crash. Consumed by rage and a thirst for justice, she devised a dangerous plan to blackmail him into confessing. But when the confrontation turned violent, everything spiraled out of control.

As Lacey faced Wendell, he tried to run her down. In a moment of pure courage, Theo leapt in to save her, pushing her to safety. The impact was devastating. Theo was struck by the car, dying in Lacey’s arms as Wendell fled the scene. What was meant to bring closure ended in heartbreak, leaving Summer Bay reeling.

Grief Turns to Blame — Leah’s Fury Unleashed
As Theo’s loved ones struggle to cope, grief quickly transforms into anger. Leah Patterson, devastated by the loss of her nephew, lashes out at Lacey, accusing her of dragging Theo into danger. “You killed him!” Leah shouts, unable to contain the pain that’s consumed her.

Her fury only grows when Theo’s mother, Cassandra, returns to the Bay. Upon learning what happened, she blames Leah for failing to protect her son. Their confrontation becomes explosive, ending with Cassandra warning Leah to stay away from the funeral. Summer Bay’s tight-knit community suddenly feels fractured beyond repair.

The Hunt for Craig Wendell
Meanwhile, Sergeant David Langham and Cash Newman race against time to capture Wendell, who’s been hiding since the night of the crash. As Theo’s funeral takes place, Cash spots the disgraced councillor lurking in the distance.

What follows is a tense chase through the streets of the Bay. Cash briefly manages to pin Wendell down, but the killer slips away once again, vanishing into the night. Justice still hangs in the balance, and Theo’s family remains haunted by unanswered questions.

A Bay Forever Changed
As the sun sets over Summer Bay, sorrow lingers in every corner. Theo’s death has left a wound that words cannot heal, and those left behind must now face the painful truth that justice and forgiveness don’t always come easily.

The question remains: can Summer Bay find peace again, or has Theo’s tragic sacrifice changed it forever?
