On the upcoming episodes of Home and Away, Justin secretly strikes a deal with his new rival Claudia, without Leah’s knowledge.
Meanwhile, Tane struggles to balance the demands of both Harper and Perri, and Cash’s actions continue to affect those closest to him.
Here’s a rundown of 14 major moments to look out for.
Justin tries to appease Claudia
Justin and Leah arrange a meeting with Claudia, the woman who was injured in a car accident after Theo failed to check her brakes.
Things get off to a shaky start, but Justin’s gentle approach proves to be effective. He apologises to Claudia and offers to buy her dinner at Salt.
Justin also agrees to service every part of Claudia’s car free of charge, which she accepts.
Claudia threatens Justin with legal action
Later, Bree sees Claudia at Salt and recognises her from when she came to hospital after the accident.
Realising something isn’t right, Bree checks Claudia’s medical file before calling her to come in for another CT scan.
Claudia immediately gets on the phone to Justin and tells him if it’s bad news then she’ll be suing him for everything he’s got.
Eden lashes out at Levi
Over at the motel, Levi and Eden are trying to support Abigail while she goes through withdrawal.
When Mackenzie calls, Levi lies to her about his whereabouts. Eden is disgusted and accuses her brother of being a natural fibber. But Abigail’s worsening condition soon forces the siblings to put their differences aside.
Claudia gets the all clear
Justin goes to see Claudia in the hospital to assure her she’s in safe hands.
Bree soon returns with good news, as the results from the latest round of tests haven’t shown anything sinister. But instead of being relieved, Claudia is livid to have missed yet another day at work.
Justin makes a secret deal with Claudia
Theo is wracked with guilt over the harm his actions have caused and meets in person with Claudia to say sorry. But she’s not interested in apologies and brands Theo incompetent.
Justin goes after Claudia and offers to be her designated driver until her broken arm heals. She agrees to the arrangement, but Justin foolishly decides not to tell Leah.
Harper is feeling overwhelmed
Harper’s anxiety is in overdrive as she worries how her and Tane are going to navigate having a baby together.
When John probes whether they’ll move in together, Harper snaps and admits they haven’t discussed anything, and the not knowing is eating her up.
Dana is there to offer her sister comfort and suggests it’s time she had a chat with Tane.
Tane pledges his support to Harper
Acting on Dana’s advice, Harper pulls Tane aside to talk all things baby.
To her relief, he’s seems fully committed and promises to be by her side for any future scans and appointments. But Tane’s preoccupation with Harper soon leads him to neglect the other important person in his life: Perri.
Tane is torn between Harper and Perri
Perri is gutted when Rose informs him there’s no guarantee his statement will make a difference against his father in court.
The lad takes his frustrations out on Tane, accusing him of not being there for him.
Tane tries to make it up to Perri, but in doing that he starts straying from the promises he made to Harper.
Harper softens towards Tane
Perri informs Harper he’ll be testifying against his own dad in the looming court case.
Realising that’s why Tane has been so distracted lately, Harper softens towards him.
She promises to give her baby daddy the benefit of the doubt, on the condition he starts communicating better.
Mali’s dreams are dashed
Mali is crushed to learn he didn’t win the art competition, but finds himself unable to share the news with Kirby.
Later, Mali receives his painting back in the post along with a certificate of commendation. He goes to Kirby and reveals he didn’t win, but she tells him a commendation is still amazing.
Buoyed by his friend’s optimism, Mali is able to see things in a new light.

The guilt of lying to Mac about Abigail soon proves too much for Levi, and he admits the truth to his girlfriend.
Mac is understandably cross and admits she feels stupid for believing Levi was working around the clock, tending to patients.
It’s just another let down from Levi. But can the couple come back from this?
Cash is causing problems at Salt
Mac is also having a tough time dealing with Cash, who’s now the new co-owner of Salt, but has no clue how to run a restaurant.
Despite Mac’s best efforts, Cash won’t listen to reason and continues to mess up on the job.
Xander comes up with the suggestion of buying Cash out, but while Mac appreciates his enthusiasm, she knows there’s no way Cash would agree to the deal.
Levi invites Abigail to move in
With Abigail on the mend, Eden goes to grab a few things at Cash’s place, but is hurt when he gives her the cold shoulder.
Meanwhile, Abigail refuses to stay with Remi, claiming he took Eden away from her when Lyrik started.
Levi comes up with the suggestion of Abigail crashing at his place instead, but fails to clear it with Mac. She’s not going to thank him for that!

Cash suffers a panic attack
Following their earlier encounter, Eden confronts Cash at Salt and tells him she’s not going anywhere.
He continues to blank her, and storms off into the store room. Inside, Cash feels as if the walls are closing in around him as he starts to hyperventilate. Will this panic attack be the wake up call he needs to seek help?
