Coming up next week on Home and Away in the UK, Logan battles to save Tane’s life, PK threatens Jai, and a body is found on the beach…
Tane Parata’s (Ethan Browne) life is hanging in the balance after being stabbed during a robbery at Salt, and Mackenzie (Emily Weir), Dean (Patrick O’Connor) and Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) have to think on their feet if he has any chance of survival!
Poker player PK (Ryan Johnson), who had tricked Mac into believing that she owed him $100,000, was upset when she declined his offer to sleep with her in order to pay off her fictitious debt. As a sweetener, she paid him the evening’s winnings of $50,000, but she later discovered from Dean that this was all a ruse to get her into bed.
With her sights set on retaliation, Mac made the risky decision to offer to PK another poker session with the intention of pocketing the entire pot. However, PK’s ego had already been wounded at this point, so he declined, telling her that he was now in charge and dropping hints that he may seize control of her establishment.
Mac and Dean were confronted by two men in Salt who robbed them at knifepoint after Mac disregarded Nathan’s (Ryan Panizza) caution against crossing PK.
The two men were stopped by Tane and Felicity’s arrival, but not before a fight in which one of the men stabbed Tane.
The following week, as Tane continues to lose blood, Flick begs Dean and Tane to call an ambulance, but they both argue that they can’t since doing so would notify the authorities, who may then find out about the illegal poker nights.
Tane can only have one alternative course of action, according to Dean, and Mac was equally terrified of it. Logan, her lover, must be called (Harley Bonner).
Despite Mac’s recent admission to Logan that the company is having financial difficulties, he is blissfully ignorant of the risks she has been taking to pay off debt.
When Logan shows up, he immediately starts treating Tane and inquires as to the estimated wait time for the ambulance. He is shocked to learn that none is on the way.
An ambulance is not an option, so Mac begs him to have faith in her and promises to explain everything later.
Logan is aware that surgery is the only thing that can currently save Tane as he continues to lose blood and slips into shock. It’s reasonable to say, though, that a carving knife and cocktail strainer from the bar won’t do.
Dean is able to get into the hospital’s supply closet and retrieve the items Logan needs by enlisting Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) for a little deceit.
The time has come for Mac to finally tell Logan the truth about the poker nights while they wait for Dean to return.
Tane is moved back to the Parata residence for recuperation while Logan concentrates on finishing the operation. Things appear to be going well when Logan stays up all night to keep an eye on Tane, but then Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) sees that Tane’s hand is extremely chilly.
Logan rapidly realises that he has lost too much blood and that the surgery might have been in vain unless he finds a speedy fix while Tane starts to drift in and out of consciousness.
Nik helps Logan arrange a transfusion because, fortunately, Logan has the universal blood group O-negative, which may be utilised in all patients.
Will Logan’s bold move be enough to save Tane?
Mac calls PK and Nathan to Salt in the meanwhile. She informs him that she is no longer playing because she is fully aware of the con and that one of her friends was injured as a result of him.
Before Nathan acknowledges that it was him that requested the heavies on PK’s behalf, PK claims ignorance, but it was never intended to go that far!
Dean makes it plain that PK must return the $50,000 he stole from Mac, or else he would have to involve his pals. The threat, however, doesn’t deter PK, who discloses that he also has some buddies who are far more deadly. He assures her that things aren’t over as he departs.
Indeed, Dean gets an envelope at the board shop later on. A frightening message is written on the back of a picture of his 7-year-old son Jai (River Jarvis) that is inside.
Dean desperately tries to get hold of Jai’s mother Amber (Maddy Jevic) to ensure his safety, just as PK walks in to taunt him further.
John (Shane Withington) is forced to step in as Dean lunges for PK, warning him to stay away from his son.
To Ziggy’s displeasure, it appears that Dean is also true to his promise when he later invites over an old friend, Nugget (formerly played by Sam Webb, now Yure Covich), and two other River Boys.
The boys find PK tied up inside the car when they later meet up at the beach parking lot, and he isn’t too thrilled about it. Dean is told by PK that his deeds will make him regret them.
Ziggy is worried when Dean later returns with bloodied and bruised knuckles, but Dean is evasive and refuses to answer her questions. It seems that, for now, PK has been dealt with…
It doesn’t take long for PK to resurface, however. Later in the week, Leah (Ada Nicodemou) and Justin (James Stewart) stumble across his dead body on the beach!
Have Dean and the River Boys really done the unthinkable?
