Lacey finally gets through to her.
Home and Away will air a big change for Leah Patterson-Baker next week, as the fallout from Theo Poulos' death continues. So far, Leah has been blaming Theo's girlfriend Lacey Miller for what happened, but it's not going to stay that way.
In scenes set to air on Thursday 22 January and Friday 23 January, both John Palmer and Alf Stewart try and console Leah, but her emotions are high.
Police officer (and Lacey's dad) David turns up asks if she will give a victim impact statement at Councillor Wendell's sentencing hearing, but she's unsure.
He later asks Lacey the same thing, and while she's confused as to why Wendell isn't just getting sent down right away, she resolves to make the statement to ensure justice. David tells her that she doesn't have to do it in court, and can record it in her own time.
Upon hearing that Leah is on the fence, Lacey goes to her and states that they've got a better chance if they record the statement together; to be a voice for Theo now that he doesn't have one.
Lacey thinks that she's failed to get Leah onboard, but when she sits down to record her statement, Leah turns up.
Leah is moved watching Lacey's powerful statement, but when she starts to give her own, she's overwhelmed.
With the support of David, Lacey and Sonny Baldwin, Leah gives her statement the next day, and in doing so she admits that she wrongly pinned the blame on Lacey. But now she sees that Wendell is the only one responsible. Will the corrupt Councillor get put away?
Leah hasn't been her usual self recently," our Summer Bay source points out. "She has bitterly blamed Lacey for what happened with Theo and has refused to listen to anyone who's pointed out that Lacey shouldn't be blamed.
"It's recording the victim impact statement that gives Leah the fresh perspective she needed - and it's a chance for everyone to move forward in a more positive way."
