Home and Away spoilers for next week 5 to 9 October 2026

 What's next in Summer Bay?

Coming up on Home and Away, Eden and Cash are forced to face the possibility that she could die as the search for a donor continues.

Elsewhere, Zane deliberately gets himself arrested in a bid to go back to jail, and a familiar face returns to the Bay. But will he be welcome?

Here's a full collection of 12 big moments coming up.

Eden's mum arrives in town

Cash is out running to escape Eden's illness, but as he returns home, he can't bring himself to go inside. He's distracted by the arrival of Eden's mum Deb, who's come to town to help care for her daughter.

Once alone with her parents, Eden tells Deb and Jimmy that she needs to speak to Cash about what will happen if they can't find a matching donor.

Eden tries to talk to her husband, but Cash won't accept any other outcome other than them growing old together.

 Lacey gives David her blessing

David and Amelia spend a romantic morning in bed, before heading to Salt where they unexpectedly run into Lacey.

Lacey asks David if she can have a drink alone with Amelia and takes the opportunity to apologise for being so mean to her.

Afterwards, Lacey tells David she thinks Amelia might actually be really good for him and gives the couple her blessing.

Levi can't contain his anger

Levi is fuming over the loss of Mackenzie's frozen embryos and wants to take out a lawsuit against the IVF company.

Mac cannot match Levi's anger and only feels deep sadness over what she's lost.

Mali makes Levi see how much Mac is hurting and makes him realise they don't need a lawyer, just each other.

Richie is back in Summer Bay

Eden still needs to have the hard talk with Cash and tells Jimmy she thinks it's best if he and Deb go home to give them space.

Abigail is overwhelmed with fear that Eden is giving up, but Jimmy advises her to head out for some fresh air and a break.

Abigail's trip out takes an unexpected turn when she comes face-to-face with her ex-boyfriend, Richie Brezniak. What's he doing back in Summer Bay?

 Richie begs Abigail for another chance

After listening patiently to Abigail's worries about Eden, Richie reveals what he's been up to since being kicked out of the police.

Alf is not best pleased to see David's shooter back in town, but Richie is determined to start afresh.

He summons Abigail to the beach and asks if she would consider giving things another go between them.

Cash and Eden have a heartbreaking conversation

Jimmy tells Deb that their presence is allowing Cash to withdraw from speaking to Eden, and they agree it's best they left.

Deb takes the chance to be honest with Cash and explains Eden needs to have a conversation about her mortality.

So as Jimmy and Deb hit the road, Cash and Eden are finally left alone to have the conversation he's been dreading.

 Tane still has it in for Sonny

Tane gives Sonny a nudge as he passes through the Surf Club, sending his foe to the floor.

Alf and John rush over to help Sonny up and lay into Tane, who shows no remorse as he still blames Sonny for Archie leaving.

Tensions flare again when Tane arrives at Salt to see Sonny working behind the bar and Remi is forced to explain that Mac gave him a job.

Levi lashes out at Tane

Tane arrives at Mac's to have it out over her decision to hire Sonny, but finds himself on the receiving end of Levi's rage.

Levi's anger continues to build as he makes a call to the IVF clinic and has a go at the receptionist.

Mac is forced to step in and tells Levi what he's doing is not helping anyone, most of all her.

Mac and Levi have a decision to make

Sonny fears he's been fired when he arrives at Salt to see Mac talking to Tane, but she reassures him that's not the case.

After Tane apologises for his earlier outburst, Mac explains that Levi is hurting over the loss of their embryos.

Mac returns home and asks Levi where they go from here. Do they try IVF again? Or choose a life without kids?

Zane wants to go back to prison

Marilyn tries to lift Zane's mood by suggesting he enrols in a community college course, but he feels he'd be better off in prison.

Feeling undeserving of a second chance, Zane cancels his scheduled driving lesson with John and heads off for his parole check in.

David tells Zane they may look at relaxing his parole conditions but warns one wrong step could see him locked up again.

Zane goes on the rampage

David's warning sets Zane on a path of destruction as he grabs a pool cue and uses it to vandalise both the Juice Bar and board shop.

Marilyn is totally bewildered by Zane's actions and David can only issue a caution after struggling to understand the motive.

Not happy with this, Zane reacts by punching a police officer in the face. David arrests him and the relief is clear for Zane. Has he got his wish of going back to jail?

Mac and Levi's baby journey is over

Mac and Levi remain torn over what to do as she questions whether they can truly be a family without children.

Levi firmly believes they can be. This is a relief for Mac, who tells him she can't go through IVF again.

With the decision made, Levi makes the call to the clinic and asks that they be removed from the client list.
