Bree Takes a Stand for Sonny

Bree, always one to look out for those she cares about, meets up with Sonny to check on him after the recent string of confrontations. Despite their rocky history, Bree is concerned about the toll that the River Boys are taking on Sonny, and she refuses to let him spiral without offering support. She’s not blind to the fact that Sonny has made mistakes, but she believes that he deserves a chance to make things right.

However, Bree doesn’t stop at offering Sonny advice — she takes matters into her own hands by confronting Gage and Lacey at the Surf Club. Her words are blunt but full of concern for Sonny. “He doesn’t need this trouble in his life,” she tells them, her voice full of resolve. Bree is determined to ensure that Sonny doesn’t get further entangled in the River Boys’ dangerous world, even if it means confronting them directly.

Gage and Lacey, however, remain unfazed by Bree’s warnings, showing no intention of backing down. But Bree’s bold confrontation has an unexpected outcome: Remi, who has been conflicted about his relationship with Sonny, decides that if Bree can forgive Sonny, so can he. Remi’s decision marks a shift in their relationship, as he begins to see the value in second chances — especially when it comes to someone who has been a long-time friend.

Sonny and Remi Discuss the River Boys’ Grip on Theo

Later, Sonny opens up to Remi about the escalating danger Theo is in. He tells Remi the truth: Theo is in deep with the River Boys, and it’s only a matter of time before things go terribly wrong. However, they can’t go to the police about it. Sonny’s words hang heavy in the air as Remi processes the gravity of the situation. Sonny’s honesty about the predicament makes it clear: Theo’s situation is dire, and there’s no easy way out.

Sonny’s struggle to protect his friends is evident, but his concern for Theo’s safety only intensifies as he feels more and more trapped in the River Boys’ world.

Theo Faces Doubts and Confrontation from Justin

Meanwhile, Theo is busy finishing the car he’s been working on, but a looming sense of distrust surrounds him. Justin, hearing rumors about the River Boys’ involvement with stolen car parts, expresses his concerns to Theo. He wonders if Theo has cut corners while working on his own vehicle, knowing how risky it could be to get mixed up with the River Boys’ illegal operations.

Theo, already on edge, is deeply offended by Justin’s insinuation and fiercely defends his integrity. “You’ve got to trust me,” he insists, but his pride is shaken. Theo is caught between his loyalty to the River Boys and his desire to maintain a sense of honor, which is why Justin’s suspicions hit him hard. Despite his offense, Theo is left with an unsettling feeling that he might be heading down a dangerous path.

Theo eventually presents his finished car to Gage, who, as expected, wants to buy it. The River Boy’s relentless pursuit of Theo’s prized creation puts Theo in a precarious position. However, this time, Theo stands his ground. “It’s not for sale,” he says firmly, unwilling to give Gage control over yet another part of his life.

But even as Theo resists, the underlying tension remains. During a meeting at Salt, Theo and Lacey share a quiet moment, their feet brushing under the table. The subtle contact speaks volumes — these two secret lovers are playing a dangerous game, and every moment they spend together under Gage’s watch brings them closer to disaster.

Alf Takes a Hard Line with Eliza

As tensions mount in other parts of Summer Bay, Alf Stewart grows increasingly frustrated with Eliza’s recent behavior. The troubled teen has pushed him to his limits, and Alf, known for his tough-love approach, decides it’s time to lay down the law. He orders Eliza to help him out at the bait shop and the club, hoping that some responsibility and structure might help her straighten out.

However, Roo, always loyal to Eliza despite her past actions, intervenes. She insists that Alf’s punishment is too harsh and that Eliza needs understanding, not more discipline. Alf’s frustration with Eliza’s defiance is evident, but he stands firm in his belief that Eliza needs to learn respect, and he’s prepared to do whatever it takes to make that happen.

Roo’s loyalty to Eliza is clear, but Alf’s sense of responsibility to the community — and his growing fear that Eliza’s behavior could spiral further — leaves them at odds. The clash between Alf’s strictness and Roo’s compassionate approach is only the beginning of what could be a deeper family divide.

The Fallout of These Confrontations

In the coming days, the fallout from these interactions will have serious consequences for everyone involved. Bree’s decision to confront Gage and Lacey will have a ripple effect, likely leading to more tension and confrontations with the River Boys. Sonny’s efforts to protect his friends will be tested, and Theo’s position with the River Boys becomes even more precarious.

Meanwhile, Eliza’s defiance will continue to challenge Alf’s authority, and the tension between Alf and Roo will simmer beneath the surface. As these characters face their respective struggles, Summer Bay braces for more explosive moments and life-changing decisions.

Will Theo manage to break free from the River Boys’ influence, or is he already too far in? Will Bree’s intervention be enough to protect Sonny from Gage’s wrath? And how long can Eliza continue to defy Alf without facing the consequences? The answers to these questions will shape the future of Summer Bay, and fans won’t want to miss what happens next.
