Home and Away spoiler: Levi clashes with Dean and Karen as his holiday turns sour

Mackenzie and Levi arrive for their trip to North Queensland. As Levi is keen to meet Dean and Ziggy as soon as possible, the couple drop in for a visit. Dean openly welcomes Mackenzie, but is cold towards Levi and rebukes him for his past affair. Levi also faces an awkward encounter with Dean’s mum Karen.

As Levi faces further judgement from Mac’s extended family, he’s disheartened and ultimately heads off feeling that he hasn’t made any progress. Will Levi give up?

Meanwhile, Roo encourages Eliza to return to the youth programme. Against the odds, Eliza bonds with Scott – the boy she hit – but becomes furious and defensive when he takes her new phone to put his number in it. Eliza smashes a nearby sauce bottle and waves the glass dangerously close to Scott’s neck as she orders him to give the phone back.

Elsewhere, Mali prepares to serve up a home-cooked meal as a surprise for Abigail, despite their promise to give each other some space.

Tensions run high in Home and Away as Mackenzie and Levi arrive in North Queensland, hoping for a relaxing break — but the trip quickly takes a turn for the worse. Eager to make a good impression, Levi is keen to meet Mackenzie’s brother Dean and his partner Ziggy as soon as possible. The couple drop by for a visit, but things don’t exactly go to plan.

Dean, still harboring resentment over Levi’s affair with Mackenzie while he was married, openly welcomes his sister but gives Levi a much chillier reception. His anger is barely concealed as he rebukes Levi for his past actions, making it clear that forgiveness isn’t going to come easily. To make matters even more uncomfortable, Levi later faces an awkward encounter with Dean’s fiery mum, Karen. True to form, Karen doesn’t hold back her judgment, further alienating Levi.

Despite his best efforts to put on a brave face, Levi becomes increasingly disheartened as he faces rejection from Mac’s extended family. After feeling he made no real progress in winning them over, Levi eventually heads off alone, his spirits crushed. The question now is: will Levi persevere and continue fighting for his place in Mackenzie’s life, or has this latest setback pushed him too far?

Meanwhile, Roo continues to invest her time in helping Eliza, urging her to return to the youth program. Against all odds, Eliza seems to make a breakthrough when she bonds with Scott — the boy she had previously injured. Their conversation starts on a positive note, showing real promise that Eliza might be ready to move forward from her troubled past.

However, things quickly unravel when Scott casually picks up Eliza’s new phone to put his number into it. Misinterpreting his actions, Eliza’s trauma and distrust boil over. She reacts violently, smashing a nearby sauce bottle and wielding the broken glass dangerously close to Scott’s neck as she demands her phone back. The shocking outburst leaves Scott terrified and Roo devastated, realizing that Eliza’s deep-seated anger issues may take much longer to heal than anyone had hoped.

Elsewhere in Summer Bay, Mali tries to bridge the growing distance between himself and Abigail. After agreeing to take some space and cool off, Mali can’t resist preparing a surprise: a home-cooked meal meant to show Abigail how much he still cares. His gesture is heartfelt, but it risks backfiring given their recent promise to give each other breathing room. With tensions still simmering between them, Mali’s impulsive act could either reignite their romance — or push Abigail even further away.

As emotional wounds open across Summer Bay, the residents are all forced to confront difficult truths. Levi faces the possibility that love alone may not be enough to heal the rift between him and Mackenzie’s family. Eliza’s violent reaction reminds everyone just how fragile her recovery is. And Mali’s struggle to balance love and respect for boundaries may determine the future of his relationship.

With heartbreak, tension, and volatile emotions bubbling to the surface, the drama in Home and Away is only just beginning.
