Summer Bay is set to sizzle with drama this week as Home and Away delivers a whirlwind of romance, betrayal, and explosive revelations that threaten to upend
Bree (Juliet Godwin) and Remi’s (Adam Rowland) fragile reconciliation. After weeks of tension following Remi’s infidelity with musician Avalon Bracken (Gemma Dart),
the couple is tentatively attempting to rebuild trust—but the Bay’s turbulent world has other plans.
Remi’s Darkest Moment
It’s been a few weeks since Remi’s world imploded. Overworked and stressed after juggling two massive projects—producing Kirby’s (Angelina Thomson) album and performing as a guitarist on Avalon’s record—Remi found himself exhausted and vulnerable. When Avalon offered him mysterious pills to boost his energy, he accepted, and in a vulnerable, low moment, the pair slept together.
Immediately riddled with guilt, Remi confessed to Bree, hoping his remorse would patch their fractured relationship. While Bree acknowledged his regret, she was incensed that he couldn’t explain why he had strayed, ultimately ending things between them. Despite Remi’s insistence that it was a meaningless mistake, Bree’s discovery the next day—that Avalon had boasted to Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) about making Remi feel “more alive than he had in ages”—added fuel to the fire of her anger and confusion.
A Tentative Reunion
Despite the betrayal, Bree struggled to keep Remi out of her mind. When he reached out to meet, she agreed, seeking answers and clarity. During their emotional conversation, Remi admitted that he didn’t fully understand how he had ended up in Avalon’s bed, but that the encounter revealed a truth he had long ignored: he was happiest performing as a musician, not producing. He begged Bree for a chance to spend the rest of his life making amends.
Inspired by Roo’s (Georgie Parker) consideration of giving Cohen (Nathan Murray) a second chance at adoption, Bree decided to extend a similar logic to her relationship. Slowly, awkwardly, the two began dating again—but on Bree’s terms. Initial attempts at normalcy, including an uncomfortable date at Salt and tentative moments back at Bree’s apartment, highlighted the deep emotional scars left by the affair. Bree’s caution clashed with Remi’s desire for intimacy, creating tension that lingered like a storm cloud over their fragile reconciliation.
Intimacy and Emotional Struggle
Bree’s struggle to move past Remi’s betrayal became increasingly apparent. During a lunch date at Salt, her anxiety manifested in small, telling ways—flinching when he reached for the sugar, avoiding his touch, and internally wrestling with the memory of his time with Avalon. Bree confided in Eden, admitting that she couldn’t help but think about Remi’s infidelity whenever he tried to be close. Eden reassured her that intimacy would happen in its own time, but Bree interpreted this differently, impulsively attempting to force a moment of closeness with Remi.
Shocked and hesitant, Remi resisted, insisting that they needed to work through their awkwardness slowly and without pressure. The tension highlighted the delicate balance they were attempting to maintain—between desire and trust, love and betrayal. By the end of the week, Bree and Remi seemed to be gaining some footing, slowly regaining confidence in their rekindled relationship.
A Bombshell from Avalon
Just as Bree and Remi begin to find their rhythm, disaster strikes. While enjoying a quiet drink at Salt, Remi runs into Justin, who congratulates him, leaving Remi utterly confused—until Justin reveals that Avalon’s new song has just dropped. To make matters worse, Remi is not only credited as the featured artist but also publicly referred to by Avalon as her “muse.” Photos of the two, including a close, intimate selfie on the couch, have circulated online, amplifying Bree’s insecurities.
By the time Remi returns to Bree, she has already seen the posts on Kirby’s social media. Doubt and suspicion consume her: was Remi trying to keep this a secret? The revelation threatens to undo all the progress they’ve made, introducing a new, public obstacle into their private struggle to rebuild trust.
The Farmhouse Drama
Meanwhile, at the Langham farmhouse, Mackenzie (Emily Weir) is struggling after her first round of IVF, collapsed on the sofa and feeling unwell. She and Levi reluctantly share the news with Abigail (Hailey Pinto) and Eden, prompting a dramatic fallout that sees Levi temporarily ousted. Abigail steps in, attempting to lift Mackenzie’s spirits with wedding magazines, but the fragile atmosphere at the farmhouse sets the stage for further tension.
Remi’s stress reaches a boiling point when he receives a text from Avalon, confirming that she’s booked them to perform together at Salt. Furious, he rushes to the farmhouse, confronting Mackenzie mid-wedding-planning session. The confrontation triggers Mackenzie’s nausea, leaving her to flee toward the bathroom while Eden and Abigail are left appalled at Remi’s behavior. Later, Levi warns him that such conduct cannot be repeated—a sobering moment that underscores the personal consequences of letting anger dictate actions.
Bree and Remi: Facing the Music
The evening finds Bree alone in the diner apartment, drinking and listening to Avalon’s new song, consumed by both curiosity and lingering hurt. Remi arrives, encouraging her to stop torturing herself, but she insists she needs to understand what was so captivating that he threw their relationship away. The next morning, Bree wakes with a hangover to hear Remi’s explanation: he has shut down all contact with Avalon and refuses to listen to their collaboration, determined to distance himself from the past.
Bree, however, refuses to let his guilt destroy his passion for music. She recognizes that his shame is threatening to derail the one thing that truly defines him. Determined to help him reclaim his artistry and restore their relationship, Bree hatches a plan: she approaches Mackenzie and secretly books Salt for a gig for Remi and Eden, intent on forcing him back into the music he loves while giving them both a chance to heal.
What’s Next?
As Bree and Remi cautiously navigate their renewed romance, the looming presence of Avalon continues to cast a shadow over their lives. From public social media posts to unexpected performance bookings, every move is fraught with tension and emotional peril. Fans are left wondering: will Bree’s plan succeed in reigniting Remi’s musical spark and solidifying their bond, or will the weight of past betrayals and public scrutiny shatter their hard-won progress?
The coming week promises high-stakes drama, testing the limits of love, trust, and forgiveness in Summer Bay. Bree and Remi’s journey is a gripping exploration of second chances, vulnerability, and the complications that arise when personal and professional lives collide in the most public of ways.
