Home and Away has always been a soap that knows how to balance heartwarming family moments with gut-wrenching drama, and next week’s episodes promise no shortage of either.

From shocking betrayals to heart-rending confessions, to unexpected twists that could change Summer Bay forever, the first week of September is shaping up to be one of

the most dramatic stretches of the season so far. Here’s a full breakdown of 14 must-see spoilers that will leave fans reeling.

1. Joe Makes a Life-Altering Confession to Tane

Sibling rivalries in Summer Bay are nothing new, but the tension between Lacey and Joe is reaching breaking point. Locked in a bitter feud over their late mother’s eternity ring, neither sister is willing to back down. But beneath the hostility lies a secret that could change everything.

In a raw moment at the beach, Joe opens up to Tane, confessing that she was behind the wheel during the car accident that killed their mother, Christina. The most devastating part? Joe admits she has no memory of what truly happened that day. This revelation could either drive the sisters further apart or force them to finally confront the past.

2. Theo Chooses Sides — and It’s Not What Lacey Hoped

Theo, ever the peacemaker, tries to encourage reconciliation. When Lacey invites Joe over, tensions flare yet again. But rather than siding with her, Theo makes a surprising move: he urges Lacey to let go of her anger and stop blaming Joe.

In a heartbreaking decision, the sisters allow David to keep the eternity ring as a memento of Christina. But instead of healing wounds, Theo’s words deepen them. Lacey, feeling betrayed, pushes Joe away again, solidifying her bitterness.

3. Cash Inspires Cohen in a Tender Moment

While chaos brews in one corner of Summer Bay, an unlikely bond grows in another. Cohen’s connection with Cash strengthens when the two kick a football around and share stories of their pasts. Cash reveals how he used to take odd jobs to show gratitude to his foster mum, words that deeply resonate with Cohen.

Later, Cohen shyly offers to help Roo clear the table — a touching moment that proves Cash’s influence may be the positive anchor Cohen desperately needs.

4. Lacey Vows to Unearth the Truth

Unable to believe Joe’s PTSD is genuine, Lacey doubles down on her mistrust. Even as Joe suffers another panic attack, comforted by Tane and later by David, Lacey remains unconvinced. In a shocking twist, she announces plans to hire a private investigator to uncover what really happened in the crash.

Could the truth destroy her family beyond repair?

5. Irene’s Loved Ones Struggle With Change

The diner’s ownership shift becomes a bittersweet milestone for Irene and Leah. While Irene adjusts to stepping back, Leah faces the daunting reality of running things solo. Meanwhile, Irene’s health struggles loom over her loved ones. When she mistakenly calls John by Jet’s name, the emotional weight is undeniable.

Dana, ever protective, returns to check on Irene, only to be told to stop fussing. Later, Sunny joins Irene for a quiet, contemplative moment — sparking the beginning of an unexpected new friendship.

6. Jon Brings Devastating News to Cash and Eden

Wedding bells are ringing for Eden and Cash — or so they thought. Eager to tie the knot sooner, Eden pushes their big day forward. But Jon arrives with heartbreaking news: he can no longer officiate their ceremony due to the sudden date change.

The dream of a perfect day begins to crumble, leaving Eden and Cash shaken.

7. Sunny Helps Irene Let Loose

Suspicious of Sunny’s new closeness, Irene questions whether Dana sent him to spy. But Sunny insists his intentions are genuine. His encouragement soon pays off when he coaxes Irene into letting her hair down — literally. A carefree moment of dancing in the living room becomes a rare spark of joy in Irene’s otherwise difficult days.

8. Jon Admits His Deepest Fear

Dana senses Jon’s decision to step away from Eden and Cash’s wedding has more to do with Irene than scheduling. Confronted, Jon breaks down, revealing that when Irene accidentally called him Jet, he realized how deeply he fears being forgotten.

His vulnerable confession — that he wants to spend every moment he can with her — underscores just how fragile life in Summer Bay has become.

9. Mac and Levi Reveal Their Secret Journey

After weeks of secrecy, McKenzie and Levi decide to come clean to Eden and Abigail about their IVF journey. While their loved ones offer support, Mac remains wary of too much “Fowler fuss.” She asks Levi for space, retreating into bridal magazines with Abigail instead. It’s a moment that shows both her strength and her need for control.

10. Remy’s Rage Boils Over at Mac

Already reeling from Avalon’s social media posts labeling him her “muse,” Remy explodes when Avalon books them a gig at Salt. Blaming Mac for approving the event, he unleashes his fury in a verbal tirade. Eden and Abigail witness the outburst, stunned by his aggression.

The fallout leaves Remy’s relationships — and reputation — hanging by a thread.

11. Mac Stays Hopeful Despite the Odds

Despite the IVF struggles and Remy’s attack, Mac remains remarkably grounded. Watching the ocean with Levi, she admits the process may not work the first time — but insists she’s prepared for whatever comes. Her resilience is inspiring, though Levi can’t help but worry about the toll it may take.

12. Bree’s Risky Plan for Remy

Hoping to help Remy heal, Bree suggests they listen to Avalon’s song together. But Remy, still raw, refuses. Undeterred, Bree secretly arranges for him and Eden to perform at Salt. What she sees as a step toward closure could easily backfire, pushing Remy further into turmoil.

13. Roo Reassures Cohen About Childhood

When Cohen offers Roo his pocket money to “contribute,” Roo is touched but concerned. With Marilyn by her side, she gently explains that his only job is to enjoy being a child. It’s a tender reminder that, despite his troubled past, Cohen deserves a chance at innocence.

14. Cohen’s Father Is Found — But What Next?

Just when Roo begins to feel hopeful about adoption, she’s blindsided: her application has been paused. Even more shocking, David reveals that police may have located Cohen’s biological father.

But will this man want a role in Cohen’s life? And if so, will it shatter Roo’s dream of becoming his permanent guardian?

Final Thoughts: Betrayals, Confessions, and Shattered Dreams

From Lacey’s relentless pursuit of truth to Irene’s heartbreaking health struggles and Cohen’s uncertain future, next week in Home and Away is packed with emotional gut punches. Every storyline brims with betrayal, resilience, and the painful complexities of love and family.
