Warrior strength, violent attack and hidden torment in Home and Away

This week in Home and Away, Mia (Anna Samson) is struggling to get through to Chloe (Sam Barrett) as guilt consumes her in the aftermath of Ari’s (Rob Kipa-Williams) arrest.

Turning to desperate measures, she takes her daughter’s diary and browses through it – only to be horrified by its contents.

Meanwhile, Theo (Matt Evans) is resisting his arrest, saying that Alf (Ray Meagher) is just trying to settle a score after the Buried Alive prank with Ryder (Lukas Radovich). However, Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) deals him the harsh truth – he has committed a crime and he could have a criminal record for the rest of his life.

Elsewhere, Neve’s (Sophie Bloom) condition becomes increasingly apparent, and Mackenzie (Emily Weir) begins to wonder if moving Logan’s (Harley Bonner) ex in was a good idea. When Logan and Neve are out walking along the beach, Neve becomes convinced Bella (Courtney Miller) is taking photos of her and lunges at her. Bella tells Mackenzie she needs to be careful – Neve is volatile…
