Home and Away: Tane is banned from seeing the baby

Felicity presses Mali for an update on Tane, but he’s not giving much away. She stumbles over the Coastal News article and decides it’s worth checking on him. When she gets to the hospital, she catches Dana mid apology to Tane for speaking to the journalist. But Tane does not accept the apology, sending her away in tears.

Felicity confronts him and he admits he could have handled that better. But Felicity shouldn’t be there either, he argues. She heads back to Salt, admitting it’s no longer her place to try and look out for Tane.

Rose gets a call from Sarge, who assigns her a difficult task. Sure enough, the journalist has made a complaint and Rose has to action new orders – from now on, nobody except health and social services staff can stay around the baby.

Though frustrated by this, Rose is clear with Tane – he needs to leave on his own accord, or she’ll be forced to issue him with an AVO. An angry Tane returns to the gym where Dana tries again to apologise, but Tane isn’t hearing it. Thanks to her, he has been forced away, and the baby is on her own now. Dana could not feel worse.

Meanwhile, Valerie and Theo flirt over breakfast, but she’s resistant to the public affection – she fears Justin and Leah could find out about their relationship.

Speaking of Leah, she asks the boys to go for a surf so that she can have time with Valerie. When they’re gone, she speaks candidly to her friend – the clinic were asking about her. She failed to mention to Leah that she had discharged herself, and now her counsellor is worried about her.

Valerie protests, but Leah feels indebted to her for all her support – she wants to return the favour. But Valerie insists she already has – she feels 100% safe here, way more so than at the clinic. She promises to check in with her counsellor regardless, but later she’s emotional when she orders Theo to get more pills. He’s reluctant, but Valerie needs the high, and she rails at him – if he really cares about her, then why won’t he help?
