This week on Home and Away in Australia, Eden’s family reunion ends in an emergency dash to the hospital, as her friends rally Summer Bay in the hope of helping her.
Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) has been hoping for a stem cell transplant following her diagnosis with aplastic anaemia, but the search for a suitable donor has so far brought disappointment.
With siblings proving to be the best chance of a match, and sister Abigail (Hailey Pinto) unable to donate, Eden pinned her hopes on brother Levi (Tristan Gorey).
Last week, those hopes were dashed when his results ruled him out, alongside their parents and Eden’s husband Cash (Nicholas Cartwright).
Hoping to ease her loneliness, Cash and Levi arranged a socially distanced lunch outside the farmhouse, allowing Eden to spend some time with her siblings and Mackenzie (Emily Weir).
Yet the gathering also brought the news that Levi wasn’t a match, leaving Eden to admit to Cash that she’d been hoping her big brother would be able to save her.
This week, the strain is becoming increasingly difficult for Levi to bear. When Mac finds him sitting alone in the dark, he admits he’s struggling with everyone looking to him for reassurance.
He’s trying to keep Abby positive whilst facing questions from Eden about whether she’s going to die, and despite his medical knowledge, he cannot give her the answer she desperately wants.
After Levi fields another call from dad Jimmy (Aaron Jeffery), Mac suggests asking his parents to visit. But Levi dismisses the idea, insisting he’ll feel better about things after a good night’s sleep.
Meanwhile, Remi’s (Adam Rowland) dismayed to discover from Mali (Kyle Shilling) that Eden has left hospital without him knowing. Having been busy supporting Sonny (Ryan Bown) through his own difficulties, Remi feels increasingly removed from his best friend’s situation.
The following day, Remi, Mali and Sonny question Levi about Eden, and how they can go about finding out whether they could be donors.
All Levi can do is encourage them to get tested, pointing out that they could potentially help someone else even if they can’t help Eden. Yet his inability to answer other questions only reinforces his frustrations.
As Levi confides in Mac, she decides he needs more support than he’s willing to ask for. Slipping away to a quiet spot, she calls Jimmy and asks him how soon he could get to Summer Bay.
Levi continues poring over information about Eden’s illness, unable to stop imagining losing her.
When Jimmy unexpectedly arrives that evening, admitting that Mac invited him, Levi’s grateful that she went against his wishes.
Abby soon turns up, having been sent home by Mac in order to spend some time with her dad, and talk soon turns to whether Jimmy can see Eden. Levi’s cautious, but Abby persuades him that they can at least ask the question.
When Cash tells her Jimmy’s in town, Eden’s eager for another family get-together. Cash can see how exhausted she is, but reluctantly asks for Mac and the Fowlers to arrange a socially-distanced picnic.
In a promo for this week’s episodes, Eden begins to question what her illness means for Cash, pointing out that this isn’t what he signed up for.
Cash is unwavering in his response, telling Eden that marrying her was the best decision he ever made.
