Home and Away’s Mackenzie and Levi delighted by pregnancy news in new spoilers

Wendell insists he has no recollection of his whereabouts that day, and adds that anyone on his team could have been driving his car at that time.

Not convinced, David suggests looking at Craig’s archived schedules—a simple way to confirm where Wendell was on the day of the crash. Wendell agrees to have his staff check, promising he’ll look into it.

As Wendell leaves, he passes Jo at the front desk. Their eyes meet, and Jo freezes—hit with a sudden, instinctive feeling she can’t explain.

Later, she tells Lacey that she felt as though the man their dad interviewed recognised her… and that he looked afraid when he did. Lacey is certain it must be the man who killed their mum.

Back inside the station, David talks it over with Cash. David isn’t buying what the councillor told him.

“He’s slippery,” David says. “But he’s smart. He had an answer for everything, but nothing useful. He’s also seemed to know more than he should.”

Keen to ensure the councillor keeps to his word, David makes a follow-up phone call pushing for the info on his old schedules, reminding him that it’s a very serious matter.

David then continues to throw himself deeper into researching Councillor Wendell, trying to get a sense of the man he is.

Meanwhile, Lacey wants results faster, and decides to go rogue.

She pushes Jo to play things a little less honest with their dad—he’s clearly not telling them everything, and the only way to find out what he knows is to get into his office. Together, the sisters come up with a plan.

Jo and Lacey call their dad and tell him that Jo’s having a panic attack and they need him home urgently, giving Lacey a clear run at the station.

David drops everything and leaves the station immediately, whilst telling Lacey to stay with Jo.

But when he arrives home, Jo’s attack has passed… and he’s not impressed to find that she’s completely alone.

In the meantime, Lacey has made her way to Yabbie Creek, where she’s turning on the charm with Constable Bowman (Nick Drummond) on the front desk and manages to talk her way straight into David’s office.

Inside, Lacey looks at David’s whiteboard, crammed with notes from the investigation into Councillor Wendell. She snaps a series of photos, determined to piece things together herself.

As Lacey heads back to the bay, David returns to the station just in time to be hit by a curveball—a call from Wendell’s lawyer.

The message is blunt: David is to cease all contact with the councillor, with the lawyer claiming that David’s got no firm evidence to place his client at the scene, and that he is being unfairly targeted.

As David tries to get his head around the lawyer’s call, his phone rings again. This time it’s his superintendent, wanting answers after being alerted to the fact that David is looking into a closed case.

He orders David to cease all inquiries, pointing out that him looking into his wife’s case is a conflict of interest.

Is it the end of the road for the investigation?

Meanwhile, over at the farmhouse, Mackenzie (Emily Weir) and Levi (Tristan Gorey) are on tenterhooks as they await the outcome of their IVF procedure.

The couple were thrilled last week to reach a crucial stage in their second round of IVF, with four viable embryos having matured.

They were immediately called into the clinic where one of the embryos was implanted, and the couple are now playing the waiting game.

Next week, Mac tries to stay hopeful by meditating, and desperately looks for any sign that she may be pregnant.

Levi gently steers her back to earth, reminding her they need to take things day by day.

It’s far too early for symptoms, he says, but it doesn’t stop her analysing every twinge and flutter, wondering if it could mean something.
