Mackenzie issued her boyfriend an ultimatum – now she’s heartbroken and alone. Cue the protective brother Dean who takes a swing at Logan this week.
In Home And Away, Mackenzie (Emily Weir) returns home after telling Logan (Harley Bonner) to choose between her or Neve (Sophie Bloom). To her devastation, he chose his ex-girlfriend. But he claims it’s simply to treat her PTSD.
Neve went missing after active duty in Afghanistan leaving everyone, including Logan, believing she was dead. Now she’s in Summer Bay and struggling to keep her emotions in check.
“Logan loves and cares for Neve. It was once romantic but as time has passed that love has transferred into a platonic love,” Emily tells TV WEEK. “However, he still feels responsible to help her.”
At Salt, Mac runs into Logan who admits he misses her but can’t give up on Neve. The truth hits hard and Mac turns to her brother Dean (Patrick O’Connor) for advice. Instead, he fires up and heads to the motel where Logan and Neve are staying together.
As Logan answers the door, he’s greeted by a fist to the face! Dean warns him not to mess with Mac’s heart before storming off.
Logan tries again to explain himself to Mac at the surf club, but she won’t hear it – she’s calling the army to inform them of Neve’s whereabouts and fragile condition. Things have gone too far.
“Mac feels tense and worried about what Neves presence will do to her and Logan’s relationship,” Emily says.
Listening nearby, Neve hears every word and flees. But her panic sends her into a PTSD episode. Trying to take charge of herself, she turns back and tackles Mac in the surf club! The attack is witnessed by Logan and policeman Cash, who quickly intervenes.
Will Neve be OK? And is this really the end of the road for Mac and Logan? It certainly looks like it.
