Summer Bay is once again bracing for emotional turbulence as Home and Away unveils one of its most chilling and unexpected twists of the season. After weeks of guilt, grief, and unanswered questions surrounding the death of his ex-wife, Felicity’s spiralling trauma, and Tane’s growing unease, a shocking revelation has emerged — and it threatens to rewrite everything Tane thought he knew about his past.

The storyline ignites when Tane Parata, still wrestling with the emotional fallout of his divorce and the painful memories attached to his former marriage, travels to pay respects at his ex-wife’s small, quiet funeral service. The moment was meant to bring closure. Instead, it opened a terrifying new chapter.

According to insider teasers, Tane was struck by a disturbing sensation during the ceremony: the feeling that he was being watched. A hooded figure lingered at a distance, standing motionless, observing every moment of the service. At first, Tane assumed it was simply another grieving acquaintance — but his instincts refused to settle.

Days later, a seemingly innocent conversation would unravel the truth.

Back in Summer Bay, during a reflective moment with Cash and Harper, Tane mentioned the mysterious attendee. Harper froze. She revealed that she had seen the same figure lurking around Summer Bay weeks earlier — someone who seemed to be watching the Parata family with unsettling intensity.

That was the moment everything clicked.

Tane finally realized the truth:
The person at his ex-wife’s funeral was not a stranger…
It was someone connected to his past in a way he never imagined — a figure tied to the dark final chapter of his ex-wife’s life.

Sources describe the person as a man recently released from custody, linked to the violent criminal network that had once targeted the Paratas. The man’s presence at the funeral wasn’t an act of respect, but a message. A warning. A reminder that unfinished business is circling back.

The emotional weight of the discovery hits Tane like a tidal wave. For years, he believed his ex-wife’s downfall was rooted in her own struggles and the collapse of their marriage. Now, he is confronted with the terrifying possibility that she may have been followed, manipulated, or harmed by a criminal force connected not to her — but to him.

The guilt is suffocating.

Complicating matters further, Felicity begins to sense that Tane is hiding something again. Their fractured connection, still tender from past wounds, grows tense as she presses him for answers. Tane, torn between protecting her and confronting the shadows of his past, remains silent — a decision that threatens to unravel the fragile peace they’ve rebuilt since their breakup.

As the criminal link deepens, Cash launches an unofficial inquiry, fearing that someone from the Paratas’ past is resurfacing with a dangerous agenda. The Bay’s tight-knit community may soon find itself entangled in a threat far bigger than a mysterious funeral attendee.

What began as a moment of closure has now transformed into the beginning of a sinister new chapter — one that could pull Tane back into the darkness he fought so hard to escape.

The question hanging over Summer Bay:
Is this a warning… or the first move in a much bigger plan?
