Shocking Twist in Home and Away: The Murderer Was the One Who Shook Justin’s Hand…

Fans of Home and Away have been left reeling after a jaw-dropping revelation that no one saw coming. In a chilling twist that aired last night, the seemingly innocent handshake between Justin Morgan and a new arrival in Summer Bay turned out to be far more sinister than anyone imagined. Could Justin have unknowingly greeted the very person responsible for one of the Bay’s most shocking crimes?

The episode opened with a sense of calm after weeks of emotional chaos — Justin (played by James Stewart) was finally starting to move forward with his life, focusing on his garage and rebuilding trust with Leah. But peace in Summer Bay never lasts long. A mysterious newcomer, charming yet oddly evasive, appeared at the garage offering help — and within moments, Justin extended his hand in a friendly welcome. It was a handshake that would send shivers down the spine of every viewer once the truth came out.

By the end of the episode, a chilling flashback revealed the truth: this same newcomer had been seen near the crime scene of the recent unsolved murder that has haunted the Bay. The clues had been there all along — a faint scratch on his arm, a nervous glance during questioning, a story that didn’t quite add up. And now, as Justin’s gesture of goodwill turns into a moment of horror, fans are left asking: how close is he to danger this time?

Social media erupted the moment the credits rolled. Viewers flooded X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook with shocked reactions, some claiming they had suspected something “off” about the new character from the start, while others admitted they were completely blindsided. “I can’t believe Justin just shook hands with the killer!” one fan posted. “This twist has me screaming at my TV,” wrote another.

Insiders have hinted that this storyline is just the beginning of a much darker arc for Justin. Sources close to the show tease that his life — and Leah’s — will be thrown into chaos as the truth about the murder begins to unravel. The friendly stranger may not be working alone, and there could be more than one secret hiding behind that innocent smile.

With the tension in Summer Bay hitting new heights, fans are bracing themselves for the emotional fallout. How will Justin react when he discovers who he’s really let into his world? And most importantly — who will be the next victim before justice is served?

One thing’s for sure: Home and Away has just delivered one of its most shocking cliffhangers in years. As the mystery deepens, viewers won’t want to miss a single episode — because in Summer Bay, even the kindest handshake could be deadly.
