Summer Bay is the setting for escalating family tensions, as Lacy Miller continues to reject her newly arrived father and sister, while Cohen Luther is suddenly and cruelly rejected by his biological father, Adrian.

Lacy Miller Stands Firm Against Reconciliation

Lacy Miller remains stubbornly distant from her father, David Miller, and sister, Joe Miller, despite their efforts to settle into Summer Bay after purchasing Irene Roberts’s beach house. Eager to mend their relationship, David made a “heartfelt gesture” by inviting Lacy to move in, even offering her a key to the new home in hopes of achieving a “new beginning.”

However, the encounter was witnessed by Theopulos (Theo), who saw Lacy respond with complete indifference. Theo, who cares deeply for Lacy, intervened gently, suggesting it might be time for her to “let go of past grudges” and consider reconciliation, arguing that “family bonds aren’t easily replaced.” Despite the wisdom and the genuine effort from her father, it remains a central question whether Lacy will soften her stance and allow her family to find peace.

Cohen Luther’s Paternity Shock

Elsewhere, Cohen Luther is dealing with a deeply painful family dilemma. His biological father, Adrian, came to the Steuart household for dinner, seemingly keen to share stories about Cohen’s extended relatives.

The hopeful reunion, however, took a devastating turn when Roo Stewart caught Adrian loading his van. In a shocking twist, Adrian confessed he had changed his mind and would no longer introduce Cohen to his wider family. This sudden rejection left Cohen emotionally vulnerable, as Adrian prepared to walk away from his son just when he was needed most.

Adding to the week’s emotional intensity, Molly Hudson and Abigail Fowler are offering strong emotional support to Mackenzie Booth and Levi Fowler as the couple grapples with the sadness of another failed round of IVF.
