Home and Away spoiler Monday 01 January 2024 : Leah makes her escape
But her ordeal isn't over.
Leah fights for her and Justin’s lives as she drags herself up the rusted ladders in the abandoned factory. As she reaches the top, she calls down a promise to her new fiancé – explaining that she’s getting help and she’ll be back for him.
Outside, Leah realises that she’s in the middle of nowhere. Pushed to her physical and mental limits, she starts to hallucinate. Ultimately, a vision of Justin gives her the fight to keep going, but the real Justin lies lifeless on the factory floor and time is running out. Will Leah and Justin survive?
Meanwhile, Irene is angry after being arrested by Rose. She questions why Rose had to do it in front of everyone at her place of work. John desperately searches for Cash, determined to help his friend.
Harper is arrested as well. Dana protests to Rose that the arrests are wrong and she thinks Rose knows it. Under questioning, Irene also stands up for herself.
In the waiting room, John lays blame with Harper and Dana. He complains that Irene would never have been involved in this if it wasn’t for the two of them. When Dana faces Irene, she’s met with compassion – Irene points out that she went into this with her eyes wide open and she doesn’t regret it for a minute.
Rose has further bad news for Harper and Irene – the magistrate can’t see them until the morning, and that means they’re staying at the station overnight.
Elsewhere, Remi is nowhere to be seen in the wake of Kirby’s change of heart over the future of Lyrik, Eden points out there may not be a Lyrik at all if Kirby can’t get out of her solo contract with Forrest. Later, Kirby gets bad news on that front – the label is giving her time to rethink her decision, but their position won’t change – they’re not budging on the contract.
