Home and Away spoilers: Will Dean give Mackenzie another chance?
Dean has made it clear he wants nothing to do with his half-sister Mackenzie on Home and Away. But will his girlfriend Ziggy talk him around?
It's all gone wrong between Dean Thompson (played by Patrick O'Connor) and his half-sister Mackenzie Booth (Emily Weir) on Home and Away.
First the siblings fell out because of Salt boss Mackenzie's attempts to blackmail their hated dad Rick Booth. And then Dean discovered Mackenzie and his best buddy Colby Thorne (Tim Franklin) had been secretly hooking-up!
While Dean is still sulking over now being out of a job because of the drugs smuggling scandal surrounding Ben's Boards, his girlfriend Ziggy Astoni (Sophie Dillman) suggests he reaches out to Mackenzie and see if she'll give him a job at restaurant Salt.
However, Dean still has no intention of making-up with Mackenzie. So she decides to come to him instead to extend an olive branch and invite Dean to join her for dinner at Salt.
But Dean's stubborn attitude soon causes Mackenzie to snap, and she points out that she and Colby are no longer together all because of Dean's explosive reaction. Will he change his tune when he realises he has sabotaged their relationship?
Meanwhile, Jasmine Delaney (Sam Frost) is alarmed by hubby Robbo's (Jake Ryan) angry reaction to the photos and cryptic message he received. Robbo declares whoever is stalking them may as well put a bullet in his chest...
As Federal Police continue to protect the couple from the unseen threat, Robbo is determined to find out WHO is menacing them... even if it means re-opening the case files which detail the murder of Robbo's family several years ago.
Could Robbo be pushing himself to breaking point to find out the truth?
Elsewhere, Maggie Astoni (Kestie Morassi) is refusing to give up on the fight to prove her husband Ben (Rohan Nichol) did not use his business Ben's Board to secretly smuggle illegal drugs.
But will Ben finally agree to consider selling the pier complex in order to fund their legal expenses?
Home and Away continues weekdays at 1:15pm and 6:00pm on Channel 5
