Home and Away Spoilers: Theo’s Life in Peril as Gage Vanishes — A Deadly Betrayal and Desperate Rescue Unfolds

In an electrifying and emotionally charged week on Home and Away, the lives of several Summer Bay residents are thrown into chaos as betrayal, vengeance, and a race against time converge in a chilling showdown. At the center of it all is fan-favorite Theo, who finds himself on the brink of death—trapped beneath a hydraulic lift in a harrowing act of revenge. With his life hanging by a thread and Gage mysteriously vanishing, the Bay’s tight-knit community is left shaken to its core.

This week’s gripping episodes unravel the twisted aftermath of an illicit affair between Theo and Lacy—Gage’s girlfriend—and the devastating consequences of a love triangle turned lethal.

A Sinister Trap Is Set

The drama kicks off with Theo unsuspectingly walking into a nightmare. Unaware that Gage has discovered his affair with Lacy, Theo heads to the garage, only to be ambushed by Gage and the menacing River Boys. Lacy, bound and helpless, watches in horror as Theo is overpowered. Gage, his emotions masked by a cold, steely demeanor, confronts Theo with the truth. The moment is chilling. With each step closer, Gage reveals he knows everything about the betrayal.

Despite Lacy’s desperate pleas for him to let it go, Gage is determined to exact revenge. Theo attempts to flee, but there’s no escape. The River Boys descend, dragging him beneath the hydraulic lift—the very one holding up his own car. Strapped down and utterly vulnerable, Theo’s terrified screams echo through the garage. Gage begins lowering the lift, his expression blank, driven by heartbreak and rage. It’s a calculated, cruel act meant to crush not only Theo’s body, but his spirit.

A Desperate Plea for Help

In a moment of defiance and fear, Lacy secretly manages to send a message to Sunny. The text is brief but urgent—enough to send Sunny into full rescue mode. With Cash unavailable and time slipping away, Sunny races to the garage alone, unaware of the brutal welcome that awaits him.

When he arrives, he’s just in time to witness the horrifying sight—the car descending on Theo. Sunny makes a break for the remote control, managing to halt the lift with a deafening clang. But the victory is short-lived. The River Boys, unrelenting in their loyalty to Gage, beat Sunny savagely, leaving him bloodied and barely conscious.

Theo’s Life on the Line

The aftermath is grim. Theo is unresponsive, crushed beneath the weight of his own vehicle. Emergency services arrive, and he’s rushed to the hospital where Dr. Bree finds herself in the middle of a life-or-death surgery. Bleeding around his heart makes the situation critical. There’s no guarantee Theo will survive.

Back at the hospital, Justin and Leah grapple with the horrifying reality that they may lose Theo. The emotional toll is enormous. As Matt Evans, who plays Theo, explains: “Theo’s injuries are catastrophic. There’s so much trauma—physical and emotional. He’s fighting for his life, and even if he survives, things won’t ever be the same again.”

Cash’s Investigation Intensifies

Detective Cash Newman, fired up and furious, launches an aggressive investigation. Determined to bring Gage to justice, he pulls in Gage and his River Boy crew for questioning. Smug and confident, the gang cooperates, certain there’s no evidence to link them to the crime. But while Gage remains stone-faced, Lacy’s guilt is becoming unbearable.

She’s jittery during questioning, and it’s clear she’s close to cracking. Viewers are left wondering: will Lacy betray Gage and expose the truth, or will fear keep her silent? Her loyalty is tested in the most extreme way, and the choices she makes could seal Gage’s fate—or allow him to vanish without a trace.

The Emotional Fallout

Meanwhile, Sunny, bruised and battered, blames himself for not getting to Theo in time. The tension between Sunny and Theo has been brewing ever since Theo’s betrayal came to light. Matt explains, “Sunny and Theo had their own issues. Their friendship has been strained, and now it’s pushed to the brink. This incident forces both of them to reevaluate what truly matters.”

Lacy, haunted by her decisions, becomes a pivotal character in the fallout. Her relationship with Gage—once passionate and protective—now teeters on the edge of collapse. She’s torn between her lingering fear of Gage’s wrath and a growing resolve to do the right thing. Whether she steps up and helps the police, or disappears into the shadows with the River Boys, remains to be seen.

Gage on the Run?

As the week ends, Gage’s whereabouts become uncertain. Has he fled Summer Bay to escape justice? Or is he lurking in the background, waiting for the perfect moment to strike again? With the police bearing down and tensions running high, the stakes have never been higher.

Theo’s condition remains critical. In the intensive care unit, machines beep steadily as his family clings to hope. For viewers, the suspense is unbearable. Will Theo wake up? Will he recover? And if he does—what comes next?

One thing is clear: Summer Bay won’t be the same after this. The events of this week have left scars, both physical and emotional, on everyone involved. And as the search for Gage continues, the entire town is on edge.
