Next week's Home and Away episodes see Ari and Tane head off on a dangerous mission at the behest of their enemies, while Colby is baffled by the mystery of Witness X.
Meanwhile, Jasmine's issues resurface when baby Grace's first birthday party doesn't go according to plan.
Here's a full collection of 11 big moments coming up.
1. The Paratas receive another threat
The Parata family are on high alert after Nikau was nearly run over on his way to Salt after dark. It's clear that Paul, Leon and their gang are determined to keep up the pressure on Tane, who owes them for the drugs he lost.
The next threat comes in the form of a brick which is thrown through the Paratas' front window. Tane discovers a note attached to the brick and hides it from Ari, but his brother quickly realises what's going on.
2. Tane and Ari try to make a deal
As demanded by the note, Tane heads off to a secret meeting with Paul but Ari isn't too far behind. Paul reveals that he'd be willing to forget about the debt if Tane agrees to carry out a criminal job for him.
Tane agrees to the arrangement, but worries for Ari when his big brother reveals that he won't let him do it alone.
3. Nikau threatens Mackenzie
Nikau has been staying away from the Parata house for his own safety, but he's shocked when he returns home and finds the broken window. He's also confused by the sudden disappearance of his uncles, who are away doing the dodgy job for Paul.
Nikau seeks answers from Mackenzie, who's reluctant to share any details in case it gets the youngest Parata into trouble. It's only when Nikau threatens to involve the police that Mac reluctantly comes clean about Tane and Ari going away to settle their debt.
Later, Ari and Tane arrive home with the cash from the job and hope it'll be enough to keep Paul away for good. Nikau confronts them for leaving him out, reminding his uncles that they're all supposed to be a family.
4. Mackenzie discovers the truth about Ross
Mackenzie also gets embroiled in another big Summer Bay drama when Ziggy tells her the truth about Ross's murder and Dean's involvement in covering it up.
Mac angrily confronts Dean afterwards, making it clear how much she disagrees with his actions. Her surprise only grows when she discovers just how many of Colby's loved ones have been involved in the long-running cover-up.
5. Jasmine bails out Colby
Jasmine is annoyed when Angelo boasts about how Colby won't be able to afford his bail money, which means he'll have to stay behind bars ahead of the trial. Jasmine has other ideas and uses her own funds to bail out Colby.
Once Colby is freed, he desperately tries to uncover the identity of the mystery witness who has been cooperating with Angelo's investigation. He even gets into an argument with Ziggy and accuses her of being the snitch, which forces Dean to intervene in defence of his ex-girlfriend.
Angelo later realises that Colby's detective work could affect the trial, so he takes action by placing a suppression order on the identity of his star witness.
6. The mystery deepens for Colby
Colby gets excited when he receives the official court documents for his trial, which includes the list of witnesses. He eagerly looks through the files, but the identity of the mystery betrayer has been redacted thanks to Angelo's pre-emptive action.
The documents confirm that the unknown individual is a member of the public, but they are only referred to as Witness X.
Realising that there'll be no answers until he's in court, Colby focuses his attention on enjoying a last supper with Bella, Dean and Willow.
7. Angelo stands firm over the trial
Taylor may not be the mysterious Witness X, but she's still expected to testify at the trial after getting close to Colby in the past few months.
Taylor feels very uncomfortable over the situation and begs Angelo to take her off the witness list, but he refuses and makes it clear that she'll play a role in Colby's inevitable downfall.
8. Jasmine struggles at Grace's birthday party
A number of the Summer Bay locals come together to celebrate at Grace's first birthday party. Jasmine is keen to make sure that Grace's father Robbo is remembered on the special day, so she buys her a special bracelet which features his name on an engraving.
At the party, Jasmine looks for the right moment to hand over the bracelet. She's disappointed when Tori flippantly tells her to put it on the table with the other presents.
Jasmine grows increasingly upset as Christian takes centre stage throughout the party, as she fears he's taking Robbo's place in Grace's life.
The final straw comes when Christian gives Grace a bracelet that's identical to the one Jasmine had bought. Doubting her own place in Grace's life, Jasmine discreetly bins the present. Irene sees this and secretly retrieves it.
9. Justin's health takes another turn for the worse
During his latest visit to the hospital, Justin is told that he needs surgery as his tumour is growing again. Justin agrees, but wants to wait until Grace's birthday is over before having the surgery.
Justin is pleased to be at Grace's celebration later in the week, but he struggles badly with the pain. His struggles become impossible to hide when he collapses in agony, much to everyone's alarm.
The party comes to an abrupt end as Justin is rushed back to hospital. Tori argues with Christian for allowing Justin to be discharged in the first place.
10. Owen decides to leave
When it seems like Owen and Roo have finally sorted through their recent issues, they head to bed together. Sadly, the experience only confuses Roo further as she's forced to accept that she still has unresolved feelings for Owen's twin brother Evan.
As the couple talk things through, it's clear that this situation can't be resolved and they agree to go their separate ways. Ryder is shocked by the news that Owen will be leaving Summer Bay again.
11. John decides to start dating again
John decides to create a profile on a dating app, ready to move on with his life after his split from Marilyn. He recruits Ryder to help with the profile and is pleasantly surprised when local ladies start getting in touch.
John's constantly-beeping phone soon attracts gossip around the Bay, forcing Marilyn to put on a brave face over the situation. Is she jealous?
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5, with first look screenings at 6.30pm on 5STAR.
