Home and Away has released a promo previewing what’s in store for the Australian season finale, which airs next Wednesday.
The final episode of the year airs next Wednesday 20th November in a 90-minute special, which will see Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) with blood on his hands, Harper (Jessica Redmayne) faced with a tough decision, and two favourites share a kiss.
Now, the show has released the official promo, teasing what’s in store as we say goodbye to Summer Bay for another year.
Mali (Kyle Shilling) has spent the past few weeks lusting after Abigail (Hailey Pinto), who in turn has developed feelings for Theo (Matt Evans). However, Theo turned Abby down after discovering that she had a history with drugs, fearful that it would cause him to relapse after his own ordeal with Valerie (Courtney Clarke) earlier in the year.
“You’re not denying it any more,” we hear a character say.
“You’ve got a crush on Abby,” says another.
In the final week, Abigail surprises Mali by organising and successfully pulling off a Gala Day for the board shop. The pair are elated with the crowds the last-minute event has drawn and, caught up in the moment, share a kiss. Could this be the start of the next big romance in Summer Bay?
We then see the pair share their first kiss, as the promo reveals a major new couple for the 2025 season.
The new trailer also focusses on Tane (Ethan Browne) and Harper, who are having a baby together after their one-night stand earlier this year saw Harper fall pregnant.
Initial spoilers for the 2024 Season Finale revealed that Harper will suffer a pregnancy scare next week, as she faces the difficult decision of whether to let doctors operate on her unborn baby.
Before that, in tonight’s Australian episode, Harper realises that she and Tane have very little to talk about other than the upcoming birth of their baby, as she begins to question whether Tane is only with her as a result of her pregnancy.
“Tane and I are only together because of the baby,” she tells Dana (Ally Harris), as she sets Tane the challenge of 24 hours without talking about her pregnancy.
However, when she suffers abdominal pains, Harper learns that her baby’s life is at risk.
In the final week of the year, after Harper is rushed to hospital, Levi (Tristan Gorey) is forced to reveal that a scan has uncovered that her and Tane’s unborn baby has a cyst on its lungs. It’s putting pressure on their organs, which could result in heart failure if they don’t fix the issue.
Levi reveals that a risky in urero surgery could correct the issue – however, he warns her that the surgery could result in her going into premature labour.
Tane and Dana (Ally Harris) begin to weigh up the decision, but it seems Harper has already made up her mind – she’s not going to put her child in danger by undergoing the risky surgery.
However, her refusal to undergo the surgery means she’s putting both her baby’s life at risk, and her own.
“If I lose this baby, does that mean I lose Tane too?” she asks her sister.
Is Harper about to lose her baby, and will she lose Tane in the process?
Finally, earlier this week, TV Week teased that someone would end up with blood on their hands in the final week of 2024. The new promo reveals that to be Cash, though it’s unclear exactly whose blood it is, or whether he was responsible.
“A night of deadly consequences,” the promo teases.
It recaps some of the events of the past few weeks, which have seen Cash make it his mission to dig dirt on Tim, after learning that he was dating Eden.
Cash explained that he had a bad feeling about Eden’s new boyfriend, especially after learning that the pair met via Abby, after Tim began counselling her.
Last week, Cash began to dig for dirt on Tim, searching his car and getting in contact with anyone and everyone from Tim’s life. At the end of last week, Cash got in contact with Nerida Mullins (Ellie Gall), one of Tim’s former clients.
Cash found her after seeing a review she had left for Tim on his online profile. The fact she had left three heart emojis on the review made Cash suspicious, and he messaged Nerida on social media site Facecloud, asking to chat, and she later replied with her phone number.

Nerida explained that she and Tim dated while Tim was her counsellor, which set alarm bells ringing. But is she telling the whole truth?
When Eden questioned her new boyfriend on whether he’d ever dated one of his clients, he denied it, leaving Eden torn between her new boyfriend and her former fiancé – which of them was lying to her?
While Cash has taken Nerida at her word, it seems there could be more to her than meets the eye.
“Tell your ex to watch her back,” Nerida tells Cash next week.
The triple-episode finale on Wednesday 20th November will see the newly reunited Lyrik gang – Remi (Adam Rowland), Eden, Kirby (Angelina Thomson) and Theo (Matt Evans) – head to a luxurious private estate to rehearse, along with band manager Justin (James Stewart), Bree (Juliet Godwin) and, of course, Tim.
Eden and Tim hope to spend some quality time together, away from Cash, who has been spiralling in his obsession to ‘protect’ Eden from Tim.
Meanwhile, back in Summer Bay, Cash enters the home that Eden shares with her Lyrik bandmates, to find it’s been trashed. The word “BURN” is graffitied across the door of their open fridge.
Cash then turns up uninvited with a serious warning message he wants to get to Eden.
“I think you could be in danger,” Cash tells his former fiancée. “You need to stay away…”
“I won’t. I don’t want to see you, I don’t want to talk to you…” Eden interrupts.
But should she be heeding Cash’s advice?
Are Cash’s concerns legitimate? Or has the broken cop finally snapped and done the unthinkable?
“I’d hate for her to get in the way,” Nerida warns – is she warning Eden off Tim, or does she have an agenda of her own?
The promo then finishes with a delirious Cash regaining consciousness to find himself bloodied and bruised.
As his ears ring, he finds himself lying on the ground, his hands covered in blood, as he struggles to stand up.
As Cash appears to look at someone else lying on the ground in front of him, the promo ends with Justin stumbling upon the macabre scene, as he asks Cash: “What the hell have you done?”
Who will fight for their life in the dramatic Home and Away season finale for 2024?
The 2024 Season Finale airs on Australian screens in a triple episode on Wednesday 20th November.
In the UK, the final episode of the year airs this Friday 15th November, with a special finale which aired down under in late September.
