In the latest episode of Home and Away, the drama reaches new heights as Harper drops a major bombshell—she’s pregnant. Episode 8306 unfolds with Dana on patrol when Xander approaches her, but their conversation is quickly interrupted by Harper, who arrives with life-altering news. Despite Dana’s initial frustration with Xander, she is immediately swept into Harper’s world-shattering revelation.

Harper, maintaining a surprisingly calm demeanor, tells Dana that she’s expecting and that Tar is the father. Harper admits that her situation is complex and she’s uncertain about her next steps, but she’s counting on her sister for support. The sisters retreat to discuss the situation privately, where Harper’s cool exterior contrasts with Dana’s mounting panic.
Meanwhile, Harper’s attempts to share the news with Tar are thwarted. When she finally gets a chance to talk to him, Tar is distracted by Perry’s sudden disappearance. Perry has been avoiding his father’s calls and is upset that Tar disclosed his situation to Rose, leading to police involvement—something Perry desperately wanted to avoid. Tar fears Perry might have gone back to his father, which complicates Harper’s plans to announce her pregnancy.
As the tension mounts, Dana is seen rushing to the surf where Xander has sustained an injury. Overcoming her earlier anger, she leaps into action, helping to drag Xander to safety. Dana watches anxiously as the doctors reassure her that Xander’s injury is not as severe as it first seemed—no fractures and he should recover soon. However, Xander’s situation takes a worrying turn when he tries to remove his neck brace but reveals he can’t feel his legs. This shocking development leaves Dana in a state of fear and concern for the man she loves.
Despite Xander’s initial outburst, telling Dana to leave and insisting his issues are not her concern, she remains steadfast. Encouraged by Rosa, Dana decides to stay by Xander’s side through the night. When Xander later begs her to stay, despite his earlier insistence that she go, Dana remains committed to supporting him.
The episode is packed with emotional twists as Harper grapples with her unexpected news and Dana navigates her complex feelings for Xander. Fans of Home and Away won’t want to miss this intense installment that sets the stage for dramatic developments and heartfelt moments in the days ahead.
