In a gripping episode of Home and Away, Perry Hayes faces unimaginable consequences as a shocking confrontation with his abusive father, Kyle, turns fatal. Perry, who joined Summer Bay as part of Tane’s outreach program for troubled teens, has been working to stay out of trouble as he approaches his 18th birthday.
Over time, Tane has become a mentor to Perry, trying to steer him away from his past—one marked by years of abuse and criminal involvement under his father’s control.
When Kyle tracks Perry down in Summer Bay, demanding his return, Perry reaches his breaking point. Recently, Kyle was acquitted in court after Perry pressed charges, leaving Perry fearful of revenge. Despite a restraining order, Kyle disregards it, following Perry back to the house on Saxon Avenue. There, Perry finds a chilling message—his father has left a knife stuck in a chopping board as a warning. When Perry refuses to help Kyle one last time, Kyle drags him to the backyard pool and violently holds his head under the water, pushing Perry to the edge.
Meanwhile, Tane, unaware of the danger Perry is in, feels his baby’s first kick with Harper, the mother of his child. Deciding to celebrate together, Tane texts Perry to join them, but gets no response. Concerned, he returns home to a dark, silent house. To his horror, he finds Kyle’s lifeless body floating in the pool, and a traumatized Perry slumped nearby, whispering, “I killed my dad.”
In a post-episode promo, Tane calls the police, bringing Officer Rose Delaney to the scene. But as the police arrive, Perry is nowhere to be found. Tane tries to reach him, but Perry’s phone goes silent, leaving Tane and Rose to wonder about his next move. With the UK’s Home and Away season finale fast approaching on November 15, viewers are left with a cliffhanger as Tane faces police scrutiny over his involvement, and Perry remains on the run. Will Tane face consequences for his loyalty to Perry, and will Perry finally confront his tragic past? This dark, shocking twist has viewers captivated, setting the stage for a dramatic season close.
