Excitement is building in Summer Bay as Mackenzie (Emily Weir) and Levi (Tristan Gorey) get closer to welcoming their little one into the world. However, under the surface of all the baby shower planning, fear is taking over. This week, a routine hospital check-up will test Mac’s nerves as she fights the painful memories of her past losses.
While her friends are busy arguing over party decorations, Mackenzie is just praying that her baby is healthy.
Baby Shower Drama: Abby and Eden Clash!
Behind the scenes, Abigail and Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) have taken it upon themselves to throw the ultimate baby shower for Mac. But putting these two in charge might have been a mistake! Instead of smooth planning, the duo is spending more time fighting and arguing over the details than actually getting things done.
Despite the party drama, everyone in town is desperate to celebrate this miracle pregnancy with Mackenzie. But inside the hospital, things are a lot more tense.
A Nervous Wait: Levi Steps Out, Tane Steps In
When the day of the scan arrives, Mack heads to the hospital filled with anxiety. Even though Levi works in the exact same building, a sudden medical emergency catches him off guard. With Levi racing against the clock to make it on time, Tane (Ethan Browne) steps in to support his best friend.
Mackenzie is incredibly grateful to have Tane by her side. After surviving an ectopic pregnancy and a heartbreaking IVF miscarriage in the past, a routine scan is never just “routine” for her.

Speaking to TV WEEK about her character’s fragile state of mind, actress Emily Weir shared the truth about Mac’s fears:
“It has been an incredible gift for both Mack and Levi. However, Mackenzie is scared to fully lean into the celebration of it all, as they have both been through so much to get here.”
Will the Check-Up Bring Good News?
Mackenzie is holding her breath, waiting to hear that beautiful heartbeat. In the world of soaps, a nervous mom and a delayed father usually spell big drama. Will Levi make it into the room before the doctor drops a bombshell, or are Mack’s worst fears about to come true?
Summer Bay fans will have to watch closely this week to see if this scan brings tears of joy or absolute heartbreak.
