For seven long weeks, Sonny has been stuck on the couch recovering, with his partner watching his every move. On the surface, it looks like a couple simply working through a rough patch. But underneath, Sonny is hiding something far more serious — a growing debt to a drug dealer, and a habit he can’t shake.

It starts small. Sonny quietly asks for a loan, insisting he’ll pay it back “in a couple of months.” He brushes off questions about why he owes money, deflecting with half-truths about a mate named Remy. When his partner offers to step in and sort things out directly with Remy, Sonny panics and shuts the idea down fast. He doesn’t want anyone digging deeper into what’s really going on.
Meanwhile, life in the Bay rolls on around him. There’s baby Archie being passed between doting family members, a housemate situation with Harper stirring up questions, and a sweet but tense subplot about Levi and Mac navigating trust issues in their long-distance relationship. When Mac disappears for a few minutes without texting back, Levi’s panic reveals just how deep his fear of losing her runs — and it pushes the couple to consider downloading a location-tracking app to ease his anxiety. Not everyone is convinced it’s a healthy idea, and the debate ripples out to their friends, with mixed opinions on whether tracking a partner is romantic reassurance or a red flag.

But it’s Sonny’s story that carries the real tension. When he goes back to his dealer for another batch, he’s turned away. No more credit. No more trust. It’s money up front, or nothing at all. Desperate and out of options, Sonny sits down with Remy for what looks like a peace-making drink — beer or whiskey, the choice barely matters. Old wounds are picked at. Remy asks the question everyone’s been avoiding: is Sonny still using?
Just when it seems like Sonny might be ready to come clean, the conversation takes a darker turn. Someone at the table drops a plan on the table — skim a wealthy friend’s credit card, starting with ten thousand dollars, no one will even notice. And suddenly, Sonny isn’t just a guy hiding a habit anymore. He’s being pulled into something that could destroy everything he has left.
Will Sonny take the money and dig himself in deeper, or is this the moment he finally asks for real help? One thing’s for sure — Summer Bay’s golden couple image is about to crack wide open.

Stay tuned — next episode could reveal whether Sonny takes the money, and whether his secret finally catches up with him.
