Home and Away Spoilers: Mac’s IVF Struggles Erupt in Heartbreaking Public Showdown at Salt
Summer Bay turns stormy this week as Mackenzie Booth’s emotional IVF journey takes a devastating turn. What begins as a glimmer of hope soon spirals into heartbreak, ending with a fierce public confrontation that leaves relationships in tatters.
Hope and Heartbreak: The Weight of Nine Follicles
After weeks of tension and invasive treatments, Mac and Levi finally receive long-awaited news from their fertility specialist. This time, there are nine promising follicles — a better outcome than their first round, which ended in crushing disappointment when none of the embryos matured.
Levi can hardly contain his joy. But instead of relief, Mac breaks down in tears. The emotional weight of repeated failure has left her numb to optimism. Through sobs, she admits, “Every time something goes right, I just wait for it to fall apart.”
Levi does his best to reassure her, but his words can’t silence her fear. Mac knows the next step — the trigger injection — will bring days of pain, exhaustion, and spiraling emotions. Despite her bravery, it’s clear she’s nearing her breaking point.
The Breaking Point: Salt Erupts in Chaos
Trying to stay busy, Mac throws herself into work at Salt, determined to keep her emotions in check. But her fragile calm shatters when she and Levi walk straight into a confrontation with Abby, who launches a public attack on Levi, calling him a backstabber.
Already stretched to her emotional limit, Mac snaps. In front of stunned patrons, she unleashes all the frustration she’s been suppressing.
“I know it’s always the Abigail show,” she yells, her voice trembling with anger. “But I am so over it!”
The room falls silent as Abby flees in tears and Levi stands frozen, stunned by Mac’s outburst. What was meant to be a quiet evening turns into on
e of the most explosive scenes in recent Summer Bay history.
Cracks in Love and Loyalty
Mac’s breakdown exposes more than her fertility struggles — it highlights the pressure that’s been building between her and Levi for weeks. Their love, already tested by the emotional toll of IVF, now faces a new strain in the public eye.
Meanwhile, the fallout from the confrontation threatens to spread. With Eden and Cash’s wedding drama still simmering and loyalties divided, the question remains: can any of these couples survive the emotional storms ahead?
What’s Next in Summer Bay
As Mac reels from her outburst, she’ll be forced to confront the guilt and fear driving her behaviour. Levi’s support will be tested as he decides whether to stand by her or walk away.
With nine follicles offering both hope and heartbreak, the days ahead could bring either the miracle Mac’s been praying for — or another devastating loss.
