Trouble looms over Mackenzie Booth and Levi Fowler’s new relationship now the couple have gone official following their affair.
In Home and Away scenes airing in the UK next week, Mackenzie will be hurt to find out Levi is still in contact with his wife Imogen without telling her.
It seemed their romance was going strong and steady as the approval for Levi’s cardio unit at Northern Districts Hospital comes through.
While they’re celebrating at dinner, Levi is forced to cover when he receives angry messages from Imogen. When he steps away from the table to call her back, Mackenzie’s wary. She’s so suspicious that she checks his phone while he sleeps, and she’s devastated to see his recent calls with Imogen.
The next day, Mac doesn’t trust Levi to be alone without her and goes with him when he heads home to pick up a “delivery”.
Once there, they find out Imogen has sent everything Levi owns together with her wedding and engagement rings alongside a bitter note addressed to Mackenzie, which reads: “Take the rest of my hand-me-downs. You’ve taken everything else”.
Mackenzie is upset after receiving Imogen’s wedding jewellery. She pleads with Levi to explain, asking what could have led Imogen to send that note and how she knew where they lived. Levi has an inkling and confronts his sister Eden, telling her to back off and stop meddling.
Wanting to get rid of Imogen’s rings, Mackenzie turns up at Eden’s, asking her to return the jewels.
Eden refuses, reminding Mackenzie that Imogen’s not the bad guy and they need to stop baiting her. Mac demands some explanations, leading Eden to reveal more about Levi’s recent chat with Imogen. Eden, who resents her brother for cheating on his wife like their dad did with their mum, is delighted that Levi is keeping secrets from Mac already.
When Mac faces Levi later, she admits to having gone through his phone. She asks him how often he is contacting his wife and why he is lying about it.
He claims he was protecting her, but she’s unhappy about being lied to, and Levi doesn’t appreciate Mac’s mistrust. Is the end near for the budding couple already?
