Tane is stabbed in shocking scenes

 

Tane (Ethan Browne) has been doing his best to let Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) and Mac (Emily Weir) enjoy their relationship without struggling due to his moods for her. When Mac moves into the Parata household, he appeals opposite shifts so they aren’t forced to live and work together in close proximity. Mac accepts his request, but is concerned by their fractured relationship and does her best to fix it. Although her bond with Ari strengthens, Tane’s brother is left wondering why he is absent so often – doubting he is up to no good. Unfortunately, just as Tane begins feeling more settled in his life, two men from his dodgy past show up in the Bay. Although he makes it clear he’s not interested in speaking and asks them to leave, they tell him they have a job for him.
