Next week on Home and Away, ambition collides with reality as Remy Carter and Sunny’s fledgling record label faces its first real test — and nearly fails spectacularly. The arrival of a mysterious new musician exposes just how fragile their dream really is.

Back on Track Records was supposed to be a fresh start. A tribute. A promise to the past and a gamble on the future. But when dreams are built on grief, hope, and unfinished walls, cracks are inevitable. For Remy and Sunny, the pressure to prove themselves becomes overwhelming — and one wrong move threatens to end everything before it has even begun.

The studio space in Yabbie Creek is still more vision board than business. Recording equipment is yet to arrive from Germany. Cables are missing. The walls echo more than they inspire. Still, Remy and Sunny push forward, determined to honour the memory of Theo Poulos, whose guitar now hangs on the wall as a silent reminder of what was lost — and what this label was meant to be.

When Remy discovers potential talent online, optimism surges. Eddie Shepard, a musician with promise and polish, could be their first official signing. The news electrifies the group, and even Eden is drawn into the excitement as Remy proudly shows her the studio courtyard, bar area, and dart board — imagining what the space could one day become.

For a brief moment, it almost feels real.

Reality crashes back in when Sunny raises the uncomfortable truth: first impressions matter. A half-built studio and missing equipment do not sell a dream — they expose it. In classic Sunny fashion, he overcorrects. A charter boat. Champagne. A performance. A story bigger than the truth.

Sunny’s plan is bold, theatrical, and deeply risky. Eden is recruited to play the role of a satisfied client. Appearances are everything. Credibility must be manufactured.

But fate intervenes.

The following morning, Sunny’s attention is pulled elsewhere. A phone call from Leah Patterson interrupts his focus, exposing just how dependent she has become on him in the aftermath of Theo’s death. Torn between loyalty and responsibility, Sunny diverts to help Leah and Justin — leaving Remy alone to face the most important meeting of his life.

In Yabbie Creek, Eddie arrives in a sleek Swiss car provided by Back on Track Records. The image screams success. The reality inside does not.

Without Sunny’s charm to smooth the edges, the unfinished studio speaks for itself. Missing equipment. Vague answers. Nervous energy. Remy grows increasingly uncomfortable as the illusion crumbles. When Sunny finally arrives, it is already too late to execute the grand plan.

Worse still, Sunny doubles down.

He boasts. He exaggerates. He claims Remy’s work on Kirby’s album is already gaining traction in the US. The lie hangs heavy in the air — and Remy cannot carry it.

In a moment of raw integrity, Remy cuts in.

He tells the truth.

Back on Track Records is brand new. Eddie would be the first signing. The studio is unfinished. The dream is real — but fragile.

Eddie is furious. Feeling misled, manipulated, and embarrassed, he storms out. The rejection lands like a physical blow. Everything Remy has built — everything he hoped to honour — seems to collapse in seconds.

But Sunny refuses to let it end there.

Outside on the pavement, he takes full responsibility. No excuses. No deflection. The lie was his. The pressure was his. None of it was Remy’s doing.

Sunny’s final pitch is not flashy — it is personal. He tells Eddie the truth about Remy’s loyalty. About his refusal to abandon the people he believes in. About why he wanted Eddie to be the one who launched this business with him.

That loyalty, Sunny insists, is not a weakness. It is the reason this label exists.

And surely, it has to mean something.

Fans are already split. Some praise Remy’s honesty as the foundation of something real. Others question whether Sunny’s instinct to exaggerate has already poisoned the well. Online discussion buzzes with speculation over whether Eddie will return — or whether this failure will derail Back on Track Records before it ever recovers.

Theories swirl. Redemption arc or devastating collapse?

As Eddie walks away, nothing is decided. The future of the label hangs in limbo, balanced between truth and trust. One thing is certain: dreams in Summer Bay do not fail quietly. And if this gamble does not pay off, the emotional cost may be far greater than anyone expected.

Did Remy’s brutal honesty save Back on Track Records — or has Sunny’s lie already destroyed the one chance they had to make the dream real?
