Next week on Home and Away in the UK, the arrival of Mali’s ex-girlfriend threatens his future with Rose – why has he never mentioned this “promised wife”?
When his “Magic Mali” video goes viral the next week, Mali (Kyle Shilling) fears he might have gotten himself into a sticky situation with girlfriend Rose (Kirsty Marillier). However, that will be the least of his worries when he later receives a surprise guest.
Xander (Luke Van Os), who was left in charge of Salt alone last week, had to throw a last-minute hen’s party after discovering he had overlooked an email from Mackenzie (Emily Weir).
Ally (Zoe Ioannou), the maid of honour, felt let down by the “corporate nightmare” that Xander had put together, and since he had ordered a lot of items that he had neglected to deliver, it appeared that Xander would have to give a refund.
That was until Mali stepped in however. All it took was a few cringeworthy smooth moves to sweep the bride off her feet and get the party started, and all was soon forgiven.
The next day Ali was quick to send good feedback to Mac, who was surprised to hear about ‘Magic Mali’, and Mali knew he wouldn’t live it down. He asked Xander to keep it a secret from Rose, but with all the hens’ filming, it was only going to be a matter of time…
As expected, the footage appears online the next week. Mali worries that they won’t have time to take it down before Rose notices it, but Xander is more focused on trying to talk Mali into doing it again because he’s received other requests for bookings!
After a hectic few days, Mali and Rose finally hook up, and he tells Rose that things have been very uninteresting. She asks what he’s been up to. He simply gets himself into further trouble because he doesn’t understand Rose has already watched the footage.
Rose teases him that he can only remain at her apartment tonight if he does “the dance,” showing him the video on her phone, after finally realising that Mali isn’t going to grow a pair anytime soon.
Mali’s relieved that Rose has taken it in good humour, but she’s not the only person he knows who’s seen the video…
The next day, Mali is stunned when ex-girlfriend Zara Campbell (Matilda Brown) walks into the surf club!
Mali and Zara grew up together in Mantaray Point, and Zara is still close to Mali’s family, who Zara thought would have warned him that she was coming.
Zara explains that she just wanted to check out his new shop, and as she asks her old friend for a hug, Xander sees them and wonders what is going on.
But it doesn’t take long to realise that the two are more than simply lovers. Zara loudly declares that she is Mali’s promised wife as Mali tries to introduce her to Xander informally.
Later, Mali makes an attempt to clarify to Xander that, despite the fact that some of the tribes back home still adhere to the idea of arranged weddings, his own community is not one of them, and that his being “promised” to Zara was only an ongoing joke that their moms would torture them with.
Xander finds it difficult to understand, especially after Mali acknowledges that there are still individuals who wish for the two to reconcile.
But the most pressing concern is how Rose will respond to the news.especially when Zara says she intends to stay at Mali’s house…
