Next week on UK television, Dean Thompson from Home and Away will be questioned by the police when Bree Cameron makes a mistaken assumption about his relationship with Ziggy Astoni.
When a visit to the hospital with Ziggy has an unexpected result, Dean is left with some unsettling assumptions.
In upcoming episodes of Channel 5, Ziggy will be transported to the hospital after falling down the stairs at the neighbourhood diner Salt.
Bree takes care of getting Ziggy and their unborn child checked out as Dean worries about their health.
Later tests reveal that both Ziggy and the infant will be alright. Bree, however, sees the tense interaction between them as something more sinister because Dean and Ziggy are obviously both frightened about the circumstance.
Bree notices that Ziggy has bruises on her leg and begins covertly probing Ziggy about her upbringing.
Bree reports Dean to the police for domestic violence out of fear that he might be abusing Ziggy.
When police officer Cash Newman shows up to the hospital to look into Bree’s false accusations against Dean, Ziggy is shocked.
In an effort to comfort a distressed Ziggy in her hospital room, Dean tries to push by Cash. As a result, Cash is compelled to take Dean to the police station in order to defuse the situation.
Both Ziggy and Mackenzie Booth attempt to persuade Bree that she is mistaken. Bree argues in favour of her position by saying Dean came out as forceful and dominating around Ziggy.
Bree even speculates that Dean may have purposefully shoved Ziggy down the Salt steps. Ziggy finally has enough and ejects Bree while demanding a different physician.
At the police station, Cash questions Dean before letting him leave with a warning that he can’t visit Ziggy until the investigation is finished.
Later, as Dean catches up with Mack outside the Surf Club, Bree overhears his apparent concern about Ziggy. She begins to comprehend that she made a big error.
Bree realises that she has unintentionally projected her own tragic experience into Ziggy and Dean’s relationship with the help of her friend and potential love interest Remi Carter. Jacob, Bree’s spouse, has abused her over the course of their union.
Bree considers this and goes to Cash to inform him that she was mistaken about Dean and to explain why.
Bree informs Cash that she wants to file a domestic abuse complaint against Jacob. She appreciates Cash’s support when he pledges to file an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) against Jacob, barring him from contacting her.
Later, Remi intervenes to clarify why Bree was so mistaken while Dean is still fuming over having to spend the night apart from Ziggy. Can Dean, Ziggy, and Bree put this misunderstanding behind them?
