Can Haz support Mackenzie in the right way?
FOR WEEK COMMENCING 5TH FEBRUARY
In the wake of David’s death, Ramsay Street residents react and rally to help and whilst Nicolette busies herself to avoid falling apart, Aaron simmers quietly. When Wendy says that David died a hero, Aaron says that there was nothing heroic about David choosing to leave their family.
Later, Aaron opens up to Mackenzie who is also grappling with her resurfacing grief over Hendrix. Furious that David chose to save Eden’s life over staying with him and Isla, Aaron would rather David had to grapple with guilt and be alive than have absolution and be dead.
When Mackenzie reveals that she felt a similar anger when grieving Hendrix, Aaron expresses the impossibility of doing life without his husband and Mackenzie can only cry with him.
As Haz struggles to keep Mackenzie’s mind off Hendrix and David, he finds himself making mistakes at every turn. He accidentally makes Mackenzie hash browns - Hendrix’s trademark, proposes a zombie movie marathon - Hendrix and Mackenzie’s shared interest, and then takes her to Lassiters Lake - where Hendrix's ashes were scattered.
But when Haz finally comes clean about his missteps and his concern that he’s intruding on something private, Mackenzie assures him that she hasn’t been reading Haz’s actions in that light at all. And when she tells him that she's very happy to finally share her Hendrix memories with someone, Haz assures her he’s happy to do that too, and the couple reconnects.
