Leah Patterson of Home and Away would at last confide in her partner Justin Morgan the following week after having so many nightmares about her experience with Vita Nova that she broke down.
Leah and Justin have been finding it difficult to go back to normal after the horrific cult kidnapping they went through, especially after Justin gets attacked in the hospital.
Scenes from the show, which aired in Australia earlier, will appear on Channel 5 in the UK the following week. In them, Justin confronts his fiancée after learning that she has been studying insomnia and night terrors.
Leah admits that she has been experiencing some tough nights of poor sleep following everything that happened with Vita Nova. Justin pleads with Leah to share her worries with him from now on and she agrees, before the pair part ways to head to work.
After working a long shift, Leah is standing out in the car park when an approaching car sends her mind racing back to the kidnapping incident. Justin quickly emerges from the car and rushes to her side, where Leah admits that since she started having nightmares, she can’t make them stop.
Through tears, Leah finally tells Justin that she might need some help.
The couple unpack Leah’s recent nightmares together and Justin encourages her to trust that he will always have her back.
Leah admits that she has been searching for sleeping tablets because she feels like she’s back in the abandoned factory every time she closes her eyes. A compassionate Justin holds Leah and she manages to fall asleep in his arms.
After Leah successfully sleeps through the entire night, the couple decide to ride the positive momentum and return to planning their wedding. They soon settle on the perfect date for the ceremony – Valentine’s Day.
Will their wedding plans go smoothly, or could their trip to the altar be derailed?
