Home and Away's Mackenzie sparks concern in death aftermath
Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian-pace episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.
Home and Away's Mackenzie Booth faced unwelcome interference over her personal life in Wednesday's Australian episode (May 3) after seeking an escape from her grief.
Mac has developed a connection with Summer Bay newcomer Kahu Parata, who's the troublesome cousin of Tane.
The show's latest episode on Australia's Channel 7 saw Mac invite Kahu back to her place in the middle of the day.

With the chemistry between them heating up, Mac and Kahu rushed off to the bedroom together. Both agreed that, while they were having fun, it didn't mean anything.
Later, Tane, Felicity Newman and Mali Hudson all put two and two together after Mac and Kahu had both mysteriously disappeared at the same time.
Realising that Mac had slept with Kahu, the trio worried that it was too soon after the tragic loss of Gabe Miller.
Last week, Mac received a phone call informing her that Gabe had passed away. Mac felt conflicting emotions as Gabe had walked out on her in the middle of his cancer treatment.

Sensing that Mac was vulnerable, Tane warned Kahu not to mess her around at such a difficult time.
Meanwhile, Mac had tense conversations with both Felicity and Mali when they expressed concern over her casual hook-up. While Felicity and Mali's worries came from a good place, Mac felt they were overstepping the mark by policing her personal life.
The final straw for Mac came when she sought out Kahu to invite him back to her place again and received a well-meaning rejection.
Mac suggested: "Being the boss, I could probably swing the morning off work if you wanted some company."

Kahu said: "Look, yesterday was fun, but I keep being reminded that you're going through a tough time. And you said yourself that it didn't mean anything, so I think we should just be friends."
Will Mac accept Kahu's decision or warn her friends to back off?
