Haz is currently taking centre stage in a big storyline focusing on deep fakes and hacking.
The businessman recently came clean to Mackenzie about his shady past in IT, which saw him and his associates accept money in return for creating damaging deep fakes which featured innocent members of the public.
Wade Fernsby, one of the people cruelly targeted at the time, now appears to be taking revenge by giving Haz's loved ones the same treatment.
Upcoming episodes see Haz coerced into working alongside Wade, which culminates in a dramatic chase and Haz being hit by a car.

How will Amira feel when she finds Haz in hospital and finds out about his recent behaviour? And will Haz make a full recovery from the accident?
Neighbours announced the character of Amira in December last year.
Writing in an Instagram post, the show commented: "We're delighted to announce that Maria Thattil will be joining the cast next year in the guest role of Haz's big sister! But just why she turns up suddenly at Harold's is yet to be revealed."

Maria Thattil said at the time: "I couldn’t be more proud to join the beautiful Neighbours cast at a time when the show is evolving to tell even more Australian stories.
"Imagining 10 year old me turning on the telly to see herself is pretty surreal … even more so because I can't remember ever seeing a gay female South Asian character on an Australian TV show. Can you?
"Grateful to @neighbours & @channel10au for the honour of being authentic representation of what we've been missing. And to do it with a bang. See you in 2024!"
Neighbours airs these scenes on Tuesday, May 21.
Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach.
