This week in Neighbours, people are approaching their breaking point, with dramatic effects.
The first is Leo (Tim Kano), who decides he is unfit to be a parent to his child. He entrusts her to two individuals he believes can raise her better than he could, but is he making a grave error?
The mystery around Freya develops, but Roxy (Zima Anderson) isn’t ready to give up yet. She’ll go to any length to protect her companion Levi (Richie Morris), even if it means jeopardizing her own freedom.
Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) is teetering on the edge of total self-destruction when he’s unable to keep up with his own lies. David (Takaya Honda) catches him out, which leaves Paul in a dire situation. How far will he go to protect his reunion with Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou)? One thing’s for sure, David should sleep with one eye open. He might be Paul’s son, but Paul does not forgive betrayal.
Amy (Jacinta Stapleton) is done with trying to work so hard to keep her head above water but when she hits a huge setback, she realizes her friends have left her and she’s all alone. Will she be able to pull herself back from the brink?
And Zara is fed up with life and decides to take it out on Jane (Annie Jones). As Zara sinks to new levels of mean, where will her disruptive behavior take her next?
Here’s what’s ahead in Neighbours.
Amy’s luck changes
Amy is struggling to get her food truck off the ground and in her time of need, her friends have done a bunk. Even Ned isn’t rushing to be at her side. She’s still recovering from her injury and her debt is spiraling, things are not looking good. But just as she starts to give up hope, she gets a ray of light – an unexpected gift is just what she needs. Now she can get her business up and running, and The Drinks Diva can get on the road.
Leo walks away from baby Abigail
Leo takes his decision: he will no longer be Abigail’s parent. He believes he is unfit to be a father and that leaving her with him will endanger her. The poor child is ready to be abandoned by his parents. Aaron half-wishes it to be true because he can feel himself getting closer to the kid. David is confident it’s merely a hasty decision he’ll regret later. He’s afraid, as David predicts, that Leo would alter his mind and take Abigail away from him, causing him further pain. Leo is shutting down and refusing to accept any outside assistance. What will become of Abby?
Zara’s behavior deteriorates.
There is no stopping this girl, her claws are out and they’re not going back in. Jane is not amused and comes down on her hard, which only fans the flames. Determined to get revenge, Zara shares some gossip about Jane and the school kids eat it up like it’s candy.
Added to that, Aubrey and Sadie decide to pull a prank on Jane. While at first, this plays right into Zara’s hands, things backfire when she gets the blame. She doesn’t want to do her friends in, but what will happen to her if she takes the rap for this?
David in danger over Paul discovery
Paul’s falsehoods are sharpening their teeth and preparing to bite him in the behind. He believes his lies were a complete success, and he basks in the glory of his family’s well-wishes for him and Terese on their second opportunity. However, he has failed to account for Karl and David, who are both skeptical of his mysterious condition. David, for one, cannot let sleeping dogs lie and is on a mission to discover the truth, but he has no idea that the problems he may cause will drive Paul to act in desperation. David requests that his father have scans to confirm his diagnosis in order to find the truth about Dr. Russell. Something is amiss with Paul since he is so evasive.
Roxy risks jail time
Roxy is determined to play super sleuth and invites Freya on a girl’s day. Freya seemingly has no clue there are ulterior motives, although Roxy bombarding her with questions is a bit of one. Freya is frosty and clams up over receiving the third degree, which only spurs Roxy on. For her, this is confirmation Freya’s hiding something and knowing she won’t get anything from the horse’s mouth, Roxy decides to go all ninja and break into Freya’s house instead. Unfortunately for Roxy, she’s not accustomed to breaking and entering, and no sooner than she gets into the dwelling does she get caught red-handed. Freya is not amused and it’s Levi who gets the brunt of it. He’s left reeling when she pulls away from him, so he invites her on a date. Is he asking for trouble? And where will Roxy be left after her crime?
Paul is caught
Paul’s lies are unraveling fast. Terese knows the truth now, how he’s lied just to get her back. She is absolutely fuming, and any thought of reconciliation is done for. Paul’s entire family turns their back on him and he is left to clean up his own mess alone.
As Roxy draws closer to the truth, Levi’s interest in the mysterious Freya grows stronger by the second, and he determines to go all out to win her over. While he is aware of it, she does not appear to be. In reality, nothing about her is clear, except that she’s lying to him and using him to gain access to police systems.
Roxy is becoming increasingly concerned about her friend’s well-being. She decides to seek the truth in Freya’s homeland of Benalla and enlists the help of Harlow and Ned. Roxy is left clutching at straws as the route gets colder. Will she be able to track down the information she requires to bring Freya down?
