Hospital
"I thought you hated me," Felix comments to Wendy but she points out that it isn't about her, she is here to see him… the stabbed one! She hopes that this incident could be a way for the brothers to reconnect, which is why she is there - to see if he is open to a visit. "Of course I'd like to see him," Felix replies but isn't sure he has any chances left to allow that to happen.
Meanwhile Remi finishes her shift and spots Wendy chatting to Felix on the way out.
The Waterhole
The K's and Toadie are relaxing after a long day by having supper out when they spot Terese entering the bar. They invite her to de- stress with them, but she wants a takeaway so she can work on some fitness plan - this annoys the K's as it was supposed to be a collaborative one but she cites it's just her getting a "head start" on it.
Penthouse suite
When Paul arrives home, rather than get into another disagreement with Krista, he shocks her by instead apologising! He then drops in that Terese reminded him of Krista's "good instincts" and that "not everyone likes to go head- to- head" with him, like Terese did.
Even though he heads for his study, Paul inadvertently overhears Krista tell Leo that she is tempted to do a little 'match making' despite Leo pointing out that Terese has just lost Toadie and sparing with Paul is her way of "trying to feel better."
Harolds café
Aaron is encouraging Nicolette to talk about her break up with Kiri (the lack of the usual break up routines is confusing him!) but their chat is sidelined when Isla accidentally knocks over a glass of green stuff. Unfortunately this goes all over Nicolette's phone which was lying on the table and it's Haz to the rescue to see if anything got inside the phone. Apparently Nicolette doesn't back up to the cloud so is fearful that photos of David might be lost.
Number 32
Holly has got hold of a number of wedding dresses for Mackenzie to choose from at home rather than going to a shop.
The Waterhole
Spotting the VM's and JJ in the bar has saved Andrew a trip to #30, he wanted to check in to see how they are all doing. JJ reveals he has been to see Felix but couldn't go in to see him and Andrew thinks the lad did good by listening to his instincts, as they protected him. Andrew also adds that all the family are going to give Felix a wide berth too. From the look on Remi's face, Andrew can tell something is up and says to him that "there's something you should probably know."
Hospital
Just as Wendy and Felix are talking about why he ended up in hospital, she spots Andrew through the window. She can sense he's in a mood and leaves Felix's bedside to go talk to Andrew in the corridor.
Andrew is well peeved she broke their agreement not to see Felix but Wendy's comeback is that he was the one saying not to visit! She really wants Andrew to take the chance and put things right with Felix so he doesn't have any regrets. Andrew doesn't… because he didn't do anything wrong.
ANDREW: We both know that he's gonna say the right words, and he's gonna say that he's changed and we're gonna believe him all the way up until he screws us again.
Wendy agrees she thought the same until she spoke with Felix and realised that "he's different." Andrew doesn't think so, its simply "an act" but the fact he's "in far too much pain" is enough for Wendy to be convinced that isn't the case. Wendy leaves the decision up to Andrew whether he goes to speak to Felix or not, but reassures him that either way, she will be there to support him.
Number 32
Mackenzie has been through all the dresses but hasn't found the "the one." Holly suggests looking online and if everyone were to chip in, the dress budget could increase. Mackenzie agrees and picks up her phone to show Holly her dream dress even if it is very much out of her budget!
Hospital
Before 'talks' commence, Felix makes it clear he doesn't want anything from Andrew… or JJ, still sticking with the 'I'm no good for him' mantra. With the 'rules' declared, Andrew wants to know how Felix ended up in hospital and we hear that a "couple of clowns decided to kick off in the gym" and even though he's ended up in hospital, Felix believes it was the right thing to do. "Rest up mate, it'll be good for your recovery," is Andrew's final words before he heads back outside to the corridor where Wendy is waiting.
Wendy asks how it went and his initial reply is "he's still Felix," before then adding that "something's different." Andrew still isn't sure if he did the right thing, despite Wendy saying he did. Regardless of the issues the pair are going through just now, Wendy makes it clear that she is firmly in his corner and wants to be part of "Team Rodwell."
Lassiters Complex
The K's try to do a runner after spotting Terese in the complex but they are caught! She wants to discuss the fitness project with them but they'd rather get home to enjoy the dessert they've just purchased from Harolds!
Number 32
Toadie is very impressed with Mackenzie's resignation letter that he drops by to compliment her! He praises her hard work and talent for this opportunity in Paris that she's got. Even though Mackenzie was tempted to stay in her Erinsborough bubble forever, getting the job has made her realise how much of a fresh start she badly needed.
Lassiters Complex (next day)
Terese is going full pelt [again] through the complex when she is accosted by Paul. He points out that this is a regular thing she appears to be doing and tempts her with a coffee into breaking her routine to chat with him. Reluctantly she accepts the coffee and grants him 10 minutes of her time!
Meanwhile it's good news for Nicolette, Haz has done his magic and saved what was on her phone. He's transferring what was on there to a hard drive so she can get her phone serviced before he puts the stuff back on it.
Lassiters Park
As they walk through the park, Paul has Terese sussed on how she is really doing - from being the workaholic to going on to micromanaging everyone. Terese comments that the K's think micromanaging "is already well underway!"
Unseen by them, Toadie appears seconds after they've walked past him. He just stops to think and then heads off in the opposite direction.
Lassiters Complex
Mackenzie is trying to convince Haz that they should have a vintage themed wedding but that is out the window when Holly arrives with a dress bag - it contains the dream wedding dress Mackenzie wanted! Holly isn't saying how she got it, other than "magic" and even better it's a gift! Mackenzie doesn't want to accept the dress but Holly eventually wears her down into accepting it.
Eirini Rising (outdoor café)
The K's, Susan especially, is loading up with coffee ready to deal with Terese! It isn't long before Terese arrives and declares she's had "an epiphany" about herself and acknowledges she's been "a nightmare!" The K's play innocent over her behaviour but are glad over whatever has helped Terese "bounce back." Terese reveals that it was Paul who helped her and confesses that he seems to know her better than herself.
After Terese leaves them, Susan is weighing up the evidence - flowers and now long walks…
Lassiters Complex
Andrew is giving Remi, Cara, JJ and Wendy an update on Felix - he's improving enough that he will soon be moved back to the prison hospital. He confirms to JJ that yes, he has spoken to his brother. The 'mini summit' is paused when Andrew gets a work text message - turns out it's the warden's report into the incident at the prison and "Felix comes off as quite the hero" he says to everyone. Apparently it wasn't just another prisoner he stopped from getting stabbed but guards too, the later bit only came out in the report.
Hospital
Felix is now up and about and is telling someone that after a visit from the Head Warden, he's being considered for early release for his role in what happened during the incident. Eventually we see who it is Felix is talking to - Wade.
Sonya's wall
Mackenzie is telling the K's about her wedding dress when they come across Toadie sitting on a bench underneath the mural. He's taken to heart Mackenzie's fresh start in Paris and she asks if he's thinking about leaving? Toadie's reply is very non- committal, replying "if that's your way of retracting my wedding invitation, it's too late because I've already bought your present" before walking off leaving the trio somewhat confused.
SUSAN: Not exactly a no, was it?
Harolds café
Haz asks Aaron to keep an eye on his computer (still sorting out Nicolette's phone) while he makes a "green juice" for Isla.
Aaron spots the file with his name on it and when he opens it, he reads all that was on the 'hit list' of the things he has 'wrongly' done. He's so focused on reading that he doesn't notice Isla and Nicolette enter the café looking for their drinks.
Given he's looking at Haz's computer screen, Nicolette wonders if something has gone wrong with the transfer and he shakes his head saying "no, it didn't."
AARON: It's all here, ever little detail.
Aaron then turns the laptop around to show Nicolette exactly what he was reading!
Coming up on Neighbours
