Terese is amazed at the amount of preparation that has gone into her party. Xanthe says it was all her idea. Paige comes over and tells Terese urgently that she "knows what happened with Paul" at her office. Terese looks shocked.

GARY: What happened with Paul?
TERESE: ...
PAIGE: He helped out with the investment drama! Mr Udagawa's back on the board!
TERESE: Oh, yeah! Right, that!
PAIGE:(confused) Yes, that!

Gary calls for a toast to Terese who looks like she wants to sink through the floor.

Steph and Leo aren't very pleased with Lassiter's getting the Gordon Foods contract. Paul says there's no point stressing over it.

Steph heads off to Terese's engagement party, which is news to Paul.

When Steph has gone, Leo asks Paul if he's alright. He smiles smugly and tells Leo that he and Terese have slept together.

LEO: When?
PAUL: Just now.
LEO: You think she's going to leave him for you, after one afternoon?
PAUL: What Terese and I have goes a lot further back than just one afternoon.

He clinks his glass against Leo.

The party is continuing. Xanthe is fed up of Karl going on about durians. Toadie tells her to ignore him.

TERESE: I need to tell you...(she changes her mind)...my...my tumour's shrunk.
GARY: What? Oh, Terese!

He hugs her.

(Later)

It's dark now and the party is still going on. Gary gives a speech.

GARY: Look everyone. I just want to say a few words, and let's face it, it's only gonna be a few because I'm not Karl Kennedy when he gets an idea stuck in his head.

Everyone except Karl laughs.

KARL: You can laugh now, but when you're reaping the benefits of communal composting...
GARY: Uh...yeah, I just want to thank you all for turning up to help us to celebrate. Things in life haven't always gone my way but then I met Terese.

He beckons her over.

GARY: As soon as I met you, I just knew everything felt right for once in my life. You make me look forward to getting up in the morning and I want to spend the rest of our days together makng sure that I make you feel the same way too. And now, it looks like I'm going to get the chance, thanks to the amazing team of oncologists we have at the Erinsborough Hospital and her brother, Nick. Terese is finally beating the cancer! So everybody, here is to my fiancee! The bravest, strongest and most beautiful woman I've ever met! Terese!
EVERYONE: Terese!

Terese looks even more awkward.

Paul and Leo are still hanging out. Leo thinks stealing Terese from Gary is a bit rough, but he kind of hopes things work out for Paul anyway.

LEO: Guys like us don't tend to get the girl. We find a way to screw it up, so...you're a lucky guy.
PAUL: Yeah, I am.

Terese comes in. Paul greets her happily and tries to hug her, but she doesn't want to.

TERESE: I can't. I can't be with you.

Paul looks gutted.

PAUL: Terese, I love you and I know that you love me, so why would you deny that, come on!
TERESE: Paul...Paul, it wouldn't work.
PAUL: No, no, no, no. I told you I'm not going to hurt you, so just let me prove that to you, please...
TERESE: It's not about that. I have a man at home who loves me!
PAUL: Gary? Gary's not worthy of you! He's not on your level! I mean, why would you even betray him?
TERESE: Because I was confused! And...and you were there.

Paul looks aghast.

TERESE: Um...look, I'll always be grateful for your support. But I want to be with Gary.
PAUL: So you're settling for somebody who's not right for you because you're afraid.
TERESE: Don't put words in my mouth.
PAUL: Terese, don't make the wrong choice.
TERESE: You're not hearing me, Paul. Just listen to me. I've chosen Gary and not you. I know I'm beyond asking for favours at this point, but Gary can't know. It would hurt him and our families too much. So just let me go, please. I'm sorry.

She walks out leaving Paul just standing there in shock.

Steph tells Paige that Lucas is bringing Adam for a visit tomorrow. She invites Paige, Jack and Gabe to join them for a picnic. They talk about the Gordon Foods contract and Paige casually tells her that Paul tipped Terese off. Steph can't believe it.

In the garden room, Susan comes to see Terese who is looking a bit overwhelmed.

TERESE: Sometimes when I see him [Paul] I get a bit confused.
SUSAN: Well, I know that Paul and Gary have been rivals for you for some time, but you've made your choice now, haven't you?
TERESE: What if it's the wrong choice?
SUSAN: No. You chose a man who loves you unconditionally. Who has no agenda and who makes you feel safe. It's only natural, you're about to commit to someone. Of course you're going to get the jitters.
TERESE: Do you think that's what this is?
SUSAN: Doesn't really matter what I think. It's what you think that matters.
TERESE: Thanks.

They are interrupted by Gary who sits down with Terese.

TERESE: Hey. I love you, Gary. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

They kiss.

Yashvi is going through Ben's laptop looking for dirt on his exes. She finds *that* photo of Ben naked. The horrible girl from school (Freya) arrives (letting herself in!) to check up on Yashvi and says she's going to tell the whole school that Ben isn't her boyfriend. In desperation, Yashvi shows her the naked photo of Ben. She buys it, but looks like this is going to lead to a lot more trouble for Yashvi!
