The regular credits are cut for a sparkling version of the Neighbours title card.

Lassiter's Complex
We're taken on a sweeping tour of the complex which has been completely decked out in 90s themed decoration. Four tellytubbies remove their heads to reveal Toadie, Stonefish, Stu and Lance! Toadie introduces his friends to each other who remind him they've coordinated costumes beforehand! Paige, dressed as Posh Spice, invites the group into the hotel, where they are welcomed by Terese, dressed as Xena! We're also rapidly introduced to Leo (Neo), Shane (Ace Ventura) and Steph (Madonna). Terese makes a brief speech welcoming the guests whilst Piper watches on from the courtyard in tears.

No. 24
Tyler insists to Mark (dressed as the 8th Doctor Who) and Aaron (Baywatch lifeguard) that they're going to attend Toadie's party and enjoy it. They set off as Piper cuddles with Tyler in his chair. Tyler worries about prison and Piper suggests that they skip the party for the night instead.

Ramsay Street
Karl (Prince Charles) and Susan (Camilla) bicker as they head to the party. Piper gives Xanthe and Ben her and Tyler's costumes and tells Xanthe that they've booked a romantic night in the city. Piper gives her a tight hug and tearfully says how much she loves her, leaving Xanthe looking concerned.

The Waterhole
The party is in full swing, and Sheila is showing off her dance moves, dressed as Austin Powers, to Karl and Susan. Amy (Rachel from 'Friends') gets excited that Leo has just referred to Paul as 'Dad'. Paul appears not to be in costume - only to reveal he's come as himself in the 90s! Elsewhere Susan is panicking to Karl as she has received a phonecall saying their retirement fund has been emptied. Karl confesses that he's donated it to the hospital wing, and Susan is understandably furious! Paige leaves Jack to look after Gabe, and is joined by Mark.

Hotel Lindrum
Tyler stares out of a hotel window in the centre of Melbourne. Piper tells Tyler to stop with the doom and gloom, but he reminds her that he's going to prison regardless of the verdict, and will have to face Banks.

PIPER: Unless there's another option? There's a reason why I brought you here away from everyone. I have a plan. We never go back. We run.

Lassiter's Complex
Xanthe (Britney Spears) and Ben (Justin Timberlake) have arrived at the party and Xanthe expresses her concerns about how Piper was acting oddly. Elsewhere Lance encourages Stu to pick up his phone, but when he sees who's calling, he says to keep quiet or else it will ruin Toadie's night. Susan storms past, still furious with Karl, and gets into the car to leave. She sets off rapidly, and drives into a pedestrian who has just crossed her path. The partygoer, dressed as Geri Halliwell, has lost her wig and has been knocked down... and it's none other than Izzy Hoyland!

Later, an ambulance has arrived and Karl dashes to Izzy's side in shock at what has happened.

IZZY: I was on my way to the party, and Susan, she came out of nowhere and ran me over...
SUSAN: It was an accident.

Karl offers to ride in the back of the ambulance with Izzy and Susan looks suitably aghast!

Yarra River
On the river bank, Piper cries as she thinks about Tyler's fate in prison. Tyler reminds Piper that Aaron and Mark have put up $200,000 for his bail and they'll lose the money if they go on the run. Piper insists that they'll pay them back eventually.

TYLER: Our family... our friends. It could be years before we get to see them again, okay, if ever! Can you cope with that?
PIPER: Yes.
TYLER: Your mum, gone. Xanthe, gone. My brothers.
PIPER: But Ty, we'll have each other and you'll be safe. And that's more important, isn't it?
TYLER: I don't know. I just don't know.

Erinsborough Hospital
Karl and Susan have accompanied Izzy to her hospital room as David checks her over.

SUSAN: I'll admit I was a bit distracted, but this was an accident.
IZZY: Of course it was! I'll just say that I came out of nowhere.
SUSAN: You did.
IZZY: I'll say I wasn't looking.
SUSAN: Because you weren't!
KARL: Susan's a very careful driver... normally.

Susan leaves to speak to the police and take a breathalyser test whilst Izzy calls Karl her 'Prince Charming'.

The Waterhole
Kev Rebecchi has arrived dressed as Liam Gallagher, and Angie is dressed as... well, no one knows! They've gained an audience as they claim that they saw the whole car incident from the mezzanine but Aaron doesn't know who Izzy is.

PAUL: Oh for heaven's sakes! She destroyed Karl and Susan's marriage amongst other things. Who knows, she might be back to do it all over again!

Erinsborough Hospital
Karl asks Susan in the corridor if the incident really was an accident and Susan is horrified that he could even imply such a thing! He encourages Susan to apologise, and she reluctantly does so. Izzy is quick to forgive and explains that she's staying in a hotel in Erinsborough to visit with Holly. Speaking of whom, Holly enters and surprises Karl and Susan, and Izzy is happy to see everyone reunited.

Lassiter's Complex
Leo tells David (dressed as Forrest Gump) about calling Paul 'Dad', and jokes that David is now under pressure to do the same. Lance continues to tell Stu to call his mystery woman back and tell her 'no', but the pair are interrupted by Steph and the Rebecchi brothers for the speeches. Meanwhile Paige receives a photo of Jack and Gabe at the rotunda and walks over to join them. She stops in her tracks at the sight of them together.

The Waterhole
A mystery man stares ominously at photos of Ramsay Street residents that have been hung up for decoration. He enters the pub as Lance is mid-speech - he's been in contact with Harold, Lou and Andrew Robinson, and has eventually tracked down Toadie's mullet, now framed! Terese asks Mark is he's seen Tyler and Piper, and mistaking the costumes, he points out Ben and Xanthe across the pub.

Hotel Lindrum
Tyler and Piper sit in silence in their hotel room. Piper scares herself with her own reflection in the window and they share a giggle.

Erinsborough Hospital
Holly comments that Izzy seems to have made a miraculous recovery as she sits in bed filing her nails.

HOLLY: When are you going to tell them?
IZZY: It's not the right time.
HOLLY: Why not?
IZZY: Because they will judge us. Especially Susan. I promise I'll tell them... just not right now.

The Waterhole
Sheila and Angie square each other up and ask one another who they're supposed to be dressed as.

ANGIE: Isn't it obvious?!

Elsewhere Paige tells Amy that she thinks things are weird between her and Jack and Amy encourages her to speak to him.

The mystery man has been lurking in the background and spots the card...

Pentouse

Piper goes through the logistics - they can't leave a paper trail, and she's managed to get $10,000 in cash from Tyler's savings account. She suggests that they lie low whilst she arranges fake passports and then move to somewhere like South America without an expedition treaty. Piper also explains that they'll need to change their appearance.

The Waterhole
Lance and Stu joke about the guy they saw dressed as Doctor Who, and Lance tells Stu to get it together. Xanthe receives a voicemail from Piper and listens to it in Sheila's office.

PIPER (VOICEMAIL): Um, me and Tyler, we can't risk him going to jail, so we're not coming back. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you before, but it had to be a secret, and it has to be a secret Xanthe so you can't tell anyone. You're an amazing person Xanthe, and I know that you're going to be happy, because that's who you are.

Xanthe is interrupted by Terese, who is confused and thought she had found Piper. Xanthe explains the costume change and apologises for not having any more information. Meanwhile in the bar Stu continues the speeches for Toadie and he sticks his foot in it by mentioning Sindi and the Andrea fiasco. Toadie leaves the bar and Stu looks embarrassed.

Lassiter's Complex
Toadie is confronted by Sindi who warns him that Andrea is back in the country and has been tracking him. She says that she wants the decision to be his, so hands him a phone number for Andrea and leaves, whilst the rest of Toadie's friends watch on. Stu admits that he knew Sindi wanted to attend the party but didn't know why.

No. 28
Susan gazes out of the living room window as we see a flashback to an argument between her and Izzy on the street. Elly enters and reminds Susan that her history with Izzy was a lifetime ago. Susan counters that Izzy hasn't changed and worries for Holly after she was abandoned at Christmas.

ELLY: You're not worried about Karl as well are you?
SUSAN: I trust him, I do. But Isabelle, she has this way of manipulating him, and he can't even see what she's doing! And I have a horrible feeling that it's starting all over again, and she's only just got here.
ELLY: Where is Karl anyway?

Erinsborough Hospital
Karl offers to take Holly out for brunch and Izzy thanks him for his help. Izzy receives a text and is overjoyed that her 'inheritance' of £41 million has been confirmed!

PIPER: Run!

Tyler grabs a bag and they race down the hotel corridor. They avoid the lift and head to the fire escape, although police are already charging up the stairs. They head up instead and find themselves on the roof of the hotel.

Rooftops
A police helicopter circles overhead as Tyler helps Piper up behind the hotel sign and they race across the rooftops. They become trapped and Tyler contemplates jumping from one building to another.

TYLER: I'm going Pipes.
PIPER: I can't make that!
TYLER: On my own.
PIPER: What are you talking about?
TYLER: You're staying.
PIPER: No!
TYLER: Stop okay, I've made a decision!
PIPER: What, and I don't get a say?
TYLER: You need to go and live your life.
PIPER: Yeah, with you!
TYLER: Without me!
PIPER: Tyler, what's the point of living if it's not with you! Please, I love you!
TYLER: I love you too, but I'm only ever going to bring you down.
PIPER: No you wouldn't, never.
TYLER: Look around you! Look what you're doing, look what I made you do!
PIPER: You didn't make me doing anything!
TYLER: Come with me now and you're a criminal, I won't do that to you.
PIPER: Tyler you can't stop me.
TYLER: I'll always love you, okay. But this is where it has to end, you don't have a choice. Blame it all on me, tell them it was all my idea, that I made you do it.
PIPER: Tyler, no!
TYLER: Then turn around, go home, hug your mum and have the most amazing life that I know you will have, okay, without me. I love you Pipes.

Piper screams after Tyler as he mounts the side of the building and jumps to the other. Piper chases after him and finds herself stood at the edge of the building, contemplating whether or not to jump as well. After a few seconds hesitation, Piper jumps as well but just misses and ends up dangling from the side by her fingers! Piper sobs and screams as she is left dangling. As the helicopter continues to circle, Tyler runs back to grab Piper's arms and almost drops her. A stranger approaches to help and they both manage to lift Piper to safety.

STRANGER: Are you alright? You're under arrest, both of you.

TOADIE: You're aware how strong the case is against you. You've just made it a whole lot stronger trying to run.

Toadie explains that if Tyler is found guilty and will almost definitely be given 20-22 years in jail. If he pleads guilty however, Toadie can try to fight for a short sentence - but a jail sentence is on the cards either way.

Backpackers

Courtroom

JUDGE CHALLIS: Tyler John Brennan. You are charged that on the sixth day of November 2017, at Erinsborough in the State of Victoria, you did murder Hamish Roach. How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?

Courtroom
Toadie pleads Tyler's case as Piper, Mark, Aaron and Terese watch on.

TOADIE: Your honour, the man who stands before you is not a criminal. He acknowledges what he has done is wrong but he has been a victim too. A victim of years of abuse from Russell Brennan. And he managed to pull his life together and contribute to his community, until once again he fell for the manipulations of a cruel and abusive man.

Toadie explains that a large amount of submissions have been written by Tyler's friends, and Toadie himself vouches for Tyler's kindness as a neighbour. The court is adjourned until the sentencing the following morning.

Courtroom
The court is seated for Tyler's sentencing.

JUDGE CHALLIS: Mr Rebecchi made a compelling plea in mitigation, and I believe that Mr Brennan has demonstrated remorse through his plea od guilty. However, ultimately his actions have left a man dead. There was intent. It is murder. And to avoid being caught, Mr Brennan exploited relationships with his mother, brothers and girlfriend, exposing them to personal danger.

Tyler is made to stand.

JUDGE CHALLIS: Tyler John Brennan. You are sentenced to twenty years imprisonment, to be served concurrently with your sentence for failure to answer bail. In recognition of your youth and your good prospects for rehabilitation, I set a non-parole period of ten years.

Piper screams and tries to run to the dock. She cries and is comforted by her family as Tyler is lead out of the court.
