Although regretful after her impulsive slap, Melanie reminds Toadie that he came to her – over and over again. While she’ll always regret her choices that ended their marriage, it doesn’t give Toadie the right to use her to exercise his frustrations. After Nell and Hugo witness the fraught moment, Toadie explains that he and Terese are taking time apart. Nell is dismayed when Toadie confirms he cheated with Melanie. After comforting an anxious Hugo, Nell confronts Melanie for destroying their family for a second time; she will never forgive her. When Melanie encounters Terese, Terese congratulates her for ‘winning’. But Melanie counters that Toadie ruled what happened between them a mistake; Terese is the one he wants to be with. Despite this, Terese feels unable to be with someone who would betray her so badly. Andrew meanwhile is surprised when Toadie refutes the idea of separation from Terese or renewing his relationship with Melanie; Terese is the one he wants. A heartbroken Nell visits Terese at the hotel, offering support, loyalty, and love. As the ramifications continue to reverberate, Melanie puts away her wedding ring, seemingly closing the lid on her relationship with Toadie.
When the Rodwells find Felix in the spa with his girlfriend, Jools, Andrew takes umbrage at not being consulted about Felix entertaining a house guest. He drops his reservations, however, when Felix assures him that Jools is squeaky clean. Later, Wendy scores Felix a job interview as a labourer at Eirini Rising. Felix, overwhelmed by JJ’s proximity, hints to Jools that he plans to bolt once he’s saved enough money – even if it means breaking parole.
Meanwhile, JJ is spooked when he sees Slade and his mates in the area. Later, crossing paths with the gang in the complex, he is cornered. Slade shoves JJ, who attempts the self-defence moves that Andrew taught him. But Slade easily blocks them. Just as JJ’s about to get pummelled, Felix scares the gang off, earning JJ’s admiration. JJ is intrigued when Felix, enjoying playing mentor, shares his tactic to psyche out opponents, contradicting Andrew’s teachings. After another encounter with the gang, Felix suggests they give them a taste of their own medicine. Later, when Hugo tries to defend Nell from Slade’s harassment, the gang locks Hugo in Slade’s car boot.
