Neighbours kicks off a new week – spoilers below 👇
Since their baby plans were harpooned by Krista, Nicolette has been reluctant to indulge in any baby talk, noted by Jane when she tries to ask Nicolette about research on donors, and when Nicolette hands the baby book Krista gifted to her right back. Her caginess on the subject continues when they meet Sam and her mother Rose prior to their European voyage, still clear that Nicolette has no interest in answering questions about her future baby plans.
When probed by Jane as to her sudden reluctance, Nicolette admits that her confidence has been shaken – she doesn’t think she can be a single mother or raise a child alone.
Krista is honest with Zac about the comping discrepancies: she knows he approved them, so what gives? Though his logic is flawed, Zac lies and insists it was a tactic to boost business, accepting responsibility and offering to have the cost docked from his wages. So thrown by this odd change in behaviour, Krista is willing to let it slide, given how out of character it is.
Following the Jonesy lead, Elle tells Felix of her plans to stake out Jonah’s apartment building. Going through with her plan, Elle is comforted to see a protective Felix turn up to join her, making sure she isn’t alone. Things take a turn when they see Mayor Helen enter the building and leave with Jonah, clearly more than friends. Elle manages to get photo evidence of the pair’s involvement, snapping them kissing.
Now with a worthy scandal on her hands, Paul is nervous about Elle’s next steps, but she passes the story onto Wesley Russo, recusing herself from writing any more articles. When Paul and Terese later see Helen and Jonah being escorted by police through the complex, Helen has a stern warning for them: they shouldn’t have let Elle get near the story.
Now there will be hell to pay for everyone…
