Tensions reach breaking point this week on Neighbours as Terese finally draws a line in the sand with Paul, issuing a powerful ultimatum that could spell the end of their relationship for good.
Paul is eager to patch things up and insists on talking things through, but Terese is furious after he defied her clear boundaries by continuing to involve Chelsea in their lives. Still deeply hurt, Terese refuses to even be in the same building as Chelsea and moves back into the Willis house with Nell, leaving Paul reeling.
Despite the growing rift, Paul doubles down on his support for Chelsea. Believing she just needs a fresh start, he offers to invest in her perfume business – a move he claims is meant to help her move on. But Krista, Leo, and Terese are united in their concerns: Paul’s unwavering attachment to Thomas, Chelsea’s son, is clouding his judgement and threatening the fragile stability of his personal life.
When Terese learns about the investment, she’s furious and challenges Paul directly. Paul attempts to justify his actions, claiming the investment is purely a strategy to remove Chelsea from their lives. But Terese isn’t buying it. Tired of the lies and manipulations, she delivers a final ultimatum: choose between her or Thomas.
