Neighbours spoilers follow.
Next week on Neighbours, Darcy’s deception is finally exposed in dramatic style. Will there be any answers over what happened to Amanda?
Elsewhere, Wendy and Andrew face another crisis, and Aaron’s love life takes an interesting turn.
1. Sadie and Byron reach a compromise
Sadie and Byron agree to split Amanda’s money, as well as the trustee role. Some will be retained for the scholarship as per Amanda’s wishes, but Sadie’s decision means that the Harris-Stone family won’t lose out.
Darcy is furious when he finds out and harshly brands Sadie a “stupid girl” for giving into Byron’s demands.
2. Darcy panics over Karl
Darcy worries when Karl shows signs of improvement at the hospital.
He realises that he’ll have to flee from Erinsborough sooner rather than later, so he books a flight and plans his escape.
3. Darcy’s luck starts to run out
Various clues soon come to light which point to Darcy’s guilt. Paul compares notes with Tess and they realise that Darcy may be responsible for Karl’s worrying condition.
Meanwhile, Remi confirms that no opioids were found in Karl’s system, which makes it very strange that Darcy found drugs in his bag. Paul encourages Susan to get Karl tested for other drugs, in particular ones that could have caused his mysterious stroke symptoms.
4. Darcy makes another desperate move
When Karl wakes from his coma, Darcy commits another shocking crime by injecting a stronger dose of drugs into his drip.
He’s determined to buy himself as much time as possible before his flight, but is it already too late to cover his tracks?
5. Susan grows suspicious over Darcy
JJ and Nell warn Susan that Elenora’s medication has gone missing at Eirini Rising. Susan pieces the clues together, realising that the medication could have caused Karl’s illness.
Darcy strikes again by slipping a pill into Susan’s tea, fearful of what she might do next. However, when Susan secretly switches the drinks, Darcy loses consciousness.
6. Darcy’s link to Amanda’s death is exposed
Now working together, Byron and Sadie discover that Amanda’s shares were transferred to Darcy – proving that he took advantage of her in her vulnerable state.
When Darcy regains consciousness, he’s handcuffed to the bed at the hospital. He’s soon arrested by the police, but refuses to incriminate himself by disclosing any details over what really happened to Karl or Amanda.
7. Byron faces another rejection
With the truth about Darcy now out in the open, Byron dares to hope that there could still be a chance for him and Sadie. He even reveals that he and the family would like to use some of the inheritance money to pay for Sadie to undergo corrective surgery on her back scars.
Sadie is initially touched, but when Byron misreads the situation and moves in for a kiss, she reminds him that their relationship is over.
8. Terese faces trouble at work
The Eirini Rising residents are outraged over the revelation that a murderous medic was in their midst. Terese struggles to deal with the fallout, especially with outspoken Vera raising concerns.
Colton steps in to calm the waters, impressing Terese.
9. Andrew and Wendy drift further apart
Andrew confronts Wendy for investigating his biological family and meeting his long-lost sister Gretchen without his knowledge. He feels badly betrayed by Wendy’s behaviour.
The situation only gets worse when Wendy passes on the information that Gretchen gave to her, explaining that Andrew’s birth mother is dead and his father is a bad person. Although Wendy wants to talk about this further, Andrew is not interested and pushes her away.
10. Holly teams up with Andrew
Holly becomes sceptical over the information that Gretchen gave to Wendy. Suspicious that things aren’t exactly as Gretchen described, Holly does her own digging and uncovers information suggesting that Andrew’s dad isn’t a bad guy after all.
Before long, Holly and Andrew unite for a trip to Sandy Point, where they hope to get answers once and for all.
11. Aaron takes Nicolette’s advice
Aaron becomes overwhelmed and uncomfortable when Rhett and Colton compete to impress him during a yoga class. Remi advises Aaron to pursue things with Colton, while Cara argues that Rhett is the better choice.
Nicolette advises Aaron to simply date both guys and find out for himself. Against his better judgement, Aaron decides to take this on board and begins seeing them both.
Later in the week, Colton rejects a chance to get physical with Aaron again. This leaves Aaron worried that Colton isn’t serious about their relationship.
12. Taye is blackmailed by Lydia
Taye’s best client Lydia opposes his decision to stop working as an escort and tries to offer him more money. Taye refuses, but Lydia spies an opportunity when it’s revealed that she is Cara’s new boss.
Lydia threatens to make Cara’s life at work very difficult unless Taye reconsiders. When Lydia makes an initial vengeful move with negative consequences for Cara, Taye takes note of the warning and reluctantly agrees to keep seeing her.
