Monday


Paige wakes after being knocked out by Dustin and insists she's fine. Despite this, Jack is overcome with concern - a sign that he clearly still loves her. After getting the all clear from the hospital, Paige is determined to get back in the ring and work on her defences. While Lauren is adamant that Paige shouldn't spar again, Paige won't hear it. She finds an ally in Tyler, who is friendly despite their scandalous tryst.

Later, Jack sees Paige with Tyler and is struck by jealousy. Upon learning that Paige punched Tyler once, Jack suggests she's too much of a loose cannon to box. However, his deterrence has the opposite effect and a revved-up Paige convinces him to give her lessons.

As the pair box, their unresolved sexual tension boils over and they nearly kiss. A troubled Jack pulls away, leaving Paige beyond frustrated. In desperate need of an outlet, she seeks out Tyler. Tired of being judged and labelled a bad boy, he decides to go for it with Paige.

Meanwhile, Lucy announces that Paul's proposal to buy Lassiters has her tick of approval. Excited to get back on his feet, Paul launches into celebrations. However, they're interrupted by a phone call. It's Terese, who has been secretly gathering investors and wants to put in a bid of her own.

After hearing Terese's pitch, Lucy reveals that she'll be supporting her proposal instead. Madison is elated and it's decided that she'll be going to New York with Lucy as Terese's representative. But surely Paul won't take this lying down?

Elsewhere, Archie has a go at Jimmy over Amy's cleaning scandal. Charlie sticks up for his mate, but an embarrassed Jimmy wants to pretend the whole ordeal never happened. When Amy queries how his day went, he keeps the truth from her.

Charlie insists that Amy deserves to know, but Jimmy is defensive as he doesn't want to add to her worries. Unable to agree, the two mates part ways. That's when Charlie has another run-in with Archie. The altercation escalates and Archie traps Charlie in the dumpster. Will Charlie be rescued before it's too late?


Tuesday

Still trapped in a skip, Charlie bangs and screams trying to attract attention. As Paige and Tyler kiss in the garage, they hear the banging coming from outside. Paige is nervous they may be discovered, but Tyler dismisses her concerns and silences her with another kiss.

The next day, Piper tells Paige that she knows the fling with Tyler was a one-off and they should put it all behind them. She wants to repair their relationship. While searching for missing Charlie, the girls are met by Mark, who reminds them to report anything they've seen or heard that could be significant. Paige is reluctant to reveal that she was at the garage the night before in case Piper catches on, but in the end decides she has no choice and tells Mark about the noises she heard.

Later at the garage, Tyler and Paige describe what happened. It dawns on Mark what his brother and ex-fiancéw got up to, but it also helps him find Charlie. With a dumpster truck on the verge of picking up the skip, Mark comes to the rescue. Paige soon assures Tyler that Piper is none the wiser about them hooking up, but is she right?

Meanwhile, Amy decides that going public with a secret takes the power away from bullies. So she strips down to her underwear at work and makes a point of confronting her detractors. Steph praises her ballsy attitude.

Elsewhere, after another attempt by Terese to patch things up, Paul visits her at the Penthouse. While there, he catches sight of her 'Strategy' file and forms his own strategy for bringing her down.


Wednesday

Toadie remains worried about Sonya's welfare after the threats around the bike path vote, but Sonya is determined to stand up to the bullying and go ahead with the plan.

When the council votes in favour of the path, the Rebecchis reconcile in the calm after the storm, reaffirming their love and heading out for a night to celebrate. Afterwards, they are determined to get back on track with their intimate schedule and they settle in for a night at home, oblivious to the fact that a shadowy figure has just released a snake on their front lawn...

Meanwhile, Amy is pleased when Aaron reports that the reaction to her underwear strut is positive, but she's not so happy about the bunch of flowers sent to her by an admirer who wants to buy her a drink. Aaron argues the note accompanying the flowers is cute and all about her attitude, not her underwear. Sheila pitches in to convince Amy that she should at least take a look at this guy who apparently admires her courage.

Somehow Amy finds herself at the bar meeting Greg, with the back-up of Sheila and Aaron nearby in case she requires extraction. The date goes well and Amy is thrown when her new man asks her back to his room. To her own surprise, she is tempted and Aaron's suggestion that she should have some fun leads to her taking up the invitation. But as they get it on in the privacy of Greg's room, a hidden camera records their every move…

Elsewhere, Paul insists that Gary break into Terese's office to copy her strategy file, an order Gary initially resists due to the promise he made to his family to stay out of trouble this time around. Paul's threat to have his parole revoked ultimately leaves Gary with no choice and he steals the file from the penthouse. In the process, he discovers that Terese keeps a photo of Paul in her desk drawer. When he hands the file to Paul, it's noticeably thinner - a sign that he's playing his own game against his unscrupulous boss.


Thursday

While walking home under the influence, Elly breaks her expensive shoe on equipment lying around a construction site. Elly pursues restitution with Sonya the next day, thinking the construction site belongs to the council for the bike path. However, when Steph makes it clear that Elly was at fault and Sonya explains that the construction site in question doesn't belong to the council, Elly hits a brick wall.

When Elly crosses with Steph later that day, the claws come out. As they argue, Elly spots Nell riding her trike on the driveway, right into the path of an approaching snake. She snatches up Nell, but is bitten herself.

Meanwhile, Ben tells Alison that he penned a romantic ballad for Xanthe, but didn't have the courage to give it to her. Artfully working the situation to her own advantage, Alison manipulates Ben into asking her to deliver the lyrics to Xanthe. When she does, Alison claims that Ben wrote them for her instead. Xanthe is hurt, so when Ben comes to spill his heart, she cruelly laughs at the lyrics he wrote 'for Alison'. This drives Ben away in torment, leaving him ripe for Alison's picking.

Elsewhere, Amy tries to get in touch with Greg after their date, but it dawns on her that he gave her a fake number and she's disheartened. In a flashback, we see Amy make her apologies and leave the hotel room, before Greg turns to a hidden camera and darkly apologises for not getting what his boss wants.


Friday

Elly is rushed to hospital. Karl is worried after hearing her symptoms - it's clear the snake released its venom into Elly, which could be fatal. To complicate matters further, routine tests reveal that Elly is pregnant. The news comes as a complete shock to her, but more worryingly, any treatment for the snake venom may put the early stage pregnancy at risk. Elly doesn't want to hurt the baby, but Karl puts it in stark terms - she needs antivenin or she could die. Elly realises there's no choice and tells him to go ahead.

Elly asks Susan to contact her ex Derek to let him know about his baby. Susan is intensely worried about her niece, especially after they learn that the baby didn't survive. Supporting Elly through her devastation, Susan learns that the break-up with Derek was recent and it's the reason Elly has been acting so wild since she first arrived.

Moved by Elly's plight, Susan is in no mood for Karl's posturing when he discusses Clive, the man who is accused of releasing the snake as a protest against the bike paths. Losing her cool, she lambasts Karl for his role in escalating the bike path debate and warns him that he'd better pull his head in or he'll have her to deal with. Has the snake triggered a rift in the Kennedys' marriage?

Meanwhile, Sonya confronts Clive at The Waterhole and warns him of the danger his protest posed. But Clive isn't one to be bullied and fights back, telling her he's not going to give up. Has Sonya put herself and her family in even more danger?

Elsewhere, when Xanthe goes to visit Elly in the hospital, she crosses with Ben. She is initially sympathetic to him over his worry for his cousin, but she does an about-face when she spots a hickey on his neck and realises he's been getting hot and heavy with Alison. She is hurt and lashes out, but he defends himself by reminding her that she's with Cooper. Both are yearning to be with each other but are unable to admit it.

Ben says as much to Piper, who is nursing a heavy heart of her own as she deals with the idea of Paige and Tyler hooking up. She is sympathetic, but points out that his attempt to distract himself with Alison just got serious - she's posted a status update saying they're in a relationship. It's Facebook official.

Just a theory I think Archie Quill, lets the snake out and threw the brick through the window and damaged the car, because he blames Steph and Toadie for helping get his mother sent to jail. Also a bit convenient that he's left behind, when Tom Quill left last week.

I was wondering why Archie's still around when his family is all gone?

[Dazzle]

It seems to me that it was implied that the sleazeball who was going to film himself having sex with Amy drugged (and possibly raped) Elly! It would explain why she was acting drunk and disorientated the next morning even though she insisted she'd stopped drinking. He was certainly very sinister...

However, I think it's unlikely Neighbours would tackle such a serious storyline and Elly appeared to be unscathed afterwards (well, until the snake bite that is), so I'm really not sure what to make of it.

I thought Elly said that the guy just tried it on with her? Then again, where did she spend the night?

Yes I think she did say that, but I was thinking she could have forgotten what happened next if she'd been drugged. I don't know where she's supposed to have spent the night...

It definitely seems like we don't know the full story (although I haven't seen today's episode yet so perhaps it's now been explained?).

[Aussieguy]

He was sleazy that's for sure and he could have drugged Elly. I think he's working with that creep that owns the paper ,trying to get dirt on Amy.
