Weddings always go smoothly on Neighbours right? Y’know, apart from when the groom drives the bride off a cliff, the bride discovers an affair at the altar or one half of the not so happy couple decides that he wants to become a priest. Something disastrous like that would happen to the future Mr and Mrs Brennan would it? After all this is Mark’s second engagement after the last one ended two years ago following the unfortunate assassination of the bride-to-be he has to be due some happiness now surely?
The plans for the backyard wedding are set and everything looks ready for the perfect day, Paige (Olympia Valance) has her parents Brad (Kip Gamblin) and Lauren (Kate Kendall) back together, a sick but in relative good spirits Doug (Terrence Donovan) is back for the occasion and both she and Mark (Scott McGregor) are about as excited for the big day as any couple possibly could be. After Doug’s condition means that he deteriorates as the day goes on she makes the decision that the wedding should be moved earlier in the day. Which is all well and good but it seems Mark may not get the message, ever the dedicated cop he has gone into work the morning of the event and has left his phone off. Will he get the message in time?
More importantly, with some new evidence regarding a recent spate of robberies that Paige was set up to be involved in coming to light, will his big day coincide with learning some shocking secrets that his lover has been keeping from him? As Mark begins to learn more and more, Paige is gathered with friends and family, with just the groom left to turn up.
Charlie is in Ramsay Street and Steph is eager to see him but Toadie makes it clear that if she does then she is gifting Max the opportunity to win full custody. Lyn realises that she’s made a mistake bringing him back to where he used to live and tries to keep him from knowing Steph is out of hospital, hiding out at Susan’s and later Harold’s all is well until Charlie and Jimmy meet and Jimmy mentions the cool female neighbour that he likes to hang out with.
Sonya’s bid to become mayor gathers steam but the unfortunate side effect of running with a dark past is that it doesn’t take long for the dark past to come to light. Will she put off by putting her and her family in the spotlight or can Toadie and Karl convince her that running is the right thing to do.
Piper isn’t taking to Tyler and Courtney’s relationship very well, so when she spies her and mayoral candidate Tim Collins in a compromising position she approaches Sonya with a video of the event. Sonya orders her not to put it online but Piper doesn’t listen, only to later realise that she’s made a terrible mistake.
Kyle and Amy have a bit of a rough week when she looks at pictures of Jade and Georgia and is convinced by Xanthe that she needs a makeover. The headstrong woman soon regrets the decision and challenges her boyfriend to say what he really feels about the new look. The problems don’t end there though when a letter from Georgia arrives in the post and the blast from the past causes them both to have some issues with it.
Doug is back in town and in a worse state than ever, instantly hostile with Lauren he becomes a tough house guest to manage but really he is struggling with what is happening to his mind. Will he be struggling with his money too when Paul, out to get money for his new motel discovers he has some money and makes a move on it. Is he really going to take advantage of a man that isn’t in control of his own mind?
Paul isn’t stopping there though, needing to rush secure a deposit for the motel he has to put on a rushed motivational seminar (at Number 22 obviously) in order to drum up support. It seems a benefactor may be on the way from a very unlikely source.
