This week on Neighbours, Melanie and Toadie turn to one another for comfort as they cope with Erinsborough’s loss, and Terese goes to Paul for support.
Terese takes it upon herself to take care of Paul, knowing that the loss of another child will break Paul’s heart. She worries about his silence, not realising that he’s struggling with a secret guilt.

Toadie is shocked to learn that Terese will be spending more time with Paul when she texts him back on Ramsay Street. Toadie gives Melanie his own attention out of concern that their sorrow would bring them closer together.
He is aware that Eden’s (Costa D’Angelo) role in David’s demise will cause her to become even more complicated. After all, Eden’s return to Erinsborough was first prompted by her friendship with Krista (Majella Davis). When Melanie needs to talk, Toadie tells her that he’s right across the street.
Later on in the day, Melanie is alone herself at the Kennedy residence when Eden shows up. Eden had been released from police custody while Andrew Rodwell (Lloyd Will) carried out his investigation into a string of inconsistent stories.

Because he is helpless and must wait for the critical response team, Toadie and Aaron decide to take matters into their own hands in order to pass the time.
Toadie chooses to go it alone even though Terese begs him not to, telling Aaron that Leo reminds him that Isla has already lost one father and that it is not worth him risking his own life.

Fortunately, the siege has now ended and Eden has been delivered back to justice. though we’re all probably wondering how long this will last.
The day after Melanie’s confrontation with Eden, Toadie stays by her side offering consolation, and he quickly finds out more about the horrific events that Melanie endured following their split. Anything negative I had left for her vanishes in an instant.
Toadie and Melanie eventually spend the night together at No. 28, where they share the living room sofas.
Under the cover of darkness, they confess to one another how much they had missed one another.
Toadie says to Melanie that his future is now with Terese, even if he still feels an emotional connection to her. This makes him believe it’s time to move on.
In the meantime, Terese tells Mackenzie that she is upset because she finds it difficult to understand Toadie’s ongoing support of Melanie.
She has returned to perceiving Toadie’s actions as purposefully harmful, and she is concerned that she may encounter the same circumstance as she did with her former spouse Brad (Kip Gamblin) years prior.
Terese is therefore justified in acting out when Toadie confesses to her that Melanie stretched the boundaries with him the night before.
She confronts Melanie right away, letting her know that her patience is running out. Melanie trying to pull Toadie out from under her will no longer be tolerated by her.
After just defending her and Toadie’s friendship to Karl, Melanie is left wondering if she has been lying to herself and others about her true motivations. Does she really want Toadie back?
Toadie takes the lead later in the week, telling Terese that he believes she is no longer a member of his family because she is too interested in Paul’s suffering.
Toadie just finished spending the night with his ex-wife, Terese responds. Upon realising that they have been equally horrible as one another lately, they decide to choose each other and agree that Melanie and Paul have other people who can help them.
Have they moved past their “ex” problems at last?
