Next week on Neighbours, it’s the final dramatic episodes before the show’s Christmas break.
Paul and Terese’s future is revealed, a familiar face returns and three characters face terrible danger on Power Road.
Here’s our guide to 10 big moments coming up. You can also check out our full collection of 37 spoiler pictures from these episodes.
1. Paul and Terese hit the road
In a special two-hander episode, Paul and Terese anxiously take a road trip together, hoping to track down Leo and Sebastian. When Terese finds a remnant of Leo’s shirt left behind at a ramshackle property, Paul starts to fear that something terrible has happened to his son.
Paul struggles with the thought of losing Leo after David’s tragic death earlier in the year. Fortunately, Leo later makes contact to confirm that he’s fine and already on his way back to Erinsborough.
2. Paul declares his love for Terese
Paul and Terese’s return home is delayed by road blocks, caused by landslides in the area. They have no choice but to visit a nearby town and rent out a cabin, which is designed for couples.
Surrounded by romantic decorations, flowers and chocolates, Paul and Terese reflect on their past. They agree that their marriage was toxic and they shouldn’t reunite.
The next morning, however, Paul has a drastic change of heart and confesses to Terese that he wants her back. How will she respond?
3. Yaz strikes again
Yaz gets emotional while attending a Christmas event with Nicolette. She opens up to Nic about how she’s grieving following the death of her brother, but keeps quiet about how the man in question was Heath.
The emotional moment brings Yaz and Nicolette closer together, but Yaz later sneaks out of her hotel room to break into Rhonda’s office and steal Holly’s counselling file.
4. Yaz continues to manipulate Holly
Yaz is pleased with the intel she gains from looking at Holly’s file. She later finds Holly feeling vulnerable after another session with Rhonda and tries to trick her into saying something to incriminate herself.
Holly decides that it’s best to keep work as a safe space rather than discussing her ordeal in the Outback. Yaz’s frustrations grow as she still seems to be getting nowhere with her mission.
5. Krista gives Sebastian an ultimatum
Krista lets Sebastian stay at her apartment for the night, but she isn’t prepared to tolerate any more excuses from her wayward friend. Sebastian insists that he still needs Krista’s financial help to pay off some loan sharks, but she’s sceptical over his plans for the money.
Krista offers Sebastian help with getting sober, or the alternative option of him taking the cash and never bothering her again. She’s devastated when Sebastian takes the money and walks out.
6. Vera feels rejected by her housemates
Vera is disappointed when she learns that Byron and Sadie are kicking Max out of Number 32. She organises a Christmas Day brunch for the share house gang, hoping that it’ll be enough to make everyone warm to Max again.
Byron, Sadie, Nicolette and Max all unexpectedly unite as they realise that they’re fed up with Vera playing games with them. The foursome agree that they should be able to focus on spending time with family and true friends at Christmas, leaving Vera devastated when she overhears their harsh words.
7. Nicolette is on the move
Nicolette thanks Aaron after he kindly gives her some relationship advice over Yaz. She takes the opportunity to hand over a framed letter, which confirms Aaron’s adoption of Isla.
Jane is pleased to see Nicolette going to such kind lengths for Aaron and invites her to move back home in time for Christmas.
8. Chelsea returns
On Christmas Day, the Varga-Murphys prepare for their trip to New York. Dex continues to clash with Holly when she brings over a gift for Cara, but his family help him to realise that it’s time to show some forgiveness.
Later, Cara, Remi, JJ and Dex arrive at the airport. While waiting for their flight, Cara is intrigued to see someone who looks like her sister Chelsea passing through.
Cara dismisses this as not possible, but Chelsea really is back in town – and she’s pregnant.
9. Holly faces more terror
Nicolette invites Yaz to join her family’s Christmas gathering. She’s upset when Yaz pulls out and she feels rejected, failing to realise that it’s only because Holly will be there.
Later, Yaz arranges for a present “from Heath” to arrive at the Kennedy house. Holly is left terrified by this attempt to mess with her mind, but will she figure out who’s responsible?
10. Max, Sadie and Sebastian are left in peril
Max realises that Vera is home alone after the upsetting moment at the share house. He decides to buy her some Christmas lunch to make amends.
Meanwhile, a mystery man turns up in Erinsborough looking for Sebastian. Leo has heard that Sebastian is hiding out in a shed on Power Road, so he tells the visitor exactly where to find him.
Just as Max picks up Vera’s food at Grease Monkeys, he spots a car driving straight towards Sebastian and innocent bystander Sadie.
Max jumps in to try to rescue Sadie, but they’re both knocked over alongside Sebastian. Will everyone survive?
