Seasons & episodes

Amber is confused by Rain’s behaviour – Daniel’s ex-girlfriend seems to be going out of her way to make sure Amber feels included. Feeling uneasy, she asks Daniel if he misses ‘Eden’ and Daniel talks warmly about the experience, but ends with a reassurance that he’s happy where he is, which doesn’t ring true for Amber.

Daniel resolves to talk to Rain to assess her motives in asking them to join her at New Eden. But once Daniel is face to face with her, he is disarmed by her insistence that she only wants Daniel for his skills in setting up a community. He agrees to consider her request. Paul though counsels caution: bringing an ex into things is a sure-fire way to ruin a good relationship.

Josh and the Willis family prepare themselves for the worst as they face his sentencing hearing, unsure what Chris has added to his statement. But Josh is stunned – and relieved – when he discovers that Chris’s addendum suggests that Josh doesn’t deserve a custodial sentence. When the Judge hands down a community service order, the Willis family are relieved.

Georgia and Kyle discuss what to do re: the letter they received about Sonya and reluctantly decide to tell her about it. When Georgia arrives at Toadie’s, she discovers Karl got a letter too. Sonya comes home and Toadie breaks the bad news to her. Georgia then confirms that everyone on Ramsay Street got a letter.

Reeling in the wake of seeing Sheila with his father, Kyle doesn’t know how to process the shock. When Sheila arrives home, he shuts down, letting her pass without so much as a vague inquiry. Georgia urges Kyle to confront Sheila and get to the bottom of the family history, but he’s reluctant: she’ll tell him when she’s ready. Seeing his turmoil, however, Georgia asserts that Kyle has a right ...

Kyle isn’t sure how to respond to his father’s sudden desire to get to know him, and they share an awkward conversation full of reserve and repressed anger on Kyle’s behalf, and awkwardness and guilt on Gary’s. Witnessing a tender moment between Kyle and Bossy, Gary is overwhelmed and bails on the meeting, leaving Kyle furious.

Believing distance is the best thing for her marriage, Terese checks into the hotel. Doug can’t fathom why Terese has abandoned her family, and Brad is forced to admit his infidelity. Doug finally understands why Terese has found life difficult with Lauren and Paige living across the road. Doug asks Brad to be honest with himself – does he want to be with Lauren?

The Willis family struggles to cope with Terese’s decision to move out of home. Terese is also struggling and is tempted to reconcile with Brad, but Paul reminds her of why she moved out in the first place and advises her to stay true to her purpose. When Susan hears what Paul’s been saying, she suspects he may have designs on Terese, but Paul’s adamant he’s only acting as Terese’s friend.

Still reeling from the formal complaint made to the DHS, Sonya quickly realises her history could possibly inflame the situation and in her stressed state of mind, contemplates the possibility of Nell being taken away from her. Toadie tries to reassure her, but Sonya’s beyond consoling and eventually works herself into a state where she’s tempted to drink alcohol.

Disappointed that Daniel isn’t able to give his full commitment to helping out with New Eden, Rain turns her attention to Amber. After venting about how much food is wasted from cafes, Rain challenges Amber to go dumpster diving with her. Bailey scoffs – Princess Amber get her hands dirty? Unlikely! Determined to prove him wrong, Amber agrees to the mission…

Terese is impressed by Brad’s efforts to woo her back home, but what is meant to be a romantic picnic by the rotunda soon devolves into them reopening old wounds with Brad reminded of his resentment about being forced into a teaching career. Both are at a loss to know how to move forward; Terese wants Brad to be honest with her, but she is rattled by the revelations of his true feelings.

A weary Terese (having had a couple of glasses of wine the night before) is gutted to learn that Paul’s organised a short-notice conference, and she has to work. And then, struggling through the morning, she runs into Ezra, her old flame from Perth, also there for the conference. Flustered Terese is rocked to see him, and embarrasses herself a little.

When Imogen refuses to attend her Year Twelve formal, Doug plans a Willis family formal and invites Terese to join. Worried about Imogen’s state of mind, Terese agrees to attend, hoping Brad’s issues about Ezra can be put aside for their daughter’s sake. And while the night initially goes well, the tension between Brad and Terese finally erupts leaving poor Imogen devastated.

After yet another horrendous argument with Brad the night before, Terese is unsuccessfully trying to distract herself with work, when to her surprise, Ezra turns up. Convincing her they need to do more work on the Erinsborough festival, he proceeds to flatter and charm a flustered Terese. When he invites her to dinner, she’s even more flustered, and seeks out Brad to try and work things out.

Brad is distressed to learn from Paul that Ezra accompanied Terese to her room. He finds her alone but assumes the worst, ie, that she slept with Ezra and their marriage is over. After dealing with Ezra, fragile Terese can’t reveal the truth (that she had to kick Ezra out). Josh is alarmed to hear his parents may split up for good and urges his dad not to give up on his marriage.

Lauren’s horrified by Amber’s decision to join the New Eden commune and decides to rally the local community against it. She attracts plenty of support and it seems Rain’s grand plans could well be quashed. Worried by this, Rain suggests to Amber and Daniel that they relocate New Eden to the Mornington Peninsula, and that they go there tonight to feel the vibe of the new site.

After learning that Rain’s been manipulating him, Daniel’s furious to discover that she’s been doing the same with Amber through meditation. Shocked, Amber confronts Rain over this, who claims she was doing them a favour – Amber and Daniel are not meant to be together. She believes that Daniel doesn’t really love Amber; he’s more in love with the idea of being in love and of having what his ...

When Sheila accuses Gary of hocking Kyle’s tools, Gary reveals his innocence by unveiling a set of ‘hot’ tools he’s bought to replace the ones he lost. Despite accepting that Gary’s heart was in the right place, Sheila forces him to return the stolen goods. But when Gary sees Kyle struggling financially from the loss of work no tools has meant, dodgy Gary earns some quick cash on the sly ...

Brennan’s angry at Sonya for paying Erin’s bail, but knows that she’s trying to alleviate her deep-seated guilt over abandoning Erin all those years ago. When Erin arrives, she accuses Sonya of trying to buy her off – but Sonya maintains that all she wants to do is help her. Eventually, Erin decides to trust Sonya.

Karl treats Brad for a bruised and battered hand, but when he asks Brad how the injury occurred, Brad’s story is far from convincing. Karl thinks nothing more about it until he’s informed about the assault on Ezra Hanley. Concerned that the two things may be connected, Karl confronts Brad. Brad admits he lied about how he injured his hand, but swears he had nothing to do with Ezra’s attack.

Brad is out on bail. The Willis family unite to support him, but with the added stress of waiting on VCE results, Imogen confides in Joshua that the circumstantial evidence against their dad is strong. There’s a real possibility he could go to jail. With this in mind, Joshua confesses to Matt that he attacked Ezra.

Naomi learns the ‘Santa Union’ is refusing to supply a Santa and Melty ...

It’s Christmas Day in Ramsay Street, and Paul’s eager to show his appreciation to neighbours who have stood by him during his depression over losing Kate.
