Karl lashes out at Andrew over Holly’s pregnancy in Neighbours

Can Susan keep the peace as old wounds resurface?

 15-21 NOVEMBER

As Karl and Susan continue to support Holly through her pregnancy, it quickly becomes clear that Karl only wants to blame Andrew for the situation.

When faced with Andrew in the street, Karl lashes out and gets physical with Andrew, appalled by the comparison being made with him, something Susan isn’t quick to comment on. Despite Karl’s objections, Susan’s silence speaks volumes. The Izzy wound is resurfacing, and she goes to Terese and Jane for support.

Meanwhile, knowing what it’s like to be in Wendy’s shoes, Susan offers her her understanding, before Wendy breaks down in front of her, overwhelmed by the idea of Andrew having a child with another woman. As Andrew continues to try to mend fences with Wendy, it’s obvious that Wendy isn’t ready, or interested, in a reconciliation.

However, it seems that Sadie is eager to hear her father’s side of the story. After going to Andrew with questions about the affair, Sadie leaves the interaction ready to put all the blame on Holly, not prepared to confront Andrew’s role in all of this. Hurt and angry, Sadie confronts Holly, handing her a clear directive. She and her baby need to leave Erinsborough and never come back!

With Sadie’s warning playing on her mind, Holly makes a feeble attempt to share the news with Izzy, hoping she can go to stay with her mother when the baby comes. But when she gets an unsurprisingly flakey response, a distraught Holly tells Susan about Sadie’s ultimatum, which prompts Susan to wonder if Wendy is across Sadie’s movements.

With Izzy being the hot topic, Karl, Holly, and Susan get the chance to clear the air, and Susan gets the chance to finally be honest with Holly, admitting that while she’ll always be supportive, she’s incredibly disappointed in her.

Later, Holly touches base with Andrew, knowing she’ll have to decide how involved he is going forward, and shares the baby ultrasound images with him. This is all he ever wanted, but can it be enough when it’s not with the right person?

Meanwhile, Taye continues to fend off Monica, who wants to get her money back between the sheets. Devastated over Holly, Max offers to sort out the Monica issue, offering himself to her as a replacement. While it quickly becomes clear that neither Monica nor Max could go through with it, their conversation leads Monica to let Taye off the hook, resorting to a payment plan.

With the situation weighing heavily on him, Taye tells Sadie about everything, feeling very lucky that she harbours no resentment over him not telling her immediately.

Coming home, Sadie finds Wendy staring at photos of herself and Andrew around the house and tries hard to push Andrew as the lesser of two evils. But Wendy makes Sadie see that no matter who started it, Andrew is equally to blame.

Reaching breaking point, Wendy begins removing the photos of her and Andrew from around the house, before finding herself on his doorstep. To Andrew’s shock, Wendy offers him her blessing. If he loves Holly and thinks they can make it work, he should be with her and

the baby.

Meanwhile, Holly opens up to Susan about how the affair began, making for a hard but meaningful conversation as Holly reveals she genuinely believed she and Andrew were going to be together.

At Shane Ramsay’s request, Paul checks up on Max, who still has the rocking horse he tried to give Holly when he thought he was the father of her baby.

Despite his best efforts, he’s struggled to part with it, but to put a line under his part in the story, he offers her the rocking horse, making it clear that the gesture doesn’t equal forgiveness. But it does give him some semblance of peace.

Later, Holly plucks up the courage to talk to Wendy about her supposed ‘blessing’, offering a long and heartfelt apology. Unphased, a conniving Wendy tells Holly to keep the door open on Andrew, but little do they know that Wendy's attitude isn't all it seems.

With Andrew not believing that Wendy’s offer is serious, she's stone-cold. If he’s in love with Holly, what’s the issue? Be with her. Despite Andrew’s protests, Wendy is adamant that there is no possibility of amends being made.

Sadie is lost for words when Wendy tells her about her ‘blessing’ of Andrew and Holly, which leads her to ask Andrew if he’d really consider the offer.

His hesitation is enough to put Sadie into a tailspin, sending her to confront Holly, telling her she cannot take Wendy up on the offer to be with her dad.

Completely oblivious, Holly is shocked by the revelation, and when she and Andrew swap notes in the street about Wendy’s offer, she watches them through the window, wondering if Andrew takes the bait. This is a test, after all.
