What does he want? And will she tell him about her drinking?
23-29 NOVEMBER
In the wake of Moira's resident uprising, Terese feels defeated, and deservedly so, however Paul doesn't believe that the legal ultimatum they've given her can be enforceable, especially as Moira is getting her legal advice from Tim Colins.
It soon transpires that the contracts are on the residents’ side, not that Terese feels she has
any right to fight them anyway.
At first, she is completely weighed down and unable to get off the couch, beliveing she has no choice but to sell up and move on. But Paul plans the perfect day designed to get her out of her head, and she ends up realising it’s too soon to sell. And even if she does do so one day, she should still be very proud of what she accomplished.
Terese passes on the news to Karl and Susan that she officially has no more plans for coming back and they praise her for handling it with so much composure. But deep down it’s killing Terese to step away, again, from everything she built.
Later, Nell surprises JJ with a visit, saying Toadie doesn’t know she’s there as he’s off on a ‘secret mission’. Meanwhile, Terese is rattled to run into Toadie at Harold’s. When he wants to talk to her, she backs off, letting him assume she needs to go to work at Eirini Rising.
When JJ is called to the hospital, Nell and JJ’s time together is cut short and Toadie catches up with Susan, who’s surprised by Terese’s white lie, although she doesn’t correct it.
Over coffee with Jane and Susan, Terese reveals she’s avoiding Toadie because she doesn’t want to let him know she fell off the wagon, telling Susan it has to be kept secret.
As JJ and Nell meet up again at Harold’s, they are soon sprung by Toadie, who’s unexpectedly calm. But after Toadie sends Nell outside, he reveals to Terese the real reason he came to Erinsborough is he needs a big favour.
When Toadie asks if Nell can come and live with her for a while, Terese is knocked for six and Toadie goes on to reveal that Big Kev has been diagnosed with cancer and he doesn't want Nell to watch someone close to her die. Especially after all the historic trauma she has held onto from Sonya’s demise..
Torn between sympathy for Toadie and concern over the secret she’s keeping about her recent relapse, Terese, in the moment, can't bring herself to tell Toadie about her drinking, though he finds out later from Jane.
Concerned for Terese, Toadie withdraws his request for her to look afer Nell. But whilst he's trying to be respectful of Terese, she takes it the wrong way, accusing him of messing with her once again.
Later, Terese downloads with Paul and the pair share another moment of connection.
Meanwhile, Toadie asks Susan if she and Karl would be willing to look afer Nell. Assuring him that Nell will always have a place in her home, Susan implores him to speak to Nell first. By now, Nell has realised something major is going down and Toadie braces himself to break the difficult news.
