Week Beginning Monday, August 14 2006 Monday, August 14 2006Robert sets Izzy up for a big fall. Taping a number of her conversations on his MP3 player, Robert re-edits them to make it appear that Izzy has feelings for ‘Cam’. Elle is horrified when she hears the recording and decides it’s time Izzy was brought to account. Is Paul’s world about to collapse? Katya continues to be confused by ‘Cam’s’ hot and cold attitude – in truth, Robert is having trouble supplying the intimacy she craves, fearful of the emotions it stirs up inside him. When Katya initiates closeness, Robert manipulates her cruelly, implying that her past makes it hard for him to be with her. After seeing Mishka amongst her fellow countrymen at the local Russian Club, Lou swells with a newfound love and respect for her. But when Lou and Mishka’s Russian mates appear at the General Store to kick on, Harold feels on the outer. Is Mishka freezing out Harold? Sky and Elle are having a tough time making inroads at their new telemarketing jobs. Elle is bawled out by her boss whilst Sky struggles to make a sale.
Tuesday, August 15 2006Izzy pleads her innocence but Paul will have none of it; it’s time for Izzy to pack her bags and get out. Paul is wracked with guilt for doubting his kids and suggests that he’s not fit to father them – he wants Elle and ‘Cam’ to move back home with Gail. Convinced Elle has set her up, it’s only when Izzy hears the “evidence” of her attempted seduction that she realizes who her real enemy is: ‘Cam’. After Robert’s cruel outburst at Katya, Robert is consumed with regret and blames it on his experience with Izzy. Taken in, Katya softens and forgives ‘Cam’. Karl slips further into his role as father figure to Zeke, which brings Susan and Karl ever closer. Carmella shows up at Number Thirty, announcing that she’d like to take Connor up on his offer of time out of the convent. Connor’s only too happy to give her the space to re-assess her decision to join the church, but how will they relate now that so much water has passed under the bridge? Not comprehending the seriousness of Carmella’s decision, Toadie sees it as a sexy challenge for Connor. It’s a battle between Connor and God – the prize: Carmella’s soul!
Wednesday, August 16 2006Kim confesses the DVD scam to Janelle – including Dylan’s deepening involvement. Janelle’s appalled and swears she’ll never forgive Kim if Dylan winds up back in jail. Kim makes a last ditch effort to pull Dylan out of the business but Dylan’s having none of it and a fiery confrontation ensues. Karl spreads himself too thin when he tries to attend Jenny’s pre-selection party and Zeke’s footy pie night. Susan lets Karl have it, accusing him of being unreliable. But is her frustration purely about Zeke’s disappointment - or more to do with her own burgeoning feelings for Karl? Sensing Connor and Carmella’s awkwardness, Toadie suggests they let loose and party it up. They put their dancing shoes on and head out to a nightclub where Carmella initiates a kiss – could a re-kindled romance with Connor make her re-assess her commitment to the church? Bree’s ‘Boy in the Bubble’ scam is discovered and her publisher is less than happy. Bree is sentenced to the literary equivalent of ‘community service’. With one week to go before the wedding Janelle has turned into ‘Bridezilla’ – she’s determined that nothing, but nothing will spoil her big day.
Thursday, August 17 2006Dylan comes close to hitting his father in order to get to the illegal job. It’s enough to make him look at himself and he finally breaks down over Sky’s betrayal. Both men decide to turn over a new leaf. Kim announces this to his family, while promising Janelle that he will still endeavour to give her the wedding she deserves. When Janelle is quiet, the whole family assumes she’s sulking. However, when the wedding fund is stolen, Janelle shocks everyone by admitting it was she who took it. She put down a deposit for a home in Paradise Lakes. Stingray discovers that Rachel is dating a new guy, whom he suspects is untrustworthy. He finally broaches the matter with Rachel, who accuses him of wanting the best of both worlds. Stingray is frustrated that, due to his troubles with Rachel, his valid point will never be heard. In an effort to make Janae and Boyd realise what they’re getting into, Max offers to let them live together. He and the Timmins parents are sure that once they’ve spent concentrated time together the young couple will run a mile from marriage. Lou promises Harold to tell Mishka the truth about who owns the house. Under pressure, Lou sugar coats the truth claiming that Harold won the house at cards. Lou is hoist on his own petard, however, when Mishka calls for a card playing re-match.
Friday, August 18 2006When Cassie the sheep falls ill, Karl rushes to Susan’s side to provide support, and the pair revels in family memories. Cassie stands as a symbol of Karl and Susan’s marriage but ironically it is her death that brings them closer than they’ve been in a long time. The neighbourhood gathers to mark Cassie’s passing and Susan and Karl’s new bond doesn’t go unnoticed. Lyn confronts her friend – is Susan falling for Karl again? Lyn senses that Paul’s bluster is a cry for help and he gratefully unloads about Izzy’s betrayal. Lyn urges Paul to see his newly single state as a positive – now he can concentrate on being a good dad, and perhaps find a woman who will bring out the best in him. Is Lyn hoping this woman might be her? Much to Stingray and Harold’s delight, Sky reclaims both her old look and the contented sense of self that went along with it. Boyd and Janae suppress their minor disagreements and play lovey-dovey just to rile Max. Steph cottons on to the ruse and urges the young couple to take Max’s challenge seriously – he only wants the best for both of them. Fighting her feelings for Stingray, Rachel vows to move on with a new guy – and even become a new person if need be. Stingray’s film is about a monster that can’t be vanquished – could this be a metaphor for his feelings about Rachel?
Carmella's a nun now? Wow! You can tell I haven't watched Neighbour's in a while!   |
