Is Libby’s love for Drew ruining her life with Darren? Steph and Toadie take sides in the fight. Rachel and Angus bury their feelings. Janae is jealous about Ned’s trip away with Kirsten. Karl makes a big decision about his career.

The strife between Libby and Darren continues this week. Darren is furious when he learns that Libby has enrolled Ben in Erinsborough Primary School, and feels that his partner is slipping away from him. Darren tells Toadie that he can never live up to Libby’s memory of Drew, while Libby confides her

problems to Steph. Toadie and Steph find themselves taking sides in the fight. While neither of them approves of Darren’s actions, Toadie feels there are mitigating circumstances –and he questions Steph’s commitment to their own relationship when she bans Darren from the house. But as Libby becomes increasingly preoccupied with her memory of a perfect Drew, Steph begins to see Toadie’s point of view. Can she make Libby see that there is a problem?

Rachel has difficulties in her own love life this week, after discovering that handsome Angus is a new teacher at her school. Despite Rachel’s attempts to apologise for lying about her age, Angus refuses to speak to her. Later, he picks on Rachel and throws her out of a class. Rachel thinks that such an overreaction signals some sort of connection between them, and this appears to be borne out when they lock horns in a heated class debate. They realise they are attracted to each other intellectually as well as physically –but can they learn to suppress their feelings? Meanwhile, Janae is having trouble swallowing
her jealousy as Ned leaves town with Kirsten to attend their school reunion. Janae’s anxiety gets the better of her and she flies up to the reunion, only to discover that Ned and Kirsten have not arrived. Little does she know that their car has run out of fuel on the way and they are stranded in the middle of nowhere. Waiting for help to arrive, Ned and Kirsten begin reminiscing, and Ned is shocked when Kirsten kisses him. He manages to fend off her advances and the pair eventually arrive at the reunion, where Ned is surprised to find Janae waiting for him. Janae is unable to suppress her jealousy and lashes out at Kirsten in a public display of anger. Ned does not know how to convince her to trust him, and their relationship begins to disintegrate.

Also this week, mounting bills force Karl to consider a return to medicine at long last –but can he convince the hospital to give him his job back? Susan’s eyesight returns and she decides to push her body to the limit by going on a hike. Marco is confused by Carmella’s mixed signals when she asks him to slow things down. And Elle’s first day at the Erinsborough News does not go smoothly.
