Roxy (Zima Anderson) and Kyle (Chris Milligan) are still in shock after losing their last chance at biological children. However, Neighbours has a spicy little twist in store for them.
They struggle for compensation from the clinic with the support of Sheila (Colette Mann) and Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) in order to channel their feelings. But it won’t be enough to compensate for the baby they won’t be able to have.
They accept the fertility clinic’s offer, knowing that resisting any longer will not bring them back what they’ve lost. Sheila gives them a party to show them how much they are loved in the middle of their anguish at having to change their family plans. The turnout is excellent, and the event should be heartwarming, but it has the opposite effect, as the pair withdraws into themselves, as Sheila had hoped. They disclose to their startled pals that they have decided to depart since they are unable to keep their truth any longer.
Sheila, for one, is stunned by their unexpected decision. She attempts to persuade them otherwise out of desperation, but she discovers Gemma is behind their decision since she has promised them a house, and how could they refuse? Sheila pledges to persuade them to reconsider their views, but she feels alone when she discovers that everyone else is in favour of their relocation. Gemma tries to persuade her that this isn’t her decision any longer, but is taken aback when, rather than dropping it, Sheila tugs at her heartstrings, urging her to withdraw her offer. Sheila complies under emotional duress, but she hadn’t counted on Kyle’s super-sleuthing prowess, as he discovers her almost immediately. Is it possible that she mistakenly pushed them to leave rather than forcing them to stay?
The stress and strain of making a decision, on the other hand, takes its toll on the newlyweds. Roxy is beside herself as the two have a massive bust up. She tells her mother that everything appeared to get emotionally charged so soon, and Gemma realises she needs to deal with Roxy — she’s pregnant.
Roxy is taken aback and delivers the news to Kyle, who is ecstatic. He now sees their new life in Darwin as a big plus, and he believes that they should leave as soon as possible. With that, he and Roxy set about putting their plan to start over into action.
Scenes will begin airing on Channel 5 on Monday, April 4th.
