When we left the Outback last night things were tense but what did Neighbours deliver in its final episode for this week?
Thursday’s episode began with Heath arriving at the house where Mel and Toadie were being held, not knowing that Holly was hiding inside
Meanwhile, Toadie had managed to loosen the ropes that were holding him and Mel hostage, when they hear a noise outside they start screaming for help, not realising it is Holly Hoyland wandering around outside and she opens the door to the house, freeing Toadie and Mel, who run off into the wilderness.
It’s here where things get dark because Heath is losing the plot Desperate to escape from Heath, she climbs a ladder, but he follows her up to the top. After a brief moment where it looks like maybe Heath is softening around Holly, he pushes her into a grain silo and it appears that Holly might be the big death teased in Outback Week thankfully Mel rescues her when she returns to the house as Heath grabs hit rifle from the car.
A tired, hungry and thirsty Toadie isn’t having any success in finding anyone to help. He wades through a creek, unaware that crocodiles are in the water just metres away from him he narrowly avoids being eating and continues his quest.
Haz and Mackenzie finally find the house where Holly and Heath were staying they see Melanie and a freshly-saved Holly running towards them… followed by Heath in his Ute.
Heath grabs his gun and Mel and Holly run Heath randomly fires into the bush Haz dives for cover. He finds Melanie hiding and tells her to go back to the house, it is where she will be safest. He continues to track Heath, hearing more shots.
Heath stops running when he reaches the edge of the creek, he realises he can go no further. He puts his gun down and pleads with Holly to come out of hiding.
She does but pushes him back into the creek where the crocodile is ready for lunch and Heath becomes the death in Outback week.
But the drama isn’t over as Mel finds Mack shot and we check back on Toadie At an old train track, Toadie finally gives in to his body needing rest its here his life flashes before his eyes and we see all the happy relationships he had with all his wives and the heartache that came with it
“Don’t go. Take me with you. The visions end and Toadie’s eyes close as the credits roll on a perfectly written Jason Herbison instalment.
Will Toadie and Mack survive i guess we will have to wait till next week to find out.
