SPOILERS: THIS ARTICLE REFERENCES THE UNMISSABLE DRAMA IN THE EPISODE OF NEIGHBOURS SET TO AIR ON MONDAY, JANUARY 6TH
2024 ended with a bang, literally, as in the show’s season finale we saw a crazed driver speeding down Power Road with Sadie and Sebastian in the middle of the street and Max, seeing the danger, rushing to their aid. As Max ran into the road, the screen faded to black and viewers heard a thud and screams…
As Neighbours returns for the 2025 we learn that everyone survived the incident, but the driver sped away leaving people laying in the street. With just minor injuries and shock, Sadie is relieved and thankful to Max for jumping and saving her.
With the recent tension between the two after Max expressed his feelings for Sadie, this was a moment of reconnection. Thankful for risking his life, Byron and Sadie decide to offer an olive branch to Max and tell him that he can stay living at No.32. Max is happy to be welcomed back to the share house, but privately worries that he was the target of the hit and run driver. Once the driver is captured, Max sneaks off to see who it is, but it is no one he recognises… maybe he wasn’t the target afterall.
Sebastian wasn’t so lucky and is rushed to hospital with more serious injuries after being hit by the car. Krista is devastated to hear that Sebastian is in hospital and quickly finds out that the driver of the car had a picture of Seb on his phone. Seb was the target.
Krista also discovers that Sebastian had recently returned the money he had taken from her to pay off the loan sharks and instantly feels guilty that she forced Seb to choose between their friendship or money and Seb returning the cash could have been what triggered the attack.
Krista makes an emotional apology, regretting that she didn’t take the danger he was in seriously enough. Leo also apologises for inadvertently giving away Seb’s whereabouts.
Sebastian gracefully rejects their apologies, he realises that he never gave them reason to believe his claims and admits that as soon as he took the money from Krista he knew he had made the wrong decision.
Reunited, Krista pledges to fully support Sebastian in his recovery. Is he a changed man?
