But what will their closeness mean for her and Paul?
7-13 DECEMBER
In the wake of the distressing announcement at Nell’s party about the council ending the Foundation’s lease, Toadie, Nell, Terese, Jane, and Susan scramble to find solutions.
Throughout this, Terese’s sympathy and care for Toadie increases, while Paul bristles somewhat at the renewed closeness of Toadie and Terese.
As Jane and Susan do what they can to help solve the rental location issue for Toadie and Nell, they become increasingly curious about Paul and Terese’s rekindled relationship. But they struggle to get a straight answer from her.
After receiving news that Karl has been injured on the bike trip in Italy, Susan’s distress grows and while Karl is rushed into surgery to repair his badly broken leg, her loved ones urge her to fly to Europe so she can be by his side.
But when Susan feels she can’t leave the residents of Eirini Rising with no-one in charge, Terese forges a plan but needs to convince the residents to reinstate her as General Manager.
Rallying the troops, she gets Paul, Toadie and Harold to put their heads together and strategise. With the clock ticking, they decide to gather the residents so Terese can make a stirring, emotional case to win them over.
Tugging on heartstrings, Terese argues Susan and Karl have done nothing but care for the community of Eirini Rising and now it’s the residents’ turn to do the right thing.
Led by a cantankerous Moira, some residents are reluctant to reinstate Terese after her struggles with alcoholism and the accident she caused. But Harold, Paul and Toadie come through for Terese, firmly going into bat for the way she’s turned her life around, and swaying the vote in her favour.
Overwhelmed with relief, Susan heads off to be with Karl, deeply grateful and proud of Terese for the way she’s pulled herself back from the brink.
Meanwhile, romantic tension simmers between Paul and Terese, as he escorts her back to the place where she belongs, in command of the business she loves.
Overjoyed to be back on deck at Eirini Rising, Terese is particularly grateful to Paul and Toadie for the parts they played in getting her there. After agreeing to meet up for a catch-up, she warms Toadie by suggesting they’re well on the way to becoming friends again.
