Leo’s plans for revenge following the release of Mishti’s explicit video backfire when he instigates a vicious brawl.
Has Leo (Tim Kano) just ruined Mishti’s (Scarlet Vas) shot at justice?
This week in Neighbours, Mishti’s racy video is out there for everyone to see, thanks to her unscrupulous one-time fling Dilhan (Kyle Hazebroek).
The mortified policewoman is determined to hold her head high and move on with her life. That is, until she learns Dilhan has been released from jail.
“She’s trying to get everything back on track,” Scarlet, 22, tells TV WEEK.
But the news Dilhan has been granted bail leaves the cop devastated.
“She just feels defeated,” Scarlet explains. “She’s very angry with the whole situation.”
Mishti just wants the nightmare to be over.
Furious at the injustice, a supportive Leo decides to take matters into his own hands. But will his chivalry end in disaster?
After learning it was Dilhan’s rich father who bailed him out, Leo turns to Toadie (Ryan Moloney) for legal advice.
However, Toadie explains that unless Mishti’s aggressor does something to have his bail revoked, he’s a free man.
With this in mind, Leo hatches a plan to provoke Dilhan into an argument, in the hope he will assault him.
But the tables are turned on Leo when mouthy Dilhan gets under his skin, causing Leo to throw a punch.
In the scuffle, Leo accidentally hits an innocent bystander – Ned Willis (Ben Hall) – and Dilhan flees unscathed.
Ned (far right) intercepts Leo’s lunge.
Poor Mishti. It looks like well-meaning Leo has only made things worse.
Neighbours airs weeknights, 6:30pm, on Eleven.
