SPOILERS FOR NEIGHBOURS, 03-07 NOV'08 (5517-5521)


Miss Kennedy is furious when Mr.Fitzgerald grabs her at school & kisses
her, so he refuses to mark Rachel's essay since Henderson wrote it. Tyler
prevents Angus from working at the gym, with young people there. Reluctant
to ride with Lucas, Libby describes her terrible accident on Stephanie's
motorbike eight years before. Having emptied Rachel's bank account, Angus
agrees to sell his story to Paul in exchange for some groceries. As Daniel
complains about Lucas, Jarrod realises that they're brothers.

On a speeding motorbike, Libby's trust in Lucas enables her to cling on
to him, rediscovering the joy of living in the moment. Declan wimps out at
the tattoo shop - but Bridget is proud of the single dot on his arm. After
Libby is phoned by Daniel, she's shocked to be dumped by Lucas. Since Angus
is a criminal, miserable Rachel has to sell her story to the newspaper for
them to get any money, although Elle is very sympathetic. When Libby walks
in on both Fitzgerald boys fighting, Jarrod blurts out their secret.

A betrayed Libby wants nothing more to do with either Lucas or Daniel.
Paul slyly reworks Elle's balanced article to 'young lovers persecuted by
family, friends & the world' which incenses Susan but gratifies Angus. At a
Parent-Teacher evening, Steve & Miranda present a united front for Bridget,
who has been skipping classes with Declan - while Mr.Fitzgerald (who is now 
Acting Senior Head) begins formal proceedings against Rachel for cheating, 
and the only Kennedy who believes she wrote her own essay is Libby.

That night, Susan at last reads the excellent essay, recognises Rachel's
writing style, then tearfully apologises to her step-daughter. Mickey warns
Miranda via webcam that he's being neglected, with Ned always at Kirsten's
bedside. Annoyed by the reconciliation, Angus tells Rachel they are moving
to Adelaide. Libby accuses Daniel of waging a personal vendetta. On the
road, Rachel at last comes to her senses, kisses Angus goodbye, sends him
on his way, then tearfully returns to the bosom of her family.

Daniel tells Libby how he's always fought with his brother, then nearly
killed him in a motorbike race. Paul riles Susan with a series of articles
about her family. For Bridget's sake, Steve comes home to Miranda - but not
the marital bed. When Libby sees Lucas leaving Elle's house in the morning,
he insists they just talked about her & Oliver. Declan's hopes for sex with
Bridget are dashed since she goes home to her parents. After Libby chooses
Ben over the warring brothers, Daniel angrily goes to blame Lucas.
