Neighbours spoilers: Leo Tanaka exposes Vance Abernethy's dodgy dealings!
Leo is not impressed when he discovers new business partner Vance is involved in a scam with a stolen race horse! Who is Vance planning to con?
Terese Willis is all of a quiver after her intimate late night run-in with ex-lover Vance Abernethy at Number 22. But the incident makes Terese more determined to break-up Vance's relationship with family relative Roxy Willis and send him packing from Erinsborough!
She wastes no time in warning Leo Tanaka to reconsider going into business with Vance at the Back Lane Bar. However, Leo doesn't take kindly to ex-girlfriend Terese meddling in his business affairs.
But maybe Leo should have heeded Terese's warning, as it's not long before he discovers Vance is in possession of a stolen race horse which he and girlfriend Roxy are planning to sell to a rich buyer!
Could Vance and Roxy's dodgy dealings mean BIG trouble for Leo and business at the bar?
Meanwhile, a guilty Chloe Brennan feels she needs to do some damage control with Kyle Canning, after blabbing that Kyle is still in love with his ex-girlfriend Amy Williams.
The revelation scuppered Kyle's dad Gary's plans to throw a surprise wedding for Amy, and now the couple's relationship is on shaky ground.
So Chloe encourages Kyle to apply for the tender of Karl Kennedy's tram, and asks her ex-lover Pierce Greyson to help Kyle with his business pitch while at the same time trying to get the scoop on whether Pierce still has feelings for her!
