Jasmine will be there for her sister, instead of eloping to Columbia with Angel, and it seems all this talk of love overcoming obstacles may see Murray and Wendy reconciling after all. But this is Shortland Street, and we all know the wedding plans won't run smoothly. There's going to be a much greater challenge to face before it's happily-ever-after for Bella and Luke. Chris and Vasa will receive a saddening piece of news, too, and Lana will exacerbate Josh's discomfort by revealing his true feelings to Roimata.
Zac is revealed as one of the most manipulative creeps and terrifyingly clever assailants that Shortland Street has ever seen - which is saying something, considering Hayley's crazy mindgames with Chris, Rachel and Phoenix earlier in the year. Zac is playing TK, Josh, Roimata and Sarah like pawns in his own twisted game of chess, moving suspicions from one person to the other in order to keep his identity under wraps, and he seems unstoppable.
Exactly who his next victim will be, or what his end-game is, remains to be seen, but you can bet that Zac will play with all the wedding guests like a master puppeteer, and the mixture of alcohol, large SUVs and a forest setting will suit him perfectly.

Finale pick: Homeland
Even with Abu Nazir now dead, there are still many unanswered questions as this week's season two finale plays out. Little is known about the episode since it is screening in the United States this weekend. However, even though the terrorist kingpin has been taken out you can't help but think Brody still has something else cooking.
And although Carrie and Brody are lovers, with the way it ended last week are they about to go into business together, too? Because, after all, she would do almost anything for him. Or is he just relieved to have the burden of Nazir off his shoulders and to be free from his sham marriage?
And what of Saul? He's out of a job thanks to some paper-pushing thuggery from Estes. And are there some startling revelations to come about him, too? And what of mysterious Peter Quinn, who started off as repellent but is now more intriguing than ever?

Animal pick: Our World: March of The Dinosaurs
One for the little and big kids alike, this two-part docu-drama is set 65 million years ago during the Cretaceous period in the far north of Canada. Narrated by Stephen Fry, the film relates facts about dinosaurs that have been brought to light by recent discoveries in North America, including proof of the T. rex having feathers.
Using CGI effects, March of the Dinosaurs shows what these prehistoric beasts looked like, how they lived and what brought about their demise. It follows the journey of a young Edmontosaurus called Scar as he and his herd make the perilous trek south to warmer climes as the chilly Arctic winter starts to bite.
They encounter land and water predators, extreme weather and everything from volcanic wastelands to dangerously thin ice, which is not ideal terrain when you're one of the biggest creatures to walk the Earth.
