Neighbours spoilers follow for the episode airing on Thursday 17 July.
Jane faces sinister suspicions
Neighbours favourite Jane Harris is secretly recorded on a spy cam next week, amid shock suspicions that she's mistreating Leo Tanaka's daughter Abigail.
Jane's recent foul moods prompt drastic action, as Leo desperately tries to find out what's really going on behind closed doors.
In upcoming scenes, Jane's son Byron Stone is first to raise the issue that she's been overly harsh with her comments recently.
Abigail then offers her own worrying insight, revealing that she's scared of Jane after a difficult time with her as a babysitter.

What to Read Next
"When Leo raises the issue with Jane, she claims that she has no idea what Abigail is talking about," our Neighbours source explains.
"Leo ends up blaming Abigail's jetlag, after their recent return from a trip in Europe. While Leo refuses to believe that Jane would behave inappropriately towards a child, his wife Krista can't help feeling there's more to it…"
When Jane takes care of Abigail once again at No.24, the young girl accidentally knocks food onto the floor. House-proud Jane erupts into anger, overreacting to the situation.
Later, Leo is shocked to see Abigail acting out a real-life punishment from Jane with her dolls.

More evidence piles up when Abigail is reluctant to go back to Jane's house, while Byron and Wendy Rodwell both mention Jane's recent bad temper. It suddenly dawns on Leo that Krista was right to be worried…
"Leo decides that he needs to know the truth either way, so he secretly sets up his tablet computer to record Jane without her knowledge," our insider adds.
"As far as Leo is concerned, he's simply protecting his daughter from potential harm as he monitors Jane's behaviour – but there could be devastating consequences if she ever finds out."
Wendy accuses Saskia
Wendy Rodwell is found locked in a store room at Erinsborough High, after being targeted by manipulative newcomer Saskia Ramsay.
A humiliated Wendy voices the theory that Saskia could be responsible, but the twisted teen denies it.
Chaos ensues as Jane takes Saskia's side and accuses Wendy of being unprofessional by jumping to conclusions.
Dex Varga-Murphy also backs Saskia, giving her a false alibi as he's certain that she wouldn't have been the prankster.
Saskia finds a new target
Saskia lands a new part-time job at Eirini Rising, but she immediately becomes fixated on her new manager Susan Kennedy.
This follows Saskia's previous brief obsession with Wendy, which turned troublesome when Wendy wanted space from her.
As Saskia looks for excuses to spend time with Susan, it looks like history could be repeating itself…
Terese and Krista take on a new project
Krista is told to create a full programme of events for the Lassiters brand's global conference – at the last minute as Paul has spontaneously put the hotel forward to play host.
Terese steps in to help Krista meet the tight deadline – grateful to have a distraction as she frets about her secret decision to sell Power Road.
