Check out what happened in The Breaker Upperers!
In the world of "The Breaker Upperers", two women, Jen and Mel (Mel is a free spirit, always ready to take on new challenges), have built an unconventional agency in Auckland, helping people sever ties with their partners. Their unorthodox methods often involve disguises, as seen when they impersonate police officers to inform Anna that her husband has met his untimely demise. In reality, he's hiding in plain sight, waiting for the perfect moment to emerge. This ruse allows Jen and Mel to navigate the complexities of relationships, while also providing a unique window into their own experiences.
Their friendship dates back to their twenties, when they discovered that they had shared a boyfriend, Joe (who would later reappear in their lives with his wife and children). Although Mel has long since moved on, Jen remains fixated on Joe, still carrying a torch for him after all these years. Meanwhile, Mel finds herself drawn to Jordan, a teenage client struggling to break free from the clutches of his aggressive girlfriend, Sepa. As Mel and Jordan grow closer, they join forces with Jen to stage an intervention, culminating in a confrontation that leaves Sepa's gang stunned. The aftermath sees Mel and Jordan embarking on a romantic journey together, much to Jen's dismay.
In another twist, Jen and Mel cross paths with Anna once more, still under the guise of police officers. This time, they form a bond over shared interests, much to Jen's chagrin. Anna implores them to reveal her husband's file, which only adds fuel to their charade. However, things take a turn when an officer mistakes them for strippers and requests a lap dance. The revelation sends Anna fleeing in disgust, prompting Mel to apologize profusely. But Anna refuses to forgive them, decrying the morality of their actions.
As tensions simmer, Mel begins to question the ethics of their business, much to Jen's dismay. This internal conflict stems from Jen's deep-seated resentment towards Mel for playing a role in her own failed relationship with Joe all those years ago. The rift between them grows wider when Mel starts to reevaluate her involvement in "The Breaker Upperers", sparking a heated confrontation that ultimately drives a wedge between the two women.
Meanwhile, Jen finds herself drawn back into the fold of her past, scheduling a dinner date with Joe. But as she declares her eternal love for him, he reveals his own philandering ways, leaving Jen reeling. Though initially dismissive of her advances, Joe eventually confesses that he's grown up and moved on, but not before delivering a stinging rebuke that further erodes Jen's already fragile emotional state.
As Mel's relationship with Jordan (actor name) continues to blossom, she begins to realize that her partner's age-old innocence and naivety are traits that both charm and hinder him. Despite his genuine kindness and caring nature, Jordan remains stuck in a state of romantic reverie, still pining for the elusive Sepa. The news of Jen's pregnancy serves as a catalyst for introspection, as she grapples with the uncertainty surrounding her future with Jordan.
Seeking guidance from Sepa, Jen enlists her support in navigating the complex web of emotions and responsibilities that accompany motherhood. Meanwhile, at the local pub, Jordan is basking in the glory of his recent contract to play rugby for the Gold Coast Titans. Mel's presence at the celebration serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges that lie ahead.
As Sepa and her entourage arrive on the scene, Jen finds herself mustering the courage to declare her love for Jordan, apologizing for past transgressions and acknowledging the need for personal growth. The air is filled with the sweet sounds of music as Sepa and her cohorts serenade Jordan, while Jen breaks into song with Mel, celebrating their enduring friendship.
With Mel's unwavering support, Jordan comes to realize that his rugby dreams must take precedence over his personal desires. He ultimately reunites with Sepa, and Jen and Mel are able to put the past behind them, forging a new path forward.
In the end credits, it is revealed that Jen and Mel have transformed their agency into a haven for those seeking guidance through life's most tumultuous moments - the make-ups and break-ups that shape our experiences. Anna has forgiven Mel, and their friendship is rekindled. Jordan, now based on the Gold Coast, is seen beaming with joy as he spends quality time with his infant daughter, a constant reminder of the sacrifices he made to pursue his passion.
