Bob refuses and rushes off.

Number 24
Toby is holding his cat Fluffy, when Madge suggests he go back to Number 30 tonight and he agrees as all his stuff is there. Toby wants to stay at Mrs Burke's a bit longer, they're just getting used to each other and she'd get really sad if he left. Toby tells Madge it isn't that he doesn't want to live with her, he just doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, and Madge understands. Brenda tells Toby he'd better visit all the time or she might forget how to talk to men altogether. She can't think of a single man who she could invite to a crummy barbecue but she's told Vicki that she had stacks of boyfriends to choose from.

There's a knock at the door, and it's Lou. He hugs his big sis Brenda, but Madge isn't pleased to see him and asks why he followed her down here. Madge says there's no way she's getting in a relationship with him, and that he's wasted an air fare. Lou says Max Morton has asked him to look after his used car business while he's in Bangkok, so unless she has something against him helping a friend in need, he reckons he'll stay for a while.

Number 26
The police ask Helen whether Todd knows anything. She says Bob is a manipulator and he wouldn't tell Todd anything that didn't suit his own ends.

Sergeant Bowen say Todd may try to contact her, and ask her to let them know if she sees or hears anything. He thanks her for returning the stolen goods and thanks Helen for her cooperation.

Bob says at 9.30 tomorrow morning his mate will arrive with his truck and then sweet freedom. Todd wonders if Bob thinks of anyone other than himself and says he's made a great career out of conning people. Bob apologises to Todd, he didn't mean to let him down and says they can try again.

She asks him to think about it, but shouldn't tell her where Bob is as she doesn't want to know. Todd apologises for getting her involved, he's an idiot for believing him. He says Bob should never have had kids, he can't even look after himself. Todd says if he ever has kids he'll look after them properly, and won't treat them the way Bob's treated him.

Brenda serves Lou some cereal, and tells him while he's down here he should spend some time with Guy, he needs a father. Brenda leaves for work. Lou smiles at Madge.

LOU: Playing hard to get, aren't you?
MADGE: Lou, I am not playing anything. I told you in Queensland, I'm not interested, and you coming down here and making a pest of yourself is not going to convince me otherwise.
LOU: I don't want to be a pest, I want to be your husband.
MADGE: Fat chance!

Lou tells Madge she can't mourn Harold forever. Madge says its own been a few months and if she were to marry again it wouldn't be to Lou. She wouldn't do that to Harold. Lou tries to convince her again, and she says if he doesn't stop hounding her, she'll thump him! He backs off and promises not to bring it up again, but he invites her out to dinner with Max Morton and him. She's a businesswoman and could tell him about local business. Madge agrees.

Faye and Pam arrive and hand Doug the dresses as Pam rushes back to work. Faye shows Brenda her engagement ring.

LOU: Who is that?
DOUG: That's my sister. She thinks she's descended from royalty

Brenda looks like she couldn't care less about the ring, and flatly says congrats to Faye.

PAM: I hate it! And I'm sorry Faye I'm taking it back to the shop and getting something half decent.
