JIM: ...er, yeah. Fay borrowed mine a while back and didn't return it. Who knows where she - or it is now.
MADGE: Haha, she probably flew off on it. The rake's yours Jim.

Lou then points out that Jim still has a blow heater he borrowed, and that Madge has been on about getting it back.

He knows his dad's life was messed up when his mum got pregnant, though Jim points out forcibly that Bob's mistakes were mostly his own. Jim tries to talk Todd into chatting things over again with Phoebe, maybe she's also having second thoughts? Todd asks why Jim has changed his mind - he was against them having the baby at the beginning. Jim confesses that he hadn't thought they were mature enough, and that he owes them an apology.

She tells him he may as well make the booking at Verity Valley. He says he has a confession first, he doesn't love her anymore. When this sinks in, he cracks a smile and admits he was telling a lie - which means that she's let off the hook. Madge hugs him and thanks him, but he tells her there'll be more bets coming.

Busy highway

Todd turns just in time to see the van before it hits him, he falls awkwardly to the ground, struggling for breath.
