Pam, Doug and Cody are discussing the bike. Gaby comes in and tells them that she's made a decision about her work schedule. She can't do both the job and look after the baby, so she's going to give up the job.
GABY: Actually, Dad, I've already got another job.
CODY: Fast work, what's the job?!
GABY: Well, I'm afraid there's a downside. It means that Zac and I are going to be leaving Ramsay Street. The new job's in Darwin.
