The kids explain themselves to Ruth and while she can appreciate the gesture, they went about it the wrong way, and orders them to return the bike to Lisa. Phil arrives looking for Hannah because she was supposed to check in first after school. He orders her home but she needs to stay and sort the bike, so Ruth comes to her rescue and says it is a job for her so that Phil will let her stay.

With the kids away, Phil tries to seduce Ruth who is dressed only in a bathrobe (she was in the bath earlier and why Lisa didn't get her first time around) but the chances of being caught are too high, so they agree to arrange a date for that evening if they can get rid of all the kids.

Hannah and Lance explain themselves to Lisa and while she is grateful for them repairing the bike, she lectures them against doing anything similar in the future before telling them to disappear. With the duo away, Lisa admits to Jo that she thought the kids had it in for her but fingers crossed she's now nipped it in the bud.

He knocks her back as he has maths homework to do but they come to a deal - he won't leave his room and she'll pay for him to go to the cinema the following evening.

Phil and Ruth are pashing away on the sofa when he pulls back because he thinks he has heard a noise. Ruth reassures him that there is nothing here but 2 seconds after they resume pashing, Lance creeps past because he can hear Bonnie scratching at the door and she is not amused at being interrupted. The mood has now been ruined and they decide to head to the pub instead of having a romantic night in.

Pub
Lou can't stop laughing at Karl's misfortune with the car being repossessed. Phil and Ruth come in and but their alone time is ruined when Karl comes over to sit with them, going on about the car being repossessed. Phil suggests that he uses Mal's Ute in the meantime and Susan uses his car, which he seems to like the idea of since he offers to buy them a drink.

No. 26
Ruth is happy with the progress Helen is making and jokes that she could have participated in the recent walk. They start talking about their date last night and the fact they find it hard to get time alone from the kids. Helen suggests a picnic, which Ruth seems to like.

Ramsay Street
Karl eventually manages to get into Mal's Ute and Lou stops him as he heads down the street to see how he got on with the finance company. He explains that the only way to see the car again is to pay off what was owed and to keep paying the other instalments, so he's decided to quit and Susan can have his car and he will use the Ute. Lou questions him if that is a wise decision - doctors shouldn't be seen in Ute's and offers instead to hunt for a new car for him but Karl knocks back the offer.

Ruth wraps up Helen's physio session when Phil finally manages to crawl out of bed. Bearing in mind Helen's suggestion from earlier, Ruth invites him on a picnic since nothing can go wrong, and Phil readily agrees.
