No.22
Libby is reading Lolly a story. Darren comes back and tells her that things haven't gone very well with Sondra and he's fed up of her trailing him. He doesn't know what to do - at any point she could just blow the deal with her father.
Toadie staggers in with a load of clothes and offers to take Lolly to bed, saying he's got a new CD for her - The Undead Hitmen.
No.24

Anne and Toadie wish Billy luck in the trial.
ANNE: I hope he'll be OK.
TOADIE: Don't worry, he swims like a fish...he looks like a fish...
ANNE: He does not look like a fish!

Libby and Darren are packing a picnic when Sandra pops around. She tells Darren that she's changed her ideas about the bathroom and he'll have to ring the supplier straight away. She wants brass fittings now instead.
Darren tells Sondra that Libby is coming to work with him today and Sondra says it's great as she could do with another woman's opinion on colours for the bathroom.
Swimming Pool
Anne and Toadie are cheering Billy on, but he just loses the race - by about half a finger!
The coach tells Billy that he swam well, and even though he came second, he knows that Billy hasn't actually had any formal coaching. The bloke who won, Daniel, has had professional coaching for two years. He tells Daniel and Billy that he's going to re-run the race in half an hour with just them.
COACH:(to Billy) I reckon you're capable of beating him. You just have to tune up your technique a bit.
He talks to Billy about breathing, like breathing on every other right hand stroke.
Coffee Shop
Madge has bought Paul an electric guitar. Harold is chuffed and says that Paul will be thrilled. Madge says that hopefully it will make Paul realise that she's not a total monster(!)
Swimming Pool
The race is being re-run. Anne and Toadie are cheering and so is Caitlin. This time, Billy just wins. The coach is very impressed with Billy and says he'll improve even more with proper coaching.
BILLY: You mean...?
COACH: Good to have you in the squad.
BILLY: Thank you!
Caitlin excitedly hugs Billy and Anne dosn't look too impressed.
TOADIE: Look out Sydney, here comes Billy-boy!
Sondra's house

Libby goes out to Darren who says he's making good progress now that Sondra isn't breathing down his neck. Libby says she'll have to leave soon though, she's too bored!
When Libby has gone, Sondra comes up to Darren.
SONDRA: I can't understand why you would be with her when you can have me!
DARREN: Will you cut it out?!
No.24
Harold and Madge give Paul the electric guitar. He's very pleased with it and says he'll practise all the time. Paul starts playing and Harold and Madge look rather alarmed at the modern music!

Swimming pool
The coach tells Billy and Daniel that when they're dressed they'll have a meeting to talk about Sydney. Anne and Toadie come over to Billy and congratulate him. Anne says she'll wait until he's finished the meeting, but he tells her he'll see her at home.
No.22
Darren is worried that Sondra will put her father off him doing the renovation job. Just then, Sondra calls around. She's furious and threatens him, but Darren says he's sick of hearing about her father and she can do what she likes. Libby and Darren dare her to ring her father and get him down there, but she stalks out instead.
When Sondra has gone, Libby says she kind of feels sorry for Sondra, her behaviour seems very weird.
No.24
