Joel has come to invite Anne to the beach. She says she'd love to, but Lance reminds her that she's taking Lily out today. She suggests that she and Lily call at the beach for a little while to see them.
When Joel has gone, Lance rolls his eyes.
LANCE: What's an old lady going to do at the beach, eh, build sandcastles? She going to whack on her bikini and do a bit of sunbathing?
But Anne is calling Caitlin to tell her that Joel has asked her out. Caitlin is excited and asks if she's told Amy yet?
LANCE:(walking past) You girls are sick!
Car Yard
A customer tells Nick that her car doesn't look very clean. She complains to Lou about it. He offers her a coffee while Nick gives her car another coat. Nick says there's nothing that can be done to make an old car look like new and walks off - quitting his job!

Amy is excited about Anne and Joel. She wants to gatecrash the beach party but Caitlin thinks that would be uncool. They talk about how much of a man magnet Anne is, and decide to go shopping to console themselves(!)
Nick comes in and Caitlin tells him that Susan called with a message that Erinsborough High are looking for someone to fill in for two weeks. He is pleased.
Beach

No.30
Nick is going to start at Erinsborough High tomorrow, but isn't sure what he'll be teaching yet(!) Toadie is looking more relaxed today.
Nick rings Susan and she tells him she'll be teaching Maths and...Art. He's fine on the Maths, but he can't draw! Toadie tells him not to worry - just put a bowl of fruit in front of the kids and tell them to draw it(!) Apparently it's going to be Art Appreciation though! He wonders if Lou would give him his car- washing job back(!)
Beach
Anne and Joel are talking, and Bill is watching them from a distance with a pained look on his face.
LILY: She's such a nice girl. I can't for the life of me imagine how he could be so beastly to her.
BILL: Who?
LILY: Her ex- boyfriend. She seems rather keen on this chap, Joel.
BILL: Yes.
LILY: Perhaps there's a new romance in the offing. It's just lovely here.
BILL: Yeah.
He still looks pained.
Coffee Shop
Amy and Caitlin are back from shopping.
CAITLIN: I feel a bit guilty.
AMY: Of course, you're supposed to! Shopping's like chocolate, it's no good unless you feel bad about it!
She's bought a dress but doesn't know where she's going to wear it. She suggests that they go out to a club tonight to see Dave Graney (whoever he is). Caitlin points out that they're underage, but Amy says they'll easily get in!
No.32
Nick and Toadie are visiting Lance. Lance says he'll come and visit Nick in the staffroom(!) They ask Lance what he remembers about Year 9 Art, but he didn't do it - Anne did, but she's out for the day. He suggests that they have a look at some of Anne's books.
Beach
