Toadie and Joel meet by the gate. Joel reminds Toadie that Dione is bringing Carrie for his benefit. Toadie suggests making a play for Dione, to leave Carrie free for Joel (yes, yes, yes! - Bouncer). Joel says he doesn't want to complicate matters. Toadie says Joel wouldn't know complicated if it bit him on the bum. Carrie arrives alone and says that Dione must be running late. They decide to go in and leave her to find them. Joel and Carrie start walking in the gate, and Joel looks back to ask Toadie if he's coming. Toadie says 'why?' and Joel points at him as if to say 'you'll keep'. Toadie waits by the gate

Anne asks if it's that obvious. Libby says it's funny, she's spent half her childhood wanting to throttle him, and now he's going.....
Down in the garden, Bill chases Toadie before running past Karl and Susan who comment on how real it's becoming, how in a way it's forever. Tess jumps in the pool and makes a big splash. Karl and Susan take it as a cue to lighten up. Karl says underneath her exterior lurks a true party animal.

As they leave, they stop and Carrie thanks him for a great time. He brings up what she said about the planets aligning, and starts kissing her neck. He kisses her on the lips. She pauses and says 'This is all wrong' 'Yeah, I know' says Joel and they continue kissing.
When they stop kissing, Joel asks if it feels weird. She says it does and Lance walks in. it's obvious something has happened, but what he doesn't say, he asks if they're going to the pub and tells them Carrie's 'friend Dione's there'.

Anne says they just have to look at the long term. They say how fun the day was. Anne starts crying and says how they'll be friends forever and they'll stay in touch, but it hardly ever happens.

SUSAN: Great, I'm meant to condense a life time of devoted love into a 30 second soundbite.
BILL: Well, mum, you're not an English teacher for nothing.
She gives him a hug and he says he'll still need both of them. Karl says they love him and they all hug.
