Number 28
Karl thought Darcy and Alice were the ideal couple but Darcy says they aren't as ideal as he'd like them to be - Karl and Susan on the other hand look perfect. Karl admits that there are plenty of ups and downs between him and Susan that Darcy and the rest of the world don't get to see. Karl thinks he has to remember why he got together with Alice in the first place. Darcy changes the subject onto Susan's return home and what's for dinner - Darcy is going to cook spinach cannelloni but there's none of that so he's going to make it with tuna. Thankfully there's no cannelloni so Darcy is forced to go shopping and Karl escapes the tuna.

Number 26
Flick asks Lyn whether the training has been helping. Lyn feels more confident and happy. Flick doesn't want to join her, and wonders why her mother has to go running with Joel. Lyn likes the company and wonders why she shouldn't.

Number 30
Lance is raging a little but Joel is laid back - Lou won't do it. Lance goes off to tell Allana and Toadie notices that Joel is more relaxed - maybe because he got away from Flick. Joel did indeed have fun diving and there were a lot of babes there - well, three or four. Joel suddenly remembers he has a training session to do. Toadie knows there weren't any babes.

Number 26
Flick is just going to stay in and watch a video (so 2001). Lyn suggests a film on the telly that she used to love.

Well, she won't give up until he admits how he feels.

Number 26
Joel and Lyn are stretching. Flick appears - she's decided to tag along with them!

Number 28
Susan wants to know what the boys got up to when she was away - rave parties, black masses etc - according to Karl. Darcy must've been working those nights. In actual fact Karl was working on his song and subjected it to Harold and Madge. Susan tries to talk about the cannelloni to get out of hearing it. She asks what it's called.

KARL: 'Light of My Life'.
SUSAN: Yes, honeybunch, what have you called it?
KARL: No, honeybunch, that's the title of the song.

Karl thinks that the spare room should be a studio, as he's put it to such good use. Susan begs to differ - her book will change the world and make them loadsa money, so she should have the room. Karl nominates Darcy to make the decision, but he's saved by the phone, which he psychically knows will ring before it even has! It's Alice and Darcy wanders off to talk. Karl admits to Susan that things aren't all lollipops and rainbows between Alice and Darcy at the moment.

Lou's Place
Drinking in one of the many businesses owned by their landlord, Joel, Lance and Toadie talk about Lou's threat. Toadie (and now tune-changing Lance) believe Lou is full of hot air and it'll all blow over. Lance points out that Lou would be too stingy to go through the rigmarole to get new tenants.

Dee and Tess come in and Dee joins the game of pool. Toadie discovers the Deb photos - Joel thinks he looks like a Mafia hitman.

Dee thinks that Joel is very choosy about who he dates.

Number 28
Darcy is telling Alice he's been really busy. He hangs up and Susan asks what's wrong with him and Alice.

Number 28
Darcy tells them that he was worried about it getting back to his mum, but Susan promises to keep it a secret. He and Alice don't seem to have the same dreams and beliefs anymore. Susan asks him if he loves her and he says he does. More than that, they're locked into a life together with the practice, and the same friends. Karl proposes it could be the seven year itch. Darcy wonders if he's right.

Number 30
Joel and Bob are listening to 'Lie' then Joel annoys Bob by turning it off and putting on what looks like 'Something for Kate' but might not be and then takes that out too. He picks up the Deb photos and looks at them thoughtfully.
