Number 24
Harold asks why Paul is so upset, it's just two people the same age just talking having a laugh. He wants to understand but he just can't. Paul asks him to just forget it because it doesn't matter. Harold thinks it quite clearly matter though and calls out to Tad in the kitchen, wanting to know how he feels about it. That maybe they should all discuss it but Paul doesn't want too. He apologises and takes it all back. Harold follows him into the kitchen saying there's nothing to take back. Tad says he knows how Paul feels. He feels weird seeing Harold with Francis. Harold can see, and compares his situation with the boys breaking up with their girlfriends and looking at other girls. Tad can't believe Harry could compare the two, it's totally different. Harold shoots back that they expect him to be different, that he's not suppose to appreciate the opposite sex's company. He asks them if it's because he's too old and just for the record he tells them that he does not think of Francis in those terms. He might be old but sex is not the domain of the young. The boys don't want to go there, and I don't really blame them! Harold expected a response like that from them, but he knew he would never get one like that from Madge. He leaves those two to contemplate what they just said.

Number 32
Matt waltzes and sits next to Leo on the couch. Leo notices that Matt got a nose ring. Matt looks happy that he noticed and asks how it looks. Maggie comes over and sits next to Leo, not too sure about it. Evan sits on the arm rest next to Matt and grabs Matt's head, commenting that it must've hurt. Leo asks if they stuck a needle in and Matt tells him no, they used a gun. He asks again what do they think and if they've got a problem with it. Evan doesn't have a problem, it's not his thing but it's a male display; Matt's doing it to attract women. Matt says he did it because he wanted too but Evan thinks that subconsciously he's doing it as a male display. Leo asks what happens if he gets a cold and boogers come out but Maggie tells him to be quiet. Matt asks his mum what she thinks... it isn't her thing but it's up to Matt. They both leave the room leaving a sunned Matt wondering if he's parents are in lala land.

Coffee Shop
Tad thinks Harold is feeling a bit guilty and Paul is happy he is. Tad says Harold is entitled to have a girlfriend but Paul thinks he got one a bit too soon. Trad doesn't even think Francis is his girlfriend, and Harold wouldn't lie to them about that. Paul can't forget about Madge in such a hurry though, she was like a mother to him and that Tad wouldn't understand. Tad does, between them they have gone through many mothers. Paul wonders if it's them so Tad jokes and says it's actually just Paul.

Number 32
Leo's complaining because he invited his friend to go somewhere with him but Evan won't allow it. They all congregate in the living room again with their ice creams. He thinks it makes them sound poor, Evan says they're not rich but they are doing just fine. Leo doesn't want him to go on about third world countries but he does. Matt pops a question about tattoos out of the blue. Evan doesn't think much of them. Maggie with a cup of coffee and her ice cream asks who's getting a tattoo so Matt replies that he's thinking of getting one. Maggie thinks he should let the nose ring heal first or he will be sore all over. Leo says tatts don't hurt and Maggie wants to know how he knows, there is no way you could stick a needle in someone's body and it not hurt. Matt sneezes and his nose ring on Leo's ice cream. Eww gross! The parents laugh while Leo complains. Eww.

Number 24
Harold's reading a letter when the boys come in, Tad going to have a shower so Paul can apologise to Harry. Harold says it's alright, it doesn't matter. It's just when Paul thinks about Madge being gone, he hates it. Harold does too and pats the sofa, wanting Paul to join him. Harold tells him the worst thing is he keeps getting mail addressed to her, mainly business things and he has to ring these people and tell them that Mrs Bishop has passed away. He hates hearing himself say those words but he has to or the letter will still come. It's a constant reminder that she's gone. Harold looks back up to Paul and pats him on the shoulder.

Number 32
Matt's not looking for his parent's approval, he just wants to know what they really care about. Evan thinks he needs to make up his own mind about things. Maggie says that he has no need to rebel again them, he should be glad that his dad doesn't give him any unreal demands. Matt doesn't think he makes and Evan tells him it's because he trusts him. And if Matt wants to shock him nose rings and tattoos won't do it, especially fake ones. Maggie tells Leo that both her and his father will be busy so he has to pick up Emily after school and that she told her to wait there for him. He's to stop this silly argument he's having with her. Matt offers to get her but Maggie says Leo is and that's final. They all leave Matt to himself and his fake ring.
