Charlene accuses Henry of being the prowler - she thinks he's trying to get her out of the caravan so Sue can move in. Henry confesses that it's true - but he only did it for Charlene's own good(!) He just wanted them to be all together as a family again. Charlene is furious and says she's going straight back to the caravan.

HENRY: I guess I blew it.
MADGE: Yes, Henry, you certainly did! You've made her more determined than ever not to come home now!
HENRY: It's not my fault!
MADGE: Well, whose fault is it then?!

She says she knows Henry meant well, but it's no excuse. She heads off to work.

Charlene and Scott are having a cup of tea. He tells Charlene that he'd like to apply for the job of looking after her - he's sorry for being jealous of Warren before.

SCOTT: I was jealous because I love you.
CHARLENE: I've had a chance to think things over lately, and you know what? When you walked in on me and Warren the other day I'd just finished telling him that the only guy I cared about was you.
SCOTT: No kidding?
CHARLENE: No kidding.

They kiss.

Gail is not eating her dinner - she's not very hungry. Helen suggests some coffee and Gail apologises for not being a very good guest.

In the kitchen, Helen and Paul talk about Jeremy. Paul has the feeling that Gail doesn't entirely hate Jeremy, but the break- up must have been bad to affect Gail like this.

Waterhole
The stripper is leaving and Harold is still protesting to Madge. She tells him to shut up.

Some of the men start singing and Madge even joins in a bit. Rob has a good- natured hand around Madge's waist. Harold gets up and yells at him, telling him to release Madge, and that they should all stop acting like barbarians! Ivan gets up and confronts Harold, saying he's looking for trouble. Madge tries to break them up, but Ivan just calls Harold a sticky- beaked wimp! Finally, Jeremy steps in and suggests that they all have another drink, effectively dispelling the fight.

Madge begs Harold to go home - he's the one that needs looking after, not her!

When they've gone, Helen and Jim wonder why Gail is so tense about the racing car.

Waterhole
Paul and Gail come in - but the bucks party has moved off to a nightclub. Paul asks if there was any trouble and Madge is forced to tell him that things did get a bit tense, but that Jeremy managed to smooth things over.

When Madge has gone, Paul and Gail sit at a table. Paul wants to know what's up with Gail and Jeremy - he hates seeing her upset. Gail says that Jeremy is a charmer. She's still bitter after the break- up, even though it's been 18 months.

PAUL: You know what I think? I think you don't really hate Jeremy as much as you say you do.
