Harold tells her she is doing the right thing by having the medical check up. However Mrs Mangel isn't convinced until Harold tells her he has a surprise for her.

She confesses to being rather taken with Ronald Coleman.

Outside the Coffee Shop
Scott and Charlene talk about their parents. They don't know what to call Jim and Madge; their respective in laws. They agree to talk it over with them. Mike arrives and introduces them both to Megan. Charlene is less then welcoming and Megan leaves to go to an appointment.

Mike: She's pretty isn't she?
Charlene: I've seen better

However she refuses to give her any more sleeping tablets and says she will teach her relaxation techniques.

Outside the Coffee Shop
Charlene and Mike are still bickering about Megan. Jim arrives and Charlene asks him if he can make the family conference tonight. He says he can't as he's taking Beverly out and asks Charlene if there's a problem. She explains that calling him 'Mr Robinson' seems a little formal but 'Jim' seems too informal. Jim agrees it's tricky and tells her he has come to look at her as a daughter, so if she wants to call him Dad that will be fine by him.

Megan returns and tells Mike she wants to put a deposit on a flat. Charlene asks Mike about the flat and is surprised to hear Mike is moving out of Ramsay Street. Mike says he hasn't told Des and Daphne yet.

Ramsays
Scott and Charlene are still discussing what to call their in laws. Charlene tells Scott it would feel weird calling Jim 'Dad' and Scott agrees. He says he has never called anyone else Mum apart from his Mum and feels it would be strange. Henry tells Charlene that their Dad is never around so it wouldn't matter if she called Jim 'Dad'. Charlene thinks that Fred still cares and reminds Henry about the cheque he sent for the wedding. Henry tells her that it bounced and says Madge covered it with her own money.

Harold comes over and tells Madge about the video he has rented for he and Mrs Mangel. Madge is furious. She tells him the street has been ignoring Mrs Mangel to try and stop her from being horrible, and now he has ruined it by treating her to a gift.
