Des is still feeling guilty about what happened but Jane doesn't want him to feel bad. Des offers to order a pizza for dinner but Jane says that Mrs. Mangel will probably be expecting her home soon. Des says that sometimes he feels lonely in the evening when he is on his own, so Jane agrees to stay with him.
Mrs. Mangel's
The next morning Mrs. Mangel comes running out of her bedroom shouting for Jane. When Jane comes out it, it turns out that they have been robbed. . . . of Sedrick the garden gnome. Mrs. Mangel is 'shocked' that Bouncer let someone take Sedrick and Jane says that it was probably someone Bouncer that knew otherwise he would have barked the place down.

Mrs. Mangel says that Jane is talking 'rubbish'.

Gail reminds Henry to go to their backyard to do some cutting in doing so Henry calls her a 'slave-driver' and turns around only for the garden fork he is holding to hit Sedrick the Gnome right in the neck causing the decapitation of his head. Ha! "Oh no . . . " Helen sighs.
