Number 32
Mrs. Mangel is doing the vacuuming. She turns around and gets a shock as Carl Banks is in the house. She threatens to call the police but Carl threatens her to keep her mouth closed.

He starts physically threatening her but Bronwyn comes in and scares him out of the house with an umbrella! Mrs. Mangel doesn't feel well at all; is she having another heart attack?

Beverly rushes out of the house to check on Mrs. Mangel, bumping into Henry who is, of course, just about to knock at the door.

HENRY: That's service; I haven't even knocked!
BEVERLY: Henry, I always try to be one step ahead of you!

Henry has come to collect his pay for painting the workshop fence and Helen tells him Jim would like him to cut the grass too. Henry says he will do it first thing in the morning and kisses his money; he knows just where it is going. Katie asks where but Henry says it's a secret.

Number 28
Mike tells Bronwyn she may as well leave now Jamie is asleep but Bronwyn says she's paid to be here until Des gets back. Henry burst in, making silly noises with his new metal detector.

The next morning, Bronwyn brings Mrs. Mangel a cup of tea. Mrs. Mangel is glad she learned how to make a proper cup of tea as some girls are more concerned with their careers; a pointed comment at Jane who is leaving for work on a Saturday. Bronwyn quietly tells Jane she thinks she is being a bit hard on Mrs. Mangel but Jane warns Bronwyn that she is milking her sympathy.

Workshop
A graffiti artist (Nick Page, but we don't know this yet) is finishing up some nice bright work on the workshop fence: "I used to be a werewolf but I'm alright nowoooooo. Stingray." Henry arrives and yells at him as he has just painted the fence. The artist runs off and Henry chases him.

Mike says he thinks she is overdoing it with Jamie. The graffiti artist charges through the complex with Henry chasing after him and escapes over a wall after tripping Henry up with a chair.

Coffee Shop
Jane is dressing Henry's wounds. Henry is mad about the fence but Mike says the guy probably spent just as long on the graffiti as he did painting the fence. Mike brings up the metal detector subject and says Henry is wasting his time. Henry says years ago his great- grandfather found some gold behind where Mrs. Mangel's house is now.

HENRY: Grandad told me that years ago...
MIKE: Oh not another Dan Ramsay story!

Jane advises Henry against disturbing Mrs. Mangel and gives him permission to check out the garden.

Number 26
