Beverly is following Helen's Christmas pudding recipe but it doesn't look right. Jim says Christmas was one of Helen's favourite times and Katie is sad Helen won't be able to share it with them this year. Beverly says they need to keep up the visits and talking to Helen. Todd is finding it hard so Beverly suggests he make a tape of familiar sounds instead.

JIM: Be careful not to tape anyone that doesn't know they're being taped... we can do without that kind of drama in Ramsay Street!

Todd says he will start tomorrow because he's finished school. Katie isn't happy that she still has to go to school and be in the play with Toby. Jim says she's lucky Joe didn't get angry with her over Toby's black eye. Katie says Joe was more upset with Toby for letting a girl hit him!

Number 32
Toby has a steak on his black eye. Joe is wondering what his mates will say and Toby feels stupid.

JOE: Yeah, well, it's nothing compared to the shiner your mum gave me once!
TOBY: She did?
JOE: Yeah, she's got a mean right hook that one!

Joe plans to teach Toby to defend himself and asks what he wants for tea. Toby doesn't want the steak! Mark brings Jane home and attempts his best Aussie "g'day mate" to Joe. Mark has a picnic in a surprise location planned for tomorrow.

Another problem is solved as the bank is clearing the cheque for the figurines this morning so he can pay Bess' medical bills. Todd comes in and starts recording them talking about how their problems this year have brought them closer together. They start kissing and so Todd clears his throat.

Bouncer is helping Joe round up sticks to burn. Edith appears on her balcony and tells Joe she doesn't want his foul smoke polluting her washing. Joe tells her she wants to see about getting a dryer.

EDITH: I am from the country, Mr. Mangel. We don't believe in putting clean laundry into electric boxes. We like our washing to dry and blow in God's good air as nature intended!
JOE: Oh yeah? Well it so happens that I'm picking up some of nature's droppings here, lady, you might say. Most of it's blown across from your side of the fence anyway so if you get back on your broomstick and buzz off I'll get on with it!

Edith threatens to go the council but Joe says they might like to have a look at her wiring system too. Todd appears with his tape recorder and they put on their friendly act again.

Picnic spot
The horse and carriage brings Jane and Mark to a secluded spot for their "picnic" which includes a table, chairs, and a waiter.

Number 26
Todd is listening to his recordings and does an impression of Edith. Katie bursts in and says she's never going back to that school. Toby kissed her and it was gross! He has been eating garlic all day deliberately and it wrecked the play. She has to go and clean her teeth ten times so she doesn't smell like Toby! Todd rewinds the tape and plays back what Katie has just said. Katie tells him he's supposed to let people know he's recording them, but she doesn't mind if it helps Helen get better.
