Matt is moaning to Lee about the loss of the common room. He's excited about the petition, though. Lee says there are no jobs in the paper, so Matt tells her to talk to Joe. Lee doesnt think so - she doesn't have any experience. But Matt doesn't think that it takes a lot to pull out a few weeds(!)

Hilary comes in and Matt tells her about saving the common room. She won't sign the petition - she doesn't think it's a good cause. In her opinion, the common room serves as a social club and they should work in the library! Hilary says all the petition will do is get him a reputation as a trouble-maker.

Madge is on the phone to work saying that Gloria won't be in today because she's too shaken. Gloria comes out in her dressing gown and Madge makes her a cup of tea. Madge thinks that the bombings are related to the forthcoming court case. She thinks that Rob's mate who sold the stolen parts is to blame and Gloria admits that she's right. She's had a note warning her to keep her mouth shut. Madge says that she must call the police - Gloria could have been killed when her car ran off the road. Gloria says she knows what she's doing though. She says she's going to go to work anyway.

The Waterhole
Paul tells Madge that he's worried about Gloria being on her own at home. He suggests that she come and stay with him until the trial is over. Gloria is pleased, but says she wouldn't want to impose. Paul says he'd welcome the company - she'd be doing him a favour. Gloria accepts gratefully.

Lee is sitting on the pavement. She tells Matt that she wants to leave the job with Joe, but he won't hear of it - they'll go and see him later. Matt says that they have to go and pick up her clothes too, but Lee isn't keen to see her parents.

Mike comes up on his motorbike and tells them that Hilary is the brain behind the withdrawal of the common room. Matt realises that's why Hilary was so dead against the petition.

Robinsons
Helen is glad that Jim and Lucy have made up. Lucy comes out and says she's decided not to go out with Nick after all - she'd rather spend her time with Jim and Helen.

Joe and Kerry are having a cup of tea. Kerry starts trying to tell him something again. She says sometimes people make a mess of things when their heart was in the right place.

JOE: Kez, will you stop beating around the flamin' bush. Just say what you want to say.
KERRY: I'm Dear George!

Joe doesn't believe her, but she tells him she did it for the extra money. Joe is cross - it was the column that told him and Harold to make up. Kerry says she's quit already. Joe pretends to look cross but suddenly starts to laugh. He pashes Kerry and tells her she's a dag(!)

Matt is still helping Lee to look for a job. Lee is starting to be a bit shirty though - it feels like Matt is running her whole life. He hasn't done anything wrong, but she can do some things on her own. They start to bicker and Matt says he did it because he likes her. Lee says he's got a funny way of showing it, and with that he kisses her. Lee walks off without a word.

MATT: I can't believe I just did that.
