Harold and Toby are putting on their Scout uniforms. Toby and Kerry show Harold Joe's "abstract art". He says it has a remarkable resemblance to a pile of junk!
When Harold and Toby have gone, Matt comes in. He tells Kerry that he's having trouble finding housing - he might move back in with the Robinsons. He's not sure though - Jim and Beverly might need some space after recent events. Kerry invites Matt to move in with them instead, until the baby comes. He's a bit takenaback but thanks Kerry profusely. She says they can use the extra money and Joe will be fine about it.

Helen is explaining the situation with Beverly to Clarrie
HELEN: Fetal demise, miscarriage, it all amounts to the same thing - the baby is dead.
Clarrie sympathises and says that Beverly must be devastated. Helen has decided to give Jim and Beverly some space. She wonders what this is going to do to Jim and Beverly. Beverly has been through so much - she's already had a miscarriage, and then lost Rhys, and now this...how will she cope? It could be the last straw for Jim and Beverly's marriage. Clarrie tells her not to jump the gun. He tells Helen that he'll always be there for her, any time she needs him.
No.26
BEVERLY: Jim, there is no explanation for why our baby died. These things happen. I have to believe it was nature's way of saying there was something wrong.
JIM:(after a pause) So...what's the next step?
BEVERLY: I go to the hospital tomorrow and they'll...induce the baby.
JIM: Oh, no.
BEVERLY: I don't know how I'm going to handle this!
JIM: I know. I do know.
BEVERLY: I was hoping that this baby would bring us back together.
JIM: Darling, we *are* together.
BEVERLY: No! I mean, together!

Joe is working on his abstract art masterpiece while Toby plays with the kitten. Kerry says she'll try to sell the kitten on the weekend and maybe Joe could sell his sculpture too.
JOE: Get real, Kerry! They're not going to be able to afford something like this, these refugees from the sixties, this is art!
KERRY: Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realise, of course!
JOE: Yes, I'll talk to Helen about how much I can get to flog it.
KERRY: I don't care what you do with it, as long as you keep it off the table!
Kerry breaks the news that Matt is moving in and Joe doesn't look too pleased - he says he likes their privacy.
JOE: What if I want to walk around in the nuddie?
KERRY: Joe, you don't walk around in the nuddie!
JOE: Oh, no, not now...but when I'm an artist, I might want to!
Joe doesn't really mind about Matt moving in though - he's young and single so won't be around much anyway.
