Helen tells Pam and Doug that a tradesman turned up to do a job at their house - Jim was not happy having to pay a call- out charge for a job he could have done himself. Pam explains that they've had the same experience - Joe arrived to cut their trees. Now Doug has had to pay Joe $50. Madge has also had a visit. Pam thinks that someone should have "a word" with Dorothy and looks pointedly at Helen. Helen is not impressed, but Pam says Helen is the only one Dorothy will listen to!

Ryan and Dorothy are doing a post- mortem on today's history exam. Ryan thinks he went OK, but he doesn't think the essay question was very good. Dorothy says he studied a lot so should be OK. He should just move on to the next subject. Dorothy says he can make a start on his maths, and she wants to take him out for dinner at Lassiter's later to relax. Ryan thanks her and says he wishes everyone in Ramsay Street could see her like he does. He suggests she loosens up a bit.

Dorothy and Ryan are just heading off to Lassiter's when Helen pops around. She asks Dorothy if she's booked tradesmen for the street and Dorothy says that she has. Helen says that Dorothy is being presumptuous, but Dorothy reckons that she was just doing them a favour! Helen says the neighbours don't see it that way and it's been suggested that Dorothy pays for the work she authorised. Dorothy is unrepentant and says she'll just resign from Neighbourhood Watch. Helen will just have to take the position back.
