Gemma is doing her leg exercises to music when there's a knock at the door - it's Aidan. He's come to see how his ex-girlfriend is doing as he's heard about the accident from Tom. He's brought her a present from Queensland - a fresh coconut! They reminisce about old times - they grew up together. He's thinking he might stay in Melbourne for good. Gemma is pleased.
Pub
Glen has fixed the sound system and is chatting to Joe. Apparently they need to get the takings up in the pub, and Glen thinks that satellite TV might do it - but Paul says it'll be too expensive. Joe suggests doing frog racing at the pub! He's not sure that Paul will go for it though, although there's no law against it. He suggests doing a trial race tonight to see how it goes.

Gemma and Aidan are hanging out and chatting about Aidan's job prospects. He's just going to see what happens, as there's no jobs up in Queensland. Matt comes in and is very surprised to see Aidan there. He looks at him with some suspicion and mentions the Valentine's card. Aidan says the card was just a running joke - he and Gemma have a competition to find the most revolting cards! Matt isn't pleased that Aidan is going to be hanging around for a while.

The frog racing is getting underway. Aidan tells Joe that they need a race-caller and they volunteer Matt for the job. They all place their bets. Then the race starts. The frogs just sit there while Matt does the commentary(!) Finally the frogs start to move and Harold the frog wins! Everyone cheers.

Jim has brought Dorothy some albums. They are getting on very well and reminiscing about their old university days. Dorothy went on lots of protests back then, including one against Vietnam. Jim is surprised that Dorothy was a radical in her younger days, and asks her to tell him more. Dorothy says she could tell him over dinner tomorrow night if he likes.
Pub
Joe is doing very well in the frog-racing and the pub is full of excited punters. At the bar, Aidan orders some drinks from Glen and tells him that he used to go out with Gemma. She didn't exactly dump him, she just took up with Matt. Glen thinks Aidan is still keen on Gemma and wants her back. Aidan is forced to admit that Glen is right - and what's more he thinks he's still in with a chance with Gemma.
