Bishops
Harold 'the walking camping shop' arrives with an overload of stuff for the Scouting trip.

Susan asks what Karl reckons to it all, but he's too busy laying the table.

Bishops
Madge encourages Paul to eat up his breakfast as he'll need all the strength he can get for the orienteering. Paul admits he's a bit nervous about it, but he has done it before at school. He worries how enthusiastic Harold is going to be.

MADGE: He's promised he won't go over the top.

Cue Harold walking in, very much 'over the top'. Complete with kit, cheery smile and a bounce in his step. As Paul goes to get his stuff together, Madge is surprised to see Harold has got all the uniform on too.

MADGE: Oh you do jump in at the deep end don't you? What about Paul?
HAROLD: Oh, he can have his uniform when he learns his promise and laws, and passes all his tests.
MADGE: I used to say I loved a man in uniform. Now I'm not so sure.

Wilkinsons
Lance is all dressed up to try and persuade Amy to go with him to the ball. Ben enters the living room as Lance heads out the door. Anne offers him breakfast, but he declines. Ruth agrees to a coffee, and sits down to chat with Ben, who claims he feels awful. She asks that he be nice to Anne as she's only trying to help.

BEN: It's embarrassing, having people help you all the time. Especially when you are slipping all over the place.
RUTH: You know it must have been awkward for her to. She only did what she did because she cares for you. It's not fair to hold that against her.
BEN: I don't want to be a burden.
RUTH: You are not a burden. We're your family, we care for you.

They hug and he thanks her, admitting that he should've said it a while ago. Ruth advises that he says the same to Anne.

BEN: You're right as usual; I must get that trait from you. Sensible and rational, and never moody or stubborn.
RUTH: Can I get that in writing?

Coffee Shop
Lance helps Amy into her seat and admits he's trying to impress her as Johnny is after her, and wants to ask her out.

Everyone knows Johnny as he works at the uni bar. Lance looks even more concerned.

Lou's Place
Karl and Susan arrive for a meal to give the girls a bit of space back at home to discuss their uni ball outfits.

Ruth and Geoff are sitting over at the other table. Ruth explains that she is there purely for Ben's sake. She admits that hanging up the phone on him was harsh, but things have changed between them since the last time.

GEOFF: If you weren't in a relationship, I'd be tempted to try again.
RUTH: But I am in a relationship, and even if I wasn't...

She admits she can't stop him from seeing Ben, but that she doesn't want anything to do with him.

Wilkinsons
Anne and Ben agree that there are no hard feelings between them and forgive one another for the incident. Lance walks in all dressed in a suit and announces he's decided to go to the ball, mainly to see that Amy and Johnny don't get up to anything. Anne isn't so sure Amy will be impressed, but Lance sees it that she won't mind if she has nothing to hide.

Bush
Paul and Kenny are re-tracing their steps to try and find Harold, but it is only through the use of Harold and his whistle that they find him again. He yells at them for running off and asks if they know where they are. Kenny admits that he doesn't so Harold takes over the map reading and compass.

Wilkinsons
Lance gets stuck trying to get out of his smart shirt, as there is a knock on the door. Ben points out that he'll have to answer it, as it'll take himself two hours to get there. It turns out to be Geoff who has come to tell Ben that although things haven't worked out between him and Ruth as he'd hoped they would, he doesn't want to spoil things between the two of them.

Bush
The group come across a drop in the bush. As Paul gets the map out of the bag, Kenny spots a lizard and goes to take a look, but instead falls off the edge and lands down below.
