Paul comes round to hang out with Hannah and the Kurt the rabbit. Hannah moans about Ruth and Paul says she's probably just not used to living with Ruth. Hannah ignores this and continues to rant about Ruth claiming Ruth always gets her own way(!) Paul thinks the rabbit is off his food - they should take him to the vet. Hannah's worried that the vet will take him away, but Paul points out his original owner will be worried.

Lou and Lolly are off to the zoo for a picnic and have called in to get some sandwiches from Madge. Madge tells Lou he's lucky that the turn he had the other day wasn't worse. Lou didn't realise his "turn" was common knowledge(!)

Madge mentions that Harold is off "pampering his pumpkins" and is hoping to win a prize.

LOU: Speaking of gardening, have you had a snail problem recently?
MADGE:(alert) Snails?! No, I don't think so, why?
LOU: Well, I only usually get the odd one or two, but suddenly they're all over the place! They would pick on me, wouldn't they, I don't even have a veggie garden!
MADGE: No, you don't. It is strange, isn't it? (!)

Vet
The vet tells Hannah that he can't give her the rabbit back because she's not the real owner. The rabbit's foot is doing well and Hannah tells him that she'd love to be a vet. The vet says they might be able to give her some work experience. In the meantime, the rabbit will have to stay at the vet.

Lance is on the phone to Amy saying he's arranged them a very nice date and he'll pick her up in an hour. He then makes a call to someone else.

Vet
Hannah and Paul have arrived. Apparently if the rabbit isn't claimed in 24 hours, Hannah can have him, so she can call back tomorrow night. Also, she can be a volunteer helper in the holidays - as long as her parents agree.

Coffee Shop
Lance has brought Amy to the Coffee Shop, blindfold. Madge is helping him and has lowered the lights. He puts nice tablecloth and flowers and candles out on the table. He also puts soft music on the tape recorder. He finally removes the blindfold, and Amy isn't too impressed to find herself in the Coffee Shop. Lance says it's the best he can do, and it *is* a romantic candlelit dinner. Amy agrees to stay as Madge brings them over a menu.

MADGE: It isn't often we have the honour of hosting such an elegant soirée!

Susan looks a bit conflicted.
