Toadie is telling Sarah about Pinhead's accident. Lou comes in. Toadie says he can't come in without 24 hours' notice. Lou says he's willing to negotiate.

Sarah says Tad is breaking the law. Toadie says that Sarah is right and pulls Tad out of the car. Toadie then starts to hot-wire it himself(!).
Martins
Ruth is on the phone to someone and talking to them angrily. She tells Phil she was talking to her mother. They talk about the dinner and Phil says she shouldn't let Karl intimidate her. There's a knock at the door and it's Amy. Susan and Karl arrive. Amy realises that Susan and Sarah have bought the same jacket. She tells Susan that she's seen someone with the same outfit. Susan doesn't grasp that it's someone who's going to the dinner too.

The Pub
Phil, Ruth, Susan and Karl are having drinks. Phil tells Ruth if she's worried about her mum she should book another flight to Broome to see her. They go out to an outside table and Sarah walks past wearing the multi-coloured jacket - Ruth is horrified. Sarah goes into the pub. Unfortunately Karl thinks she's Susan from the back and creeps up and kisses Sarah on the cheek! Susan is not pleased.
