Sarah has finished getting ready for dinner. Peter is enjoying Bob's company. She apologises for Geri and Joel but Peter is quite laid-back about it. Sarah tells him that they're going to a vegetarian restaurant. He grimaces a bit and says he supposes Sarah's been a vegetarian all her life (because of her mother). She says she isn't - and neither is Peter. Sarah calls the vegetarian restaurant to cancel and books an Italian restaurant instead!

Lou comes round. Lolly won't settle again. He asks Madge if she'll come over and sing her to sleep. Madge says it'll have to be after dinner.

Lou asks Harold if Ruth has spoken to him about Lance. He says she has - she wasn't very pleased but at least it's out in the open now. Lou goes back home.

Harold tells Madge that Lou has got to stop depending on her - it's the third night in a row that he's asked her to settle Louise down. Madge says she doesn't mind but Harold is adamant - it's a problem that Lou has to solve himself.

Italian Restaurant
Sarah and Peter are enjoying themselves. Peter says Sarah is nothing like what he was expecting - a night of whale-song, incense and tree-hugging. Sarah laughs and says she thought the same about him!

Peter says he knows her mother through his work for Medicins Sans Frontieres. He's a doctor and has worked with the poor in China and Uganda. Now he's back in Australia for a break. He is now trying to decide whether to take another mission or take an office job in Amsterdam. Sarah is impressed with his work. Peter says he's no saint - he's proud of his work, but he likes the chance to live and work in other cultures. Also he likes testing his medical skills in less-than-perfect conditions. Sarah says he's a bit of an adrenaline-junkie! He admits that he is a bit.

Sarah is pouring Peter some coffee. Joel is appalled that they've only just got home(!). Sarah said they went to a nightclub and then had a walk on the beach to watch the sunrise.

Sarah asks Joel how he's feeling about Geri. He says he never realised how bossy she is. He doesn't know if he can be bothered to get back together with her.

When Madge comes over, Harold tells Madge what Peter said. Madge laughs it off, but Harold says that Lolly is starting to regard Madge as her other parent. Also Lou is starting to depend on her and she must withdraw. Madge says she doesn't know how to do that without hurting Lou's feelings.

Lou's
Madge comes to see Lou. He said he thought she liked looking after Lolly. Madge says that she does, but that's not the point - she's worried about Lou's relationship with Lolly. He calls Madge every time she's naughty and it gives the wrong message - she'll be naughty more so she can see Madge more. Madge says that Lou must hand out punishments himself - Lolly's behaviour is his responsibility. Lou is a bit offended, but Madge begs him not to be. She says he and Lolly have got a lovely bond and she doesn't want to see that let go. Madge says she isn't her mother and she mustn't be put in a position where Lolly sees her as one. Lou is offended at Madge's remarks. At that point Lolly comes into the room and calls out delightedly to Madge, but Lou picks Lolly up and asks Madge to leave.

He can't get too attached because of the nature of the work he does. His phone rings - his meeting can't be rescheduled, so he goes off to get changed. Sarah asks if they can meet later. They agree to meet at the pub in two hours.

The phone rings and it's Sarah's mother. She compliments her choice of friends.

A road
Susan and Karl are cycling along. Karl gets his trousers caught in the chain. As she tries to free him, she says he should have worn bicycle clips. Karl says they are near Lassiters - they could call into the Surgery for a pair of scissors to cut himself out. But then he remembers that he didn't bring the key for the surgery. Susan says she'll ask Lou for a pair. Karl doesn't want to as Lou will tell everyone(!) but his protests fall on deaf ears. Susan marches off and Karl hops after her with the bike, his trousers still stuck in the chain!

Karl brings the bike all the way into the pub(!) for Lou to cut him out. Susan says he should have just whipped his trousers off outside(!) Lou's scissors are blunt and Susan says the bike is due back to the rental people in about two minutes. She orders Karl to take his trousers off. Karl isn't keen, but Susan has that look in her eye that he doesn't dare refuse! He undoes his trousers and Lou tells him he has a great pair of legs(!)

Sarah comes in and Karl hides behind Susan(!) Sarah introduces Peter to Karl and Susan as being from Medicins Sans Frontiers. Susan says Karl is from "Medicins Sans Trousers" !! Karl says he doesn't usually dress like that. He runs off to the back room.

Bishops
Lou and Lolly come round. Lou says he owes Madge an apology - she was dead right in what she said about him relying on her.
