Libby snaps at Drew.
Coffee Shop
Michelle and Bianca arrive discussing school exams. Michelle wonders what Damon's wife was like. She says he must have had one as Harold said he suffered a bereavement. Bianca says she just wants to know all the gory details. She says she wants to discuss boys - like the one who just walked in - as Tad and Paul walk in with Flick. They get drinks and sit down discussing BMX competitions. Paul calls it 'real heart attack material' which alarms Harold when he overhears it.
HAROLD (To Paul): In my opinion there's tough and there's brainless. Let's hope you're not the latter eh?
PAUL: Most of the stunts aren't that scary anyway.
Michelle tells Bianca that's one fish she'll never catch, she's tried every way known to woman. Bianca says she's not looking at Paul, but Tad - she's always liked him, he's the cutest thing alive.

Michelle says she's been home ages, are they sure it was really her they were looking for. Tad pats Paul on the shoulder knowingly, and they go into the kitchen to talk to Flick.
