Lance and Toadie are eating mudcake, much to Dione and Joel's disgust. They won't take Joel's hints that they should go, but eventually wander off to bed.

When they've gone, Joel says that the proposal was the wrong gesture, so he's come up with another way of demonstrating his commitment. Then he shows her the tattoo. Dione says the tattoo is beautiful and says she loves it. Joel is very surprised. Dione says he couldn't have done anything to impress her more!

Joe isn't impressed to see Toadie, Lance and Joel arriving for breakfast.

JOE: Why don't you look under Erinsborough Bridge? You'd find a much better class of dead-beat waiting for a free feed there!

Joel asks Joe about his tattoo but Lyn warns Joe not to get it out at the table! Joel lets slip that he thinks tattoos are for meatheads.

There is a bit of a silence.

JOE: I beg your pardon?
JOEL: Nothing personal, Joe.
JOE: No, well, you're sitting at my breakfast table and call me a meathead and it's not personal?
JOEL: I just wasn't thinking. There's nothing wrong with being a meathead.

Joel shows Joe his tattoo and he immediately sees that it's a sticker!

The boys have gone. Lyn tells Joe about Steph going out with Daniel and that she's still really keen on Drew. Joe isn't very interested though and reads the paper. Lyn wants Joe to talk to Steph. She tells him that the girls think he doesn't care about them anymore - he's losing touch.

Joe is offended by Lyn's accusations. She says she's not criticising - he just needs to spend time with the girls before they're grown up and gone. Joe is very upset and leaves for work, slamming the door.
