During the conveniently placed ad break, Tad has obviously told Harold his plans and he reminds Tad of the reason he is living in Erinsborough - to go to school! Tad again says he is serious and Harold asks what he wants to do then with his life and Tad replies DJ'ing and studying audio engineering. Harold quizzes him on how he is going to support himself until he can do these things and Tad mentions that a friend labours for a living earning $800 a week, which doesn't impress Harold with him calling it a pipe dream. Tad explains the reason behind this decision - when he saw Tim lying in a hospital bed he realised that you only get one chance and life and you have to live it to the full and adds that he is not going to change his mind.
