Stuart says he wants to do up old cars so that "the money will start rolling in" so he can pay off Flick's engagement ring.

He tells her they make a pretty good "chicken parma", but Joanne says she's a vegetarian apart from the occasional fish. She asks Max if he likes fish, and he says yes. Then Joanne says "Fish is great. Don't you think?" Max tells her maybe she should look at the menu.Steph is looking at Max and Joanne with a worried look.

Darcy tells her he knows he's right and to stop stressing.
At the Hoylands, Summer tells Daniel she's sorry that she hasn't been very welcoming and she gives him a "boy's necklace" she made. Daniel says "It's really cool, thanks." and gives her a new box of cereal and promises he won't eat it all this time.
Boyd comes in and tells Daniel he has to see something. They go into the backyard and Boyd shows Daniel that they can see into the Scullys' bathroom when they look over the fence.

At the pub, Libby and Stuart are having dinner. Stuart says he's sorry about the horse riding thing before. Libby says it's ok, that's it's just that since Drew died she can't go near a horse, even though she used to love them. She tells him that she doesn't want it to be like that forever. Stuart tells Libby he's there for her anytime she needs him. He asks her again if she would like to come with him. She says " I don't know."
